Who We Are:

Children’s Book Insider is a family business based in Fort Collins, Colorado.  We began in May, 1990 and have helped thousands of people start and build successful careers writing for children.  The folks behind CBI are the husband and wife team of Jon Bard and Laura Backes.
 
Laura is one of the world’s best known children’s writing teachers, and has been published by Writer’s Digest, The Writer, Random House and countless other outlets.  Jon is the former owner of a New York PR firm and is well known for his articles, posts and videos on the art of promotion for writers.

 

 


 
Jon and Laura are joined by an amazing cast of contributors including multi-million selling authors, award-winning writers and marketing legends.
 

What We Believe:

 

  • The world’s children need and deserve wonderful books that educate, entertain and inspire.
