For full disclosure, April Cox, children\u2019s book author and the founder of Self Publishing Made Simple, reached out to Kindlepreneur to offer a spot in her 12 week author work group in exchange for unbiased feedback on the course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monique Danielle, of our stellar support team, gladly took the challenge, though she had never before attempted a children\u2019s book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While this course is specifically catering to children\u2019s books, and therefore may not apply to all self-publishing authors, the guidelines chosen for reviewing courses on Kindlepreneur were met:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before we dive too deep, here are the details on the course itself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 12 week author work group from Self-Publishing Made Easy is the ideal setting for children\u2019s book authors<\/a> who are passionate about their books and committed to releasing a high quality, award-ready book. Whether you\u2019ve written your first children\u2019s story or you\u2019ve already published a collection, April and the experts she invites carefully walk you through everything required to publish your children\u2019s book<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Publishing can be intimidating, and publishing children\u2019s books holds a special dose of intimidation. With a children\u2019s book, you not only have to write captivating works, you also generally have to provide emotionally grabbing illustrations. Your intended audience likely has an attention span of only a few seconds, so every page needs to charm, enchant, and dazzle young minds. No pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n During your 12 week workgroup, you\u2019ll take time to prepare your mindset and your publishing strategy, prepare your marketing approach (after learning what that means and what your options are), and methodically check off every box from manuscript to illustrations, editing, to layout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By the end of the course, you\u2019ll not only be ready to publish on multiple platforms, but you\u2019ll also be prepared to dazzle and attract readers through targeted marketing techniques that bring you as much joy to create as your audience will experience as they explore your newest publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every module has a specific goal and supports you through the most stressful parts of creating a children\u2019s book. You\u2019ll have access to videos as well as written guides and workflows, not to mention a team of professionals available for your needs, often at a SPMS discounted rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
