Find Success Self-Publishing Children’s Books

Links to podcasts and guest blogs - keep learning!

This is a big week because I've launched a Kickstarter campaign for my forthcoming book, PUBLISH: Find Surprising Success Self-Publishing Your Children's Books! I’m doing a lot around the internet instead of here—but still teaching and talking about how this works.

NOTE: Kickstarter is not a charity-ask like GoFundMe. Instead, on Kickstarter, you always receive something, a book, in this case.

Here are some articles and podcasts, I’ve done this week.

1) Podcast interview: The Creative Penn, Writing, Self-Publishing and Marketing. Such a delight to talk with the amazing Joanna Penn. (You’ll get to hear my voice!)

2) Lulu Blog article: Maximizing Self‑Published Children’s Books Sales: A Guide to Direct Sales for Indie Authors I use Lulu POD as the backend of my Shopify store.

3) Podcast interview on Kirsten Williams Larson's Nonfiction Kidlit Craft Conversations. Such a great conversation with Kirsten. I highly recommend her book on writing nonfiction for kids, Reimagining Your Nonfiction Picture Book.

4) Coming on September 27: Write2Ignite Master Class in Self-Publishing Children's Books. If you really want to dig into self-publishing, this is the class! They will record the presentations, but really—you’ll want to be there all day.

If you are a paid subscriber here, you will automatically receive an ebook of PUBLISH in about November. However, the Kickstarter has paperback books, and a collection of other writing books. Please check it out here. I SO appreciate your support! I make the mistakes so you don’t have to!

The Kickstarter’s goal was modest, only $500. It went over that the first day, and as I write this, it’s about $1750. I’d love to see that over $2000 by the end of the weekend. Please pass this along to your writer friends.
