This poll is for agents, editors and art directors. For editors and art directors, I'm looking for those who are involved in the decision-making process re: book contracts or initial talent-scouting. Thanks!

Focus of these surveys: craft and business of writing and/or illustrating books, publishing industry. Results will be discussed at the SCBWI-Florida Regional Conference, SCBWI Metro NY Chapter (Feb event) and SCBWI-LA Writer's Day as well as summarized in Inkygirl.com later this year. You can also see other current and past surveys in the Inkygirl Survey Archives. Thanks! - Debbie Ridpath Ohi
