Andrea Brown, CEO of one of the largest literary agencies specializing
in children's books, talks to Authorlink about the future of this category of publishing.

In this recent Authorlink video interview with Andrea Brown, she proclaims a bright future for children's books, despite the downturn in the general US publishing industry. We caught up with her at the Harriett Austin Writers' Conference in Georgia, where we discussed the trends. These days, publishers are looking more for books that entertain rather than teach, she says. See what Andrea thinks about what's hot and not today.
