Hurrah! Indie Kids Books is Growing

We just reached 1000 subscribers!

Big Thank You! 1000!

Thank you for coming along on the journey of independently publishing children’s books! This blog is a labor of love and a way to give back to the community of writers and publishers, those of us who love children’s books. Reaching 1000 subscribers is amazing!

Please share the excitement of IndieKidsBooks.com!

That milestone has happened over the course of 97 blog posts—almost at a landmark 100. I’ve written about formatting, printing, and marketing of children’s books in detail. Everything is focused on helping you make decisions that will help you succeed in this crazy world.

As a thank-you I’d like to give each of you a free copy of my book, HOW TO WRITE A CHILDREN’S PICTURE BOOK. (Offer expires on 8/31/23, so HURRY! Limit 1000 downloads, so please do not share. Bookfunnel app required. )

Want to know even MORE about writing picture books? I’ll be co-teaching a Highlights Foundation retreat on August 23-26, Picture Book Writers and Illustrators: A Working Retreat. It’s not too late to sign up - but there are only 2 places left! Come join us!
