Why are you waiting? Let's do this! ------------------------ This book DOES NOT COVER publishing eBooks or using Kindle Create. ----------------------- "How to Self-Publish a Children's Paperback Picture Book" focuses on publishing a physical paperback picture book that can be shipped directly from Amazon.com (internationally distributed), held in one's hands, given to friends, or sold by the author at events. Published books will sell on Amazon.com to the general public and can be ordered in quantities of one or more for author resale. This process also works for writers who want to affordably publish and distribute physical books with more pages such as a memoir, instruction manual, puzzle & game book, graphic comic book, coloring book, cookbook, end-of-year school highlights, yearbook, or a multi-page novel with no pictures at all, even if the book gets distributed to a limited number of people. For set up, the author is a novice at using Publisher and Word to format PDFs for uploading and wanted to share her publishing experience. If she can do it, you can do it. She distributes hundreds of books during author visits to schools. Other writers have found publishing success using similar writing and multimedia programs they are familiar with, such as Scrivener (for screenplays and large amounts of text), or those in the Adobe family. ---------------------- Related terms and phrases: Publishing a book, How to publish a book, Self-publishing, How to self-publish, How to publish on Amazon, How to publish using Amazon KDP, How to write a picture book, How to write a children's book, How to publish a paperback book, Elementary school author visit, Middle school author visit, High school author visit, Author visits in Long Beach, CA, Author visits in the Los Angeles area
