Luvverly LISTS for Writers and Illustrators!
Hi Everyone! 
Lists can be extremely useful, especially when they are constantly being updated!
Here are SIX such.
The first, compiled by the enterprising and enthusiastic Brain Grove, is a list of US publishers who are currently accepting submissions for children’s books – http://j.mp/SVbnCk – he also, very helpfully, adds links to each entry to take you straight to the site. I also recommend his ebook on query /submission letter writing.
A second list, an international one, that is regularly updated is on Lou Treleaven’s Blog:

The third, a veritable database of bloggers who interview and/or review, is continuously being updated by the very proactive authors, Delin Colon and Lisa Kalner Williams – http://bit.ly/writerinterviewopps …
Fourth – a database of legends and folktales – if you are looking for inspiration for twists on fairytales or legends, fables etc – here is a whole swag!
Fifth – oh this one is an essential! The inimitable Katie Davis’s Tool Kit is linked out under 5 ‘HEADLINE’ headings!!
If you haven’t joined www.jacketflap.com, I highly recommend it – an excellent networking site for all things related to children’s literature and books.
Latest addition, number six, Rachelle Burk has a wonderful resource site – http://www.resourcesforchildrenswriters.com/ – her awarded list of wonderfully helpful links is truly encyclopaedic!
Get busy and good luck!
GREAT resources! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks for dropping by Julie! Note the additional resource Delin has kindly added in her comment.
I’d also like to add another Google doc, “Kindle Freebie Day Promo Places,” which lists where to promote your book on the day it’s free: http://bit.ly/OEUNLj
Thanks for adding this, Delin, appreciated!
Thanks for linking to my list of UK publishers! Hope people find it useful. Lou.
I certain they will, Lou!:) Thank you for all your hard work on our behalf.
