Scott Nelson · Nov 25, 2006

Hey:

I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Scott Nelson and I've been an illustrator/cartoonist and author for over 19 years. (yikes-- how time flys?) I know a little bit about this business but also need to learn a bit more. Glad there's a place on line that we can all turn to each other for whatever questions/situations come up .

I've done freelance work for numerous greeting card companies and had some success in the children's book market as well. When you have a moment , check out my personal site at WWW.ScottNelsonandSon.com or one of my book sites at WWW.MulchtheLawnmower.com .

Currently I'm looking for a good children's book Literary Agent who can help me find a home for my new project I'm working on. The series deals with young school aged children and the embarrasing social situations we/they all face. (IE: throwing up in school, nose picking in school, passing wind in school etc.) Any agent recomedations would be greatly appreciated as I have a lot of passion for this particular cause.

Thanks again and glad to be here. Give me a holla if you want.
Scott Nelson

Welcome Scott! :welcome:

Children's books aren't my speciality, but I'm sure you'll receive plenty of good advice from the people here.

Best of Luck!

Hiya, Scott! Welcome to the Cooler.

Impressive websites. Some of your stuff was halarious (sp?). Loved the ed/ad stuff, like the coffee cup one (and I don't drink coffee!).

I bet your son gives too much inspiration!

Too bad I haven't any kids to read Mulch to. I'm sure you'll have no worries finding a home for your new series. Good luck!

Welcome Scott.

So you've done some greeting card illustrations? I've done a lot of greeting card writing. It's a great field.

Good luck with your current project.

Wow, and illustrator! We were just talking about how we never can find any illustrators! I think you're about to get pounced on by a bunch of writers!

HI Scott and welcome to AW. Nice to meet you. I'm sure you've got a lot to contribute to the discussion, so please don't be shy.

I second Terri--be sure to visit the Bewares and Background Checks forum to check out any agent you're considering.
