One of my side-lines, that I mentioned here a while back, is writing books
for children, primarily aged 4 to 8, on extropian topics. My scientific
reviewers love them, but I haven't found a publisher yet. From the comments
I've gotten back from editors, it's professional-grade writing but too
different from the other stuff they publish.

A big-name pro I know has given me an entree to their editor; we'll see if
that helps. An alternative is to self-publish and market through amazon.com;
but that won't get the books into the hands of the kids who need them the
most.
