You prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Deangelo Levi Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Hi Jules the pdfs for what offered for free I thank you so so much. Im feeling a little lost with my story. Not really happy with my characters. Or maybe being a perfectionate
I absolutely love your videos, thank you ❤️ I’ve been wanting to write children’s books since I was 5 years old and now I’m even thinking of studying in early childhood education. I am and always have been passionate about making a positive impact in kids lives so I hope I’m able to do that though my stories and maybe teaching one day😊
This was brilliant, thank you Jules! I have written a children's book, it's on a scrap of paper but you have broken the process down really well here and I feel like I can actually do something with it. I'm off to check out the rest of your channel... x
This is such good advice, thank you for making this video! I'm an aspiring children's author/illustrator and have some books on amazon. It's such a big marketplace to navigate
Hi Jules, I have an idea about a series and would love advice on how to illustrate the characters in the book consistently. I don't have a degree in illustration, but I have a BFA in fashion design. Could you please share how to develop, create, illustrate characters consistently through the book and series? Thank you!
Oh that's funny - I started off in Fashion Design! You need to do some character studies, and think about what they look like from different angles, or different clothes, or different expressions. Are you working in fashion now?
If you want to give custom books to your kids, look for *personalised childrens books* this functions similarly to this, but they're educational books for kids, w/ tailor made labels, cover design and switched out character names
This is an excellent guide to getting started with self-publishing children's books. As a copyeditor and proofreader who is just starting out in the business, I was a little surprised at the cost you listed for editing (60 GBP/$78 USD). Is this what you pay for a copyeditor and proofreader, or do you also work with a developmental editor?
That was what I was charged for one of the books I worked on. I know that is a rock bottom price, and mostly you'd expect to pay more, but I was just trying to give an idea of my own experience. Good luck with your new business - and I'm glad you liked the video.
How can i find the best illustrator for my idea for a childrens book? Do you have a listing of your prices as i love your illustrations! Thanks for all you do your a fabulous inspiration 💜 thanks Jules
Hi Wendy, you could check out this video on how to find an illustrator. Otherwise, if you want to email me on julesmarriner@hotmail.co.uk we can discuss what you are looking for. th-cam.com/video/CKwD1kp8QHw/w-d-xo.html
Hi Jules I have written a children's book age 5 to 10 that may strongly appeal to parents too. It's a majical yet true story with an eco message. It's been beautifully illustrated (is about 1.500 words with ten illustrations?. I simply want to sell it locally in the city in which I live so am not sure about quantities - maybe 300. Basically looking for a publisher who isn't going to charge me the earth. But where do I look? Also how much it is to urchase an ISBN? £16.40? Who do I apply to? Any help very much appreciated. Suzan
Hi Suzan - you could consider publishing it on Amazon (KDP - Kindle Direct Publishing) but with your own ISBN. Or, you could have a free ISBN, and buy some author copies from KDP - that means they sell them at cost price to you. If you are going to sell them yourself, and not through another shop, it doesn't matter about the ISBN. If you want to buy one, do a google search for ISBNs in your country, and you should be able to find out the cost. If you still have problems, get back to me and let me know what country you're in, and I'll try and find out for you. Good luck Jules :)
Hi Jody, I made a seaside video last year, here is the link: th-cam.com/video/9PAJB3bZbbE/w-d-xo.html ...but that's a great idea. I'll do a video just on sea creatures. 🐬🐚🐠
Hi Amanie- that’s a great topic for a video. I definitely have times where I feel like I’m in the desert, or I have an idea but it won’t form properly. I think it’s a question of relaxing and not forcing. It will come if it’s meant to.
I did find some interesting points in your video but I think you overlooked something BIG!! Which is copyright it’s true that technically when you put up a book it’s copyright to you instantly but if you get your own individual copyright when it’s stolen it become so much easier to defend. And I do say when it stolen because anything put online now will get stolen eventually by some one and some sites will not pay you for anything sold from your account until you clear it up if they pay you at all so clearing it up as fast as possible is ideal. So why don’t you mention anything about copyright?
I just put the story I’ve had in my head for the last 3 years to paper thanks to your channel. Thank you!
Wonderful!
I really like this video. I’m publishing next year. Can’t wait
Good luck - it's fun isn't it? 😊
Love your energy and your knowledge. ❤❤❤🎉🎉😊😊😊lots of succes.
Love your ideas! I've self published two childrens books & so happy!
Fantastic! Well done. How are your sales going?
@@JulesMarriner not where I want them right now but I believe they will increase one day...i'm working step by step to market them the best way I can!

Thank you for all of this valuable info! Do you have any suggestions for how to go about finding a proof reader?
You could ask on Facebook if there is anyone local so you can go and have a face to face chat. Otherwise, look at author forums for recommendations.
Do you have a video about where to get the book printed? So I can keep them in a warehouse and package myself if people buy on my website

Great advice here!
Glad it was helpful! What do you do with ink?

hi Jules! have you ever experienced a moment when you felt unmotivated to write? how did overcome that?

So why don’t you mention anything about copyright?
Good point- I’ve made a separate video on copyright.
3:00 ayo is it raining inside your house? xD
