THERE IS NO CHARGE TO BE LISTED on this blog, however... I do ask for a reciprocal link. (To my own website, www.kimnormanbooks.com, not this author-by-state site. Why invite competition on your own site, right?)
MY DEFINITION OF "TRADITIONALLY PUBLISHED"... If you're with a publisher you know I'll recognize, (established pros will know) then... not to worry. Write to me and I'll add you. If you have any doubts, rather than haggle over what qualifies as traditional, I'm going to simplify things. CLICK THIS LINK and scroll down to a list of publishers approved by SCBWI to be included in their Publishers Market Survey. If you see your publisher on this list, write to me. If not, then you're with a publisher that's too obscure for you to be added to this site. I'm sorry to make this distinction, but with over 700 links already, I don't want the site to become so unwieldy that it loses its original intent: to save educators time when "shopping" for an author. And... paper books only, please, not e-books.

Headin' out!


What a busy week ahead, (after a busy week LAST week!) but I'm excited about it. I'll be in York, Pennsylvania on Thursday, March 18th, visiting Trimmer and Wallace Elementary Schools. Then on Friday, I'll be in Blacksburg, VA, a few hours south, visiting Margaret Beeks Elementary.

Then, for icing on the cake, I'll be in Charlottesville on Saturday, attending the Festival of the Book. I've always meant to get to that and never have yet. So this will be a treat.

The BUSY part of last week was that I had two conferences, AND -- the best part -- got to meet and have dinner with my agent. It was such a great weekend!
