Artist's agent?

[Emperor]

A friend is midway through producing an illustrated children's book (I've read the script and seen the early drafts and it is looking good) but his agent has decided they don't want to be invovled with kid's books.

He is talking about self-publishing it if it comes to that but I said I'd ask around a bit and see if anyone knew of any good people to contact and here seemed a good place to start.

Thanks in advance.

I take it you both know about The Writer's and Artist's Yearbook?

Yeah good call - he is out in the Far East at the moment but I'm sure someone can get a copy to him.

I suppose what I was realy looking for were recommendations (or possibly more importantly unrecommendations, "don't-touch-them-with-a-bargepole" hints, etc.) or possibly other good places to ask (as it strikes me as being a bit specialised). I'm trying to jolly him along into doing some networking and getting a few samples online ;)
