Overview
Making a Picture Book Is Easy . . . Or So You Thought! Making a children's book sounds simple until you start the process. There aren't many words, and most of the pages are made of pictures, right? How hard can it be? Understanding the details necessary to prepare a book for self-publishing on Amazon (or any print on demand distributor) can be overwhelming, especially when you throw illustrations into the mix. This book, written and illustrated by book designers who are also published illustrators, will give you the knowledge to format and self-publish a children's book yourself using a print on demand (POD) distributor, such as Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). What you'll learn: ✓ What options are available when publishing a book with KDP ✓ Best practices for setting up the book interior files for a children's book ✓ How to create a well-designed cover and prepare the spread properly to meet KDP requirements ✓ Best practices for working with an illustrator ✓ How to prepare the book files correctly for uploading to avoid errors (and what to do if errors happen) ✓ The instructions for uploading the files to KDP one step at a time ✓ A glossary of terms related to design, printing, and self-publishing for the novice author. BONUS FEATURES: In addition to the written content, we've prepared short videos and included diagrams, tips, and tricks throughout the book to help clarify the process for anyone creating or illustrating a children's picture book for the first time! We've answered all the questions we've heard over and over again as we've worked with authors and illustrators, and assembled them in one place to help you publish your book! Now that you have the tools and the know-how, this is the year to self-publish your book and become a published author!
