E29. Publishing a Children’s Book: Here's Everything You Need to Know!
Send Marti a text message HERE!
Welcome back to The Rebel Maker Podcast. In today’s episode, I’m talking about one of the favorite things I do at Rebel Queen: publishing children’s books.
There has been so much coming up lately as it pertains to children's books. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about this topic, so I decided to do a podcast episode on it.
Listen in because we're going to spill the tea on children’s books and I’ll give you a high-level overview of what you need to do to get your children's book written, edited, and published.
In this episode:
- [02:10] Where my love of reading comes from
- [05:09] Writing and editing your manuscript
- [08:07] Before finding an illustrator
- [12:08] Hiring an illustrator for your children’s book
- [17:11] Now you need a cover
- [17:47] Layout and formatting of a children’s book
Noteworthy quote from this episode:
“There is something to be said about hiring an illustrator and allowing them some creative freedom. But you still need to give them direction because this is your book.”
