”How to Format a Children’s Book for Self-Publishing should be required reading for anyone considering self-publishing ANY book, not just children’s books. Becky Bayne and Kayla Snyder have written a clear, concise, and easy to read primer on what is involved in publishing a book. Richly illustrated children’s books require special attention to developing the custom artwork, but the design and printing issues are relevant to any book.

When it comes to self-publishing your children’s book, it can feel like a million tiny details with no clear map.

And don’t even get us started on bleed, trim size, or page breaks…
