Perhaps writing is not necessarily your thing-you're more of an illustrator, an artist, or a photographer, and you want to learn more about the world of art publishing. This webpage gives information on art publishers, as well as some children's publishers, due to the art involved in producing children's books.
The best place to find art publishing firms is on the Internet.
Yahoo's directory + photography publishers
A small, but growing art publisher directory exists on http://www.artmarketing.com/Links/a_publis.html.
There is a printed directory named the Directory of Art Publishers, Book Publishers, and Record Companies: A Directory of Art Publishers for the Fine Artist, but this directory lists mostly businesses that make prints of artwork, not publishers of art books. It may or may not be what you are looking for.
A fantastic resource for publishers of children's literature is the Children's Writers & Illustrator's Market. This directory contains 750 updated listings, including book publishers and magazines, agents and art reps, greeting cards and play publishers. It also offers advice from some of the top names in children's literature today. No other reference provides as many listings specifically for children's writers and illustrators.
