How To Make a Children's Book

Have you ever wondered how to make a children's book? Well this video shows you EVERY step I take to go from idea to finished product. I describe in detail how to plan your book, format your pages, and how to submit your PDF to the printer. Remember to like and subscribe for more author advice videos soon to come!

I just got to say how absolutely wonderful and helpful your videos are!!! You didn't know it (how could you lol) but with your help, I finally got my first book done and up on Amazon! We, (me- you and PhotoShop) burned some midnight oil and shed some tears. Well the tears were mine. LOL. Anyway-long story short, thank you! I'm finally a published author. And you truly don't know how helpfully your videos were in making this happen.

I have so many ideas for books my father died last year so im getting into making music which I already did and have out, now im trying to get into writing books as therapy for my soul and spirit to help me in my healing process of mourning grieving my father ;hopefully this will help out in moving on with my life.

You are so much fun to watch and a great teacher! I have been making fantasy photo digital art for years for children's theater, and selling prints to raise money for Make A Wish while raising my kids. Now im a retired grandma, back to painting by hand, and hoping to illustrate some children's books for my grandkids, and maybe do some more fundraising too. Thank you SO much for showing how to begin. VERY HELPFUL!

Those hats are hilarious. Your video is not only entertaining but uber helpful with the information that you share!

[wildwild_chicken]

Great information! It seems like we think alike in terms of the creative process in general so this should be an easy format to follow! The hats are also a fabulous touch! 😂

Thank you so much for making this video. I am watching it now and just had to stop the video to thank you. I am going right back to watching it. I have been trying all day to put the children's book I am trying to finish together, and I was literally going out of my mind until I saw your video. Very good points, and it has helped me. Thanks to you I don't have to call a psychiatrist.

Oh, my word after going through almost every Youtube video on here, I finally stumbled on yours and you managed to explain everything so simply- All the way from South Africa & wanted to thank you, you're a true ROCKSTAR!!!

I really enjoy your humor and good vibes. Although your videos are very educational and informative, it’s your samples that captivate me and make me want to get my hands on your books. I bet that stuff is funny af.

What! I’m so glad I came across your channel!! Super pumped to comb through your library of helpful videos like this one as I begin my children’s book illustrating journey! I’m so close to finishing my first book and this is going to be so helpful to have in my resource playlist! I’ve picked up some of your books in the library before with my boys and I never knew you did things like this for the public! So thanks for sharing your gift and talent with us 🫶
