How to pick the best self-publishing route

So, you’ve written a children’s book but what now?

How do you decide which service to publish with?

I think it really depends on your target audience. More than cost and convenience needs to be considered. Where do you want to market your book? What age is your book for? Will it sell better in e-format or hardback? Do you want to see it in libraries or schools? What size will it be? Those are just a few.

A great side-by-side comparison for picture books print on demand costs and convenience is addressed in the following post.Ā What Print on Demand service is best for your self-published pictureĀ book? By Dayen Sislen

Her post explains the costs and services of three print-on-demand routes you can take.Ā  . For my easy reader I went with just Createspace, butĀ for my two picture books, I used Ingram Sparks and Createspace.

Have you published a picture book? Which did you use?

Do you only publish e-books? Why?

  1. It’s very confusing, Jean – People are still talking about CreateSpace, however, it looks like Amazon are replacing it with Kindle Direct Print – so I don’t know how that will work out.
