Her main problem is that she reads about some of these kids' books that sell millions of copies and make a ton of money for their authors and she thinks she can do that. I suppose anything is possible, but I have pointed out to her that most of these people are either celebrities who have written the book and have a large amount of fame that they can capitalize on them or they are well-known in the kids' book world.
I felt like she would be better served to get the book out, get some feedback, maybe make a few bucks and start growing a fan base. She has ideas for an entire series of books based on these dogs. I suggested if she can get decent sales on her own the bigger publishers will come to her.
She, however, is certain that she is going to find the right publisher who will see what she has to offer and will give her a six figure advance just for this book.
So really she is looking for a soul sucking corporation to give her a bunch of money up front which is likely never going to happen.
