Self-publishing your children’s book comes with a plethora of perks. Illustrations are an essential element for most children’s books, so you want to make sure that these are very specific to how your story unfolds.
Traditional publishers assume control of your book’s creative aspect; in this case, you do not have a hold on your very own book. Self-publishing allows you to determine what you want with your book, in all its entirety.
It can also be a challenge getting your children’s book ready for publication if you have plenty of illustrations all throughout. It requires extra care especially when making changes in the text so that the illustrations that come with it still complement your story.
Before turning in your manuscript for publishing, it’s always smart to let others read it from start to finish. This way, you know that the illustrations correspond with every text in your story. Most children’s books are usually not lengthy, so this should be realistic a task. It would also be a good idea to have a child, from which you are targeting your book to, read your story as well. They can give excellent ideas that only a child’s imagination can provide.
When self-publishing your children’s book, you need to get a professional designer who is adept with the cover. The primary reason for people to pick up a book, more so a children’s book, is its cover, so you want to make sure it looks very appealing to kids and adults alike at first glance.
Children’s books cater to a specific age group, which makes it an important factor when marketing your book. There are several places to generate interest in your book. From children’s libraries, kindergarten and elementary schools, book festivals, trade shows and book fairs down to the simple household. You can even join book reading programs for children or sponsor one yourself at summer camps or local libraries.
