Explained inside are the parts of a book, story elements, laying out a book, fonts, and text, illustrating, proofreading, print-on-demand, royalties, helpful tips, uploading to Amazon KDP, and more. The sooner you finish your book, the faster you can order one, turn the pages, and sell it. Order one or 1000, but let's make this happen!
This book DOES NOT COVER publishing eBooks or using Kindle Create. How to Self-Publish a Children's Paperback Picture Book focuses on publishing a physical paperback picture book com (held in one's hands) that can be nationally and internationally distributed, shipped directly from Amazon, given to friends, or sold by the author at events. Published books will sell on Amazon.com to the general public and can be ordered in quantities of one or more for author resale.
It includes story elements, the different parts of a book, laying out a book, fonts and text, illustrating, proofing a book, print-on-demand, royalties, uploading to Amazon KDP, and more. Useful templates and story maps that can be copied, scanned, and reused are provided to help writers organize their thoughts.
The author uses Microsoft Publisher to write, set up, and format PDFs for uploading. She wanted to share her publishing experience because if she can do it, you can do it. She distributes hundreds of picture books during author visits to schools. Other writers have found publishing success using similar writing and multimedia programs, such as Scrivener (for screenplays and large amounts of text), or those in the Adobe family.
This process also works for writers who want to affordably publish and distribute physical books with more pages, such as a memoir, instruction manual, puzzle & game book, graphic comic book, coloring book, cookbook, end-of-year school highlights, yearbook, or multi-page novel with no pictures at all, even if the book gets distributed to a limited number of people.
Bulk Orders: This title is available in bulk directly from the publisher for school districts, writing programs, author workshops, author visits, conferences, literacy programs, library presentations, book clubs, non-profit initiatives, licensing, or educational grants that promote writing and literacy.
