8 Easy-to-follow Steps to Self-Publish Your Children’s Book

#1 Research

The first step you have to do when it comes to self-publish a children’s book is to do research on the topic you’re going to write. Even if you’re writing a fiction story, there must be some actual fact that happens in the story. For example, if you’re writing a fiction story about a rabbit, you need to put some actual facts about a rabbit’s behavior, how they eat, how they jump, how they survive, and so on.

The other research you have to do is who you are writing for, how old your readers are going to be, the reader’s interest, genre, or even what language you are going to write in. These researches will be beneficial for you to do the planning and come up with great marketing strategies. You can also research children’s book topics that haven’t been written much before. Or just write from your concerns that you wanted children to know and learn from it. For instance, if you’re concern about the environment nowadays, you could write about it in an interesting way and make children know and understand how important it is to put rubbish in its place and save the environment.

Also, you need to do some research about the illustration styles that are available out there for children’s books. Whether it is whimsical, cartoon, realistic, stylized, or sketches. You can also use your favorite children’s book and use that as the reference for the illustrations in the book.
