Sharing Books was started to help people like Lucy Lunn, those authors and illustrators of children's books who are waiting in the wings and afraid to get rejected. Authors who have tried desperately for years to get their books published, and faced rejection letter after rejection letter.

These are talented people, with products that could very well be the next Harry Potter or Beatrix Potter, and they are ignored, rejected, and dejected because they do not fit with the various risk assessments and publishing agendas of traditional publishing companies.

This is one of the big reasons Sharing Books was started, to give a home to the thousands of authors and illustrators that the traditional publishers spend so very much time saying 'NO' to.
