Wow, where does one start. Writing and Publishing is such a large, expansive topic, two individual topics really. Recently in a marketing meeting, discussing how to market my small business, Wood Lily Publishers, the marketer suggested articles relating to the business of selling children’s books. However as an author and publisher, my love of sharing information on these topics won out.
I’ve been asked by so many people, “How do I start writing that book I’ve always wanted to write?”, or “I’ve written a children’s book, how do I publish it?” or “I’ve written and published a book, now how do I market it?” I’d like to answer some of those questions with this blog. Writing, publishing, and marketing of books, especially children’s books is not an easy task. Throw into the mix: who is your audience; do you want a traditional publisher; or to self publish; where are you going to market- bookstores, or niche markets, and you end up with a whole lot of questions.
Baby steps is what the marketer suggested, so here is where we’ll start, with baby steps, explaining and discussing this whole topic of writing and publishing. Welcome to our journey.
