That’s a latte. It’s rich, frothy and costs about $3.95. You probably buy more than a few of these every month without thinking about it.
See this?

And this?

Up top is an issue of Children’s Book Insider, The Newsletter for Children’s Writers, and month after month it’s packed with market listings, how-to advice and insight from the best minds in the business, all geared toward getting you a publishing contract. Since 1990, Children’s Book Insider has been the guidepost for thousands of people — just like you — to follow their dream of writing for children and young adults.
Below it is full, unlimited access to The CBI Clubhouse, our groundbreaking new community for children’s writers. Updated constantly with audio, video, special features, late breaking news, free eBooks, surprise bonuses, exciting message forums and much more, The CBI Clubhouse brings together writers from across the globe to learn, share and support one another’s journey toward a publishing contract. Together, we THE FIGHTIN' BOOKWORMS!
Some extraordinary authors — many of whom have been published time and again — gather in The Clubhouse, side by side with those just getting started, all bound by a love of children’s literature…and a burning desire to succeed.

And here’s the incredible part:
Together, for
a limited time, these two unbeatable
success tools for children’s writers cost the same as that
single latte:
$3.95 a month. That’s it. Really!
That’s right — it will cost you only $3.95 today to get started. This special monthly rate is for charter members to celebrate the grand opening of the CBI Clubhouse. It will be strictly limited to the first 400 new members. After that, our monthly rate will go up, but charter members will always be locked in at this special price.
Every month, you’ll get:
A complete elecronic downloadable edition of Children's Book Insider, the Newsletter for Children's Writers, featuring:
NEW MARKETS. The first thing you'll see when you pick up CBI each month is "At Presstime," two pages of fresh and exclusive market news. We'll tell you about new imprints, changes in editorial direction, calls for submission, contests, grants and much more. We use our exclusive network of sources to provide our readers with the hottest leads. And we put it all right up front, because we know your first objective as a writer is to sell. "At Presstime" is the source to find out who's buying.
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR WORK. We extensively cover the nuts and bolts of submitting your work, with information that will make it easy for you to take action. Our Editor Profile series brings you up close to top editors, who will tell you -- in their own words -- exactly what they're looking for and how they like to be approached. Plus, CBI's feature articles cover every aspect of the submissions process -- from formatting your manuscript all the way through signing a contract.
WRITING SECRETS. Our straightforward "how-to" pieces about writing give you the do's, don'ts and golden rules of children's literature. From picture books through young adult novels, CBI tells the secrets that can turn rejection letters into book contracts.
ADVICE FROM TOP AUTHORS. CBI brings you the advice, encouragement and wisdom of America's top children's writers, through our series of exclusive interviews. Judy Blume, Jane Yolen, R.L. Stine, Gary Paulsen, Walter Dean Myers....these are just a few of the big names that have appeared in CBI. (Apply the lessons these folks have to offer and, who knows, maybe someday we'll be interviewing you!)
Plus there's so much more: legal, tax and accounting advice; emerging technologies such as Print-on-Demand and Electronic Books; multicultural and folktales; the religious marketplace...and on and on.

So let’s recap.
Latte:
Rich, creamy, over in about 5 minutes and does nothing to help you get published.
Children’s
Book Insider &
The CBI Clubhouse:
A full month of instruction, information, inspiration and connection with a community of children’s writers from across the globe. And no calories.
In pursuing your dream of writing for children, there’s no need to go it alone. Not when there’s expert guidance and a community of fellow writers a mouse click away, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Fightin’ Bookworms learn together, we laugh together, we celebrate our successes together and we overcome obstacles together. We are here for each other, and we move together toward our ultimate goals.

Think you have what it takes to hang with the Fightin’ Bookworms? We bet you do, and that you’ll really love being a part of our family.

So come on, and take a big step toward real success as a children’s writer. And when those royalties start rolling in, you can buy yourself all the biggest, fanciest lattes you want. Heck, maybe you can even buy the whole coffee shop.
See ya’ ’round The Clubhouse!

If you enjoy your membership, do nothing and, for only $3.95 each month, you’ll be a Fightin’ Bookworm in good standing. If we’re not right for you, just cancel at any time!
