A Must-Read for ANY Author!Publishing and designing a book-decoded!
While this book focuses on publishing children's books, nearly all the information applies to any type of book you're writing, making it a fantastic resource and truly a must-read for any author!
Becky has written a brilliant guide that breaks down each part of the publishing and design process-what it means, why you may or may not need it, and how to do it-making it accessible for the everyday writer. It even includes QR codes that link to helpful how-to videos.
From start to finish, this book covers everything you need to know about publishing. And thanks to Kayla's charming character, Snuffles, there's a touch of fun and whimsy throughout! If you're an author of any type of book, do yourself a favor and get this book!
