Indie Publishing a Children's Book, Step #6

Maintenance, Ongoing Marketing

In November, 2024, I started this series, Indie Publishing a Children’s Book, to chronicle the steps in publishing a nonfiction children’s book, NOT EXTINCT: The Przewalski’s Horse Returns from Extinct in the Wild. For paid subscribers, I’ve gone through the process from idea to layout and design, metadata, copyediting, uploading, and preorders. This final report will chronicle some of the high points and the low points.

For paid subscribers, this last post will wrap up the stage of being on the front list. It moves to the backlist sometimes soon, depending on how you define front list and back list. Basically, it was published in 2025, so my attention is turning to launching 2026 and 2027 titles. Come and see what worked and what didn’t.
