    Loved this video! I just launched my 3rd book and you gave me the answer I need to really make a splash… my launches aren’t great. Thank you!

    I've watched this video a few times now. Whenever I lose focus and stray from my path to becoming a childrens author, this seems to inspire and realign my priorities. Thank you so much!

    I’m about to self-publish a series of children’s books. I am the author and the illustrator, and since I am also a musician the audio book will have musical background (of course). I am working on a song to sing to kids on the book presentations with my fellow musicians. I love the whole process and the world I am in while I work on those stories. Thank you for this inspiring video, your down-to-earth approach to the business side of the process is fantastic and very useful. I’d love the books to sell to keep the door to writing as a profession open for me.

    I wrote one about my 2 grandnieces as mermaids and had it locally published, but that was very expensive. I did the artwork too, but my art skills are very elementary. The girls loved it fortunately! I am working on one now for two boys who love soccer. I am trying to learn about self publishing on Amazon now so I can get this one printed much more cheaply. Thank you for the encouragement. I have to overcome such doubts, but it would make my world if I can get it done.

    Will you make a video diving into the details of your first successful book release. What exactly did you do? What platforms did you use to advertise and push your book out there? What did the emails you sent out look like. Roughly how much did you spend

      There isn't one "right" or "wrong" format but you want it to be clean, and there are industry expectations. Check out our video on Art Notes for more info!
