I recommend you check out SCBWI (scbwi.org). They have loads of info for new writers of children's books. That's where I got started, as well. It's really important (and fun!) to meet other new writers you can exchange work with. And on the boards, you can get all your questions answered about cover letters and publishers, and so forth. You can also find links to lots of other helpful websites/blogs. I hope you enjoy exploring.(less)
