If so, you’re in the right place! In this post, I’ll go over everything you need to know about publishing a children’s book. That includes how to make a book for kids, how much it costs to publish a children’s book, and whether publishing a children’s book is profitable.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-block-type="core">What Is a Children’s Book?</h2> <p>Generally, anything intended to entertain or educate kids using illustrations and text fits the definition of a children’s book. To make your children’s book, you should start by thinking about your ideal audience.</p> <p>It’s too simple to aim for a broad appeal to all kinds of kids. Focus on a topic: maybe you’ll tell a story that simplifies mathematics, explains how planes fly, or teaches kids empathy. The goal of your story extends to define your audience: if you’re writing a math book, your audience is children who are struggling with math.</p> <div class="alignwide wp-block-ugb-container ugb-container ugb-8be1981 ugb-container--v2 ugb-container--design-plain ugb-main-block ugb--hide-tablet ugb--hide-mobile" data-block-type="core"><style>.ugb-8be1981-wrapper > .ugb-container__side{padding-top:35px !important;padding-bottom:35px !important}.ugb-8be1981-wrapper.ugb-container__wrapper{padding-top:0 !important;padding-bottom:0 !important}</style><div class="ugb-inner-block"><div class="ugb-block-content"><div class="ugb-container__wrapper ugb-8be1981-wrapper"><div class="ugb-container__side"><div class="ugb-container__content-wrapper ugb-8be1981-content-wrapper"> <div class="klaviyo-form-VGjbty"></div> </div></div></div></div></div></div> <div class="wp-block-ugb-container ugb-container ugb-6f8b560 ugb-container--v2 ugb-container--design-plain ugb-main-block ugb--hide-desktop"><style>.ugb-6f8b560-wrapper > .ugb-container__side{padding-top:35px !important;padding-bottom:35px !important}.ugb-6f8b560-wrapper.ugb-container__wrapper{padding-top:0 !important;padding-bottom:0 !important}</style><div class="ugb-inner-block"><div class="ugb-block-content"><div class="ugb-container__wrapper ugb-6f8b560-wrapper"><div class="ugb-container__side"><div class="ugb-container__content-wrapper ugb-6f8b560-content-wrapper"> <div class="klaviyo-form-RQ2psk"></div> </div></div></div></div></div></div> <p>When it comes to writing the book itself, it is time to get simple. Books for kids should be easy to understand and follow, with clear language and a compelling story. Avoid using complicated words or sentences. Your goal is to convey the story as simply as possible, with an emphasis on the illustrations.</p> <p>Children’s books can be targeted to specific age groups, like ‘toddlers’ and young readers. Generally, children’s books are for younger children. As kids get older and better at reading, middle-grade books feature more text, and storytelling elements are more appropriate. A middle-grade book will focus on helping older children hone their reading skills and build reading habits. Beyond middle grade, young adult stories are chapter books or novels targeted at teens.</p> <div class="alignwide wp-block-ugb-container ugb-container ugb-859e521 ugb-container--v2 ugb-container--design-basic ugb-main-block"><style>.ugb-859e521-wrapper.ugb-container__wrapper{padding-top:0 !important;padding-bottom:0 !important}.ugb-859e521-wrapper > .ugb-container__side{padding-top:35px !important;padding-bottom:35px !important}</style><div class="ugb-inner-block"><div class="ugb-block-content"><div class="ugb-container__wrapper ugb-859e521-wrapper"><div class="ugb-container__side"><div class="ugb-container__content-wrapper ugb-859e521-content-wrapper"> <div class="wp-block-ugb-feature ugb-feature ugb-0f9465a ugb-feature--v2 ugb-feature--design-plain ugb-main-block"><style>.ugb-0f9465a .ugb-feature__description{font-size:14px !important}.ugb-0f9465a .ugb-button{background-color:var(--stk-global-color-14764,#000083)}.ugb-0f9465a .ugb-button .ugb-button--inner,.ugb-0f9465a .ugb-button svg:not(.ugb-custom-icon){color:var(--stk-global-color-76670,#ffffff) !important}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-0f9465a .ugb-img{width:240px;height:auto !important}}</style><div class="ugb-inner-block"><div class="ugb-block-content"><div class="ugb-feature__item"><div class="ugb-feature__content"><h2 class="ugb-feature__title">Animals in the City</h2><p class="ugb-feature__description">Would you like to know what cats do during their nine lives?

If you don’t spark your readers’ interest and build a connection between your readers and your characters, your story will fall flat.</p> <p>And because your story won’t have the length or depth of a novel, the connection must be made quickly.

To make the story compelling, the text and the artwork must work together.</p> <p>Think about how the book will be read—is your children’s book aimed at kids who will read themselves? The text will need to be slightly bigger and you’ll need to pay added attention to the complexity of your words and sentences.</p> <p>Or are you aiming at a younger audience who will be read to by parents or teachers? Now you should make the text comfortable for an adult to read and place it so it’s not obstructing the image at all—parents need to be able to easily show their kids your illustrations! </p> <p>You need to make the illustrations informative and clear, coupled with easy-to-follow text. If you’re an artist, you may be able to create your own illustrations. If not, you may want to consider hiring an illustrator to help bring your vision to life.</p> <div class="alignwide wp-block-ugb-container ugb-container ugb-bb39932 ugb-container--v2 ugb-container--design-basic ugb-main-block"><style>.ugb-bb39932-wrapper.ugb-container__wrapper{padding-top:0 !important;padding-bottom:0 !important}.ugb-bb39932-wrapper > .ugb-container__side{padding-top:35px !important;padding-bottom:35px !important}</style><div class="ugb-inner-block"><div class="ugb-block-content"><div class="ugb-container__wrapper ugb-bb39932-wrapper"><div class="ugb-container__side"><div class="ugb-container__content-wrapper ugb-bb39932-content-wrapper"> <div class="wp-block-ugb-feature ugb-feature ugb-eb866ce ugb-feature--v2 ugb-feature--design-plain ugb-main-block"><style>.ugb-eb866ce .ugb-feature__description{font-size:14px !important}.ugb-eb866ce .ugb-button{background-color:var(--stk-global-color-14764,#000083)}.ugb-eb866ce .ugb-button .ugb-button--inner,.ugb-eb866ce .ugb-button svg:not(.ugb-custom-icon){color:var(--stk-global-color-76670,#ffffff) !important}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-eb866ce .ugb-img{width:240px;height:auto !important}}</style><div class="ugb-inner-block"><div class="ugb-block-content"><div class="ugb-feature__item"><div class="ugb-feature__content"><h2 class="ugb-feature__title">Maddie and the Virus</h2><p class="ugb-feature__description">Maddie is 8 years old and, like children worldwide, she has been navigating life during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Hiring an Illustrator can be very expensive. Page layout and <a href="https://blog.lulu.com/editing-costs-and-budget/">editing add more costs</a>. </p> <p>Don’t let that stop you though. There are some great resources out there. The <a href="https://www.scbwi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators</a> is a great place to learn more about creating children’s books and even offers an <a href="https://www.scbwi.org/illustrator-gallery/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Illustrator’s Gallery</a> to help find an illustrator for your book. The <a href="https://www.cbcbooks.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Children’s Book Council</a> offers more in the area of promotional assistance, but they also have a great <a href="https://www.cbcbooks.org/2014/02/21/authors-illustrators-join-kate-dicamillo-and-volunteer-for-indies-first-storytime-day-for-childrens-book-week/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">FAQ Section</a> for aspiring children’s book authors.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-block-type="core">Print-on-Demand for Your Children’s Book</h2> <p>And modern self-publishing platforms make it easier to publish a children’s book on your own. Once you’ve written the book, created the illustrations, and organized your pages you only need to upload your book’s files and start selling!</p> <p>As you’re preparing your children’s book for publishing, be sure to use any available <a href="https://www.lulu.com/pricing" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">templates or sizing guides</a>.
