What
Is The Purple Crayon? |
|
I am a children's book editor, and I created this site so I could
post articles and other materials about how to publish a children's book.
Over the years, the site has grown and now includes articles contributed
by other people, covering writing, illustrating, marketing, and
editing.

My first name's Harold, and I have always loved the Harold and
the Purple Crayon books by Crockett Johnson. So the name and
design of this site are an allusion and a tribute to them.
