How to Bring Your Creative Book Idea to Life

Posted in Books

I talk to a lot of people that have dreams of writing a book, but that’s where the dream ends, because they don’t feel like pitching publishers, but also find the steps to figure out how to self-publish overwhelming. That was me. Until, I committed to figuring it out, and now 10 books later, I’m here to share the steps with you.

Yesterday, I shared about the process of determining what illustrations you want to add, so if you have words on a page, but still, need images, check out that post first, and then come back. And, since a lot of teachers read this site, even if YOU don’t have dreams of publishing a book, this is a great way to teach your students about writing, interpreting words into images, and career options.

Let’s get started.
