How to Write and Publish your own Children's Book!

Were you able to accomplish some awesome things during this quarantine? If anything good came from this lockdown pandemic it was that I was finally able to finish my third book, Robot Goes to China ! You can find the ebook and paperback here on Amazon!

I even made a youtube video to share the process I used to write, illustrate and SELF publish this book using Amazon Direct Publishing https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/.

The whole process took me two years to complete ( because I am a procrastinator and have had many life events conflict with my ability to devote the time it needed! ) but you could easily simplify the process and save time.

With that said - it is a BIG undertaking but if I can do it- I know you can too!

This book is actually the third book in my Artrageous Adventure series which involves a dog, Robot, who goes on art history adventures with his owner and friends. I wrote the books to help me teach art history lessons in the elementary art room so there is an easy to follow art lesson at the end of each book ( a cave painting, Egyptian portrait, and a chinese brush painting of a dragon)

Step 1: I start the process with brainstorming and thinking about my audience

Step 2- Then I either story board or just start typing the manuscript using a microsoft word book manuscript template.

Step 3- Draw the cover !

Step 4- Draw the illustrations

Step 5- Digitize your illustrations

Step 6- Convert text and pictures into a powerpoint file to format each page

Step 7- PUBLISH- Create your amazon account and fill out your information, book details, cost and upload your file- ( export/print the powerpoint into PDF file) You can even create your own About the Author page on Author central on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B088HFTFBV
