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.

—What size should your book be?

—How do you set margins?

—Why does the text look weird when you upload it?

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

  • You’ve spent hours Googling formatting tutorials, downloading random templates, and watching confusing YouTube videos that leave you more lost than when you started.
  • You’ve opened and closed your book file more times than you can count—only to keep second-guessing whether it’s actually “right.”
