Advice for self publishing

10


10 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Jan 20, 2017

I specifically have information on children's books. I couldn't create a longer title to specify so I'm being more specific here. I can give you a e-booklet/ PDF of information that I wrote on my experience self-publishing my 3 books, as well as information on all the research we did that led up to our decision and alternatives. The booklet contains 5 chapters that help detail preparing your book for publication, how to choose whether you want to self publish or not, the pros and cons of each, how to find an illustrator, and how to market the book.

Training & Qualifications


I am a self published author of three picture books. I’ve been reviewed by story monsters ink, I won an award for my first children's book back in November 2016, and my illustrations are in the 29th annual children’s illustration show in the Bay Area in California.

Availability & Preferences


open! We can skype, or call, or you can simply read my PDF.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Amy Altstatt

I'm a teacher, writer, and illustrator living in Sacramento with my husband and daughter. I just self-published my first three children's books, entitled "Completely Rainbow", “The King’s Beloved Colo...rs”, and “Boswell Foxington & The Secret of the Stars”- all of which can be ordered from your local bookstore or on amazon. My first title won a Royal Dragonfly book Award in 2016. In addition to these titles, I have co-written two titles with my husband which remain unpublished. I am currently working on developing different styles and mastering a certain style for my fourth book. I have a Master’s in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from University of Southern California, and I’ve taught people from over 12 languages backgrounds ranging from 5 years to 82 years of age. I taught in China for a couple years as well. I love all people, all ages. Because I was a teacher and have a Master’s in TESOL, I am also an exceptional editor! My husband and I are both artists and adventurers exploring and finding inspiration one continent at a time. show more
