Hi, Please consider adding my websites as a resource for children’s writers. It was listed 7 years running in Writers Digest Magazine’s list “101 Best Websites for Writers” in the kidlit category. I actually have your site listed under the marketing category, but I no longer see Bookbites Radio Show listed. Is it still available?
Thanks, Rachelle. It’s listed now. Please encourage the children’s book authors you know to submit their books to us for possible review.
