On the CWIM blog, there's a great post where two literary agents who represent children's books—Tracey Adams of Adams Literary and Kate Schafer of KT Literary (formerly of Janklow & Nesbit Associates)—talk submissions, rewrites and what's needed for a killer submission.

Chuck Sambuchino is a former editor with the Writer's Digest writing community and author of several books, including How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack and Create Your Writer Platform.
