Making a Children’s Book Is Easy . . .
Until you start the process, making a children’s book sounds simple. 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 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 design and self-publish a children’s book yourself using a print-on-demand (POD) printer such as Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).
This includes:
- 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 and other POD requirements
- Best practices for working with an illustrator and placing illustrations with text in a book for children
- Preparing the book files correctly for uploading to avoid errors (and what to do if errors happen!)
- The instructions to uploading the files to KDP (Amazon’s POD service) one step at a time
PLUS TEMPLATES: We’ve prepared templates for you to use in Adobe InDesign and other software to help get you started. Plus, we’ve included many additional diagrams, tips, and tricks throughout the book to help clarify the process for anyone creating a children’s book for the first time!
