- Shape the story. Decide the age group, the lesson or theme and the length. Picture books are short, so every word counts.
- Plan the pages. Divide the story into spreads so the text and art work together.
- Illustrate. Characters need a consistent look on every page. See our children's book illustration.
- Lay out and format. Text placement, fonts and print size matter for young readers.
- Print and publish. Choose paperback, hardcover or both, and prepare for distribution.
Still working on the text? Our story book writing and rhyme book writing teams can help, and our story book editing will polish it. Faith-based stories can also use our Christian book publishing support.
