OTMA Bio for children

I have to agree with many on this thread that your book sounds delightful. I would suggest getting in touch with Eurohistory, a publishing house and memeber of the board.  Many young people have much to write about, like one of my favorites, Joan D'arc!  

What on earth more could possibly be wriiten about those children?  Olga was 23,  I think, Alexei 14, hardly old enough to merit a biography.
On that note, a slim volume on Anastasia has been published.
I can understand a children's book, perhaps, but otherwise evrything about them has already been written.
Much like the silly bios that have come out since  the Windsors princes were born it seems to me.

As a child of 8 or 9, I slogged through biographies written for adults about people I wanted to learn about because there were no biographies written about them for children.  

I see your point about how much more can be written about them from an adult's perspective. Even from a scholar's perspective. As a history teacher, I am for any well written  biographies written for children that will trigger their interest in history and even better, trigger their interest in learning.

Yes, there are some "silly bios" out there. I will agree with you on that one. Yet, at the same time, how silly is it if it creates just the desire to read? And that desire to read more leads them to learn more about history and some day, perhaps, creates a history teacher who passes along their love of history to a student?
 
 

Are you familiar with Pavlovsk Press?  Check out www.gilbertsroyalbooks.com.  Paul Gilbert has been publishing newsletters and a small digest/magazine which is devoted to Russian Imperial history.  I believe you may find a good opportunity there; they are looking for writers and he has direct access to the market for specific material like this.

Sincere regards,

[Anastasia's Album]

Anastasia's Album is a biography for children (albeit also filled with pictures) and I find it one of my favorite Romanov books. A book intended for children wouldn't have to be a long tome (those popular Princess Diary series books clock in at under two hundred pages) and it would help dispel a lot of the misconceptions kids have about the Imperial children they've gotten from the Anastasia cartoon and like-minded work. It would also be useful especially if it was translated into Russian (given the one-sided version of history they were force fed for years). I certainly would like to read one and I'm not even a child.

I hope you get a publisher, Lara.
