I have written and illustrated a children's book and am looking for advice about where to go with it now. My thoughts are: approach independent bookstores, contact an illustrator's agent, approach publishing companies - but it is all very vague and I am entering a world that I know nothing about. What options do I have? I realise I could self publish, but I don't know how I'd go about promoting it, for example. I looked [here](https://writing.stackexchange.com/questions/3477/publishing-a-childrens-picture-book-question-about-an-app-and-a-printed-vers?rq=1) but it's not really the same question I'm asking. @Standback's answer is helpful, but I don't know how the nuts and bolts of it really work. In fact I have no clue where to begin. In particular: > My inclination would be to shop around the manuscript now to agents and publishers is what I'm looking for advice on. How would one go about this process? I'd be very grateful for as much detail as possible, as I'm completely in the dark when it comes to the business side of things.
