If anyone would know, it'd be you guys. So, Fellow Writers, how does one do about preparing for a book launch? My children's book is nearing completion - I'm getting closer to it everyday. My illustrator is amazing and we've only had to do minor fixes to her pictures. (I wish I could share them with you) But yeah. Book Launch! I need help with preparing myself to make one! |
How's does this sound? I'm planning on using this for the back cover: Marbles is a bunny. He thinks he is pretty cool. Being a bunny, Marbles considers himself an expert in his breed and would love to share his knowledge with you. With illustrations done in a beautiful black and white style, Marbles' story is sure to delight children both young and old. Not only do these illustrations stand out on their own but they offer a unique opportunity for this book to become a lovely, heartfelt keepsake; this children's book has a color-it-yourself option. You and your child, whether together or alone, can color this book, personalizing it just right for the bunny lover in your life. ~NOTE: I have not found an illustrator yet but I have decided to go with a black and white option.~ |
FULL COLORED OR BLACK AND WHITE? I've recently written a children's book and I am in the hunt for an illustrator. So far the quotes I've been giving are pretty pricey but I want to make sure that I'm going in the right direction. I have two styles I am interested in. For this book, which is about bunnies, I want either a full colored with a water color effect on the pictures. This is going to cost me the most. Or I want to go with black and white illustrations and let the parent, teacher, or child color the book in themselves to make it just a bit more personal. This one is still high in price but not as expensive and it includes a full colored cover. But what do you guys think? Should a children's book be colorful or should I allow it to be black and white and let people color it themselves? |
So I just wrote a children's book today. Took me about two hours to write it. I'm on the fence of whether or not I should self publish or go the traditional route. A lot of people are telling me to go with self pub. Anyway, I'm posting it in my portfolio - I've been getting a ton of sweet reviews from people willing to read it (fellow writers and bunny lovers). I'm just looking into illustrators now. It's hard to find one I like. |
Keep this going. I still remember something about your cheetah anthro--is that still out there? It's not too many things that long ago that I remember. (Sorry I let my then-future-ex turn me off of it.)
