Hello Everyone, I written a few things but I finally thought of a great idea that I think would be good enough for publishing. I wrote a children's fanasty chapter book. The only problem is, I based it off information from another book. Is this legal??? Also, does anyone know any publishers that don't require agents that do fansty children's books. Thanks! -Arpooch
Firstly, it depends what you mean by "based it off information from another book". Secondly, you need to reserach publishers. It isn't hard to find resources on Google. Or buy a copy of Writer's Market, or it's equivalent wherever you live. Thirdly, judging by your spelling and grammar in that post, I worry your writing skills aren't at a publishable level yet.
I don't really care what my grammar is like on a forum. When I get to writing though, I look at my grammar closely. And I just noticed my grammar mistake in the first sentence. oops. This is the book I'm basing it off of: Gnomes, by Rien Poortvliet I'm not exacty sure if the information in this book was made up especially for this book or it comes from other stories about gnomes. I appreciate your feedback.
Well, back to the drawing board. I thought the information in that book was based on folklore and stories. Thanks a lot.
