Wow Avy! You're so COOL!!! I am so excited!! This is the first video that really helped me clarifying all my doubts about using chatgpt for my books and illustrating them with midjourney.
One tip would to have chat GPT also create the text prompt for you. I have done this when I have created stories and it works quite well. Do it in the same window as your story so it has the knowledge to go back to and create the text prompt from. Love your videos. Always learn something new
Yes everything you put in is a text print. I was just referring to a prompt for mid journey for text to image. So once you finish writing the book in chat GPT at the end in the same window you can ask the chat to write a prompt to out in to mid journey to create the image. So an example would be “write a short promote to use in a text to image so tool to produce an image for this book.” You can be more specific based on your story or what you want the image to be. Not sure that makes it clear
I appreciated the way you approached the topic from a unique perspective, and the way you used humor and storytelling to help illustrate your points. Your delivery was engaging and dynamic, and the pacing was perfect. It's clear that you put a lot of thought and effort into creating this content, and the result is truly exceptional. Thank you for sharing your insights with us and for inspiring us to think more creatively.
I'm not even finished watching the video but I had to just pause and comment - "You are such a God sent." Thank Thank Thank so so much for such detailed step by step instructions. #SendingLoveFrom🇯🇲
Honestly if your thinking about writing a children’s book story and are in need of art it would be best if you just find an illustrator that can truly bring ur vision to life. Using a machine is only gonna leave you open to copyright infringement and inconsistencies.
@@PrettyJustJulieBella Just go for it sister, don't let the procrastination keep you from sharing your story and message with the world. Don't listen to these folks about image copyrights, if you create something unique it is yours. And let me tell you, I am excited because I just finished the second draft of my first children's book which took me 1 hour to create in ChatGPT. I edited it and added to it and it's all mine. Now to create those graphics and make it magical!! You will be so happy you did it, just go for it! And I will tell you one last thing - I have been toying with this idea for 20 years. Don't be like me, start when the inspiration hits you. Once you stumble upon the right idea, your spirit will know it's the one. I want to encourage you because that's what love is all about. :)
@toddmurat2673 Since you tagged the wrong person, I guess I'll respond, but no one told her not to go for it and accomplish her dreams. Im just recommending the best way to go about it so that she doesn't run into legal issues. Theres already articles about books being eemived from platforms because they used ai. Using a machine to create an image is not her creating it the machine did unless she decides to alter it. As a children's book illustrator myself, I'm never going to discourage someone from doing something in this space. i just want them to do it safely like i recommend to all my authors.
Thank you for the LOVE! I was reluctant to use these AI tools but I 100% agree with you. I am embracing technology and not allowing fear t stop me. I finished my book in Chat GPT and now I’m tinkering with Midjourney. I needed to read your message because my book has been “in my spirit” for several years and these AI tools are helping me to birth my book series. “The Worldwide Adventures of Q&A” coming to an online book retailer soon!! 🙏🏾
I create short form romance novels with chatgpt and several other ai softwares, and chatgpt does a phenominal job of generating images of each scene any way you want.... and creating detailed location descriptions or images of locations in each part of your story as well! love it.
Great video. Not sure if you know this but Canva also introduced Text to image option, results are pretty good too. And also beware potential copyright issues with AI art.
As an artist, this hurts. There's nothing wrong with trying faster ways to earn money. It's just that midjourney has fed billions of stolen artworks to their database, that they are covering up through legal loopholes. It's plagiarism in the end. Using those generated works for a quick buck is just...
Yes that is heartbreaking. One problem is that innocent users will have access to these but won't realize that they were someone else's original artworks. As an artist myself who has painted and sold my oil paintings, I personally would not use AI generated artwork just the way it pops up but would make changes to content, colors and elements. The inspiration from the original would remain but the finished product would be someone else's original. That probably doesn't help much but at this point there's not much remedy for overt plagiarism. I expect there will be court cases and new rules in the next year or so.
M a writer ..when i heard about chat GPT, I tried to take some story ideas from GPT.. and they were kind of flat ..like naah..they are not even ok.. and story generated by GPT.. GPT try to finish story directly in short with no twist turns .. coz its not human ..it can't put that emotions to the story 🙃 while the idea of making consistent character images with different backgrounds and putting that and other character actions in different images.. that's am working on, it is happening day by day getting ideas.. but not properly.. if this will done so I will make a comic book with my story 😊
It's funny to me how you obviously don't know how to use chatGPT. It can very well do everything you want it to. And while it is void of the same understanding and emotions that would make a story good, if you know how to use it, you can get anything you want. Though, for being a writer, your entire post was a mess...
Thank you for your kind message! Regarding you question on consistent character creation I actually created a video for it previously- feel free to check it out here: th-cam.com/video/zdSIPkbvsek/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps!
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video! :) Feel free to check out my latest video on creating consistent characters with Chat GPT-4 - by far the easiest method I have encountered :) th-cam.com/video/dXv8csfZN3w/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for your comment! I talk a lot the topic of creating consistent characters in my latest video: th-cam.com/video/zdSIPkbvsek/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps! :)
You can use it for paperback or ebook, but do make sure you are using the paid version of midjourney if you plan on using the ai images for commercial purposes. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the comment - feel free to check out my other video here on creating consistent characters: th-cam.com/video/zdSIPkbvsek/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps!
How would you create multiple scenes with the same character?? So that it doesn't create several different central characters. Essentially, how would you ask it to create a "cast of consistent characters" and then place those characters in different scenes.
Great video, I joined Discord, subscribed to Midjourney, and created my first image. I hope I can figure out how to make multiple pictures using the same character.
Hi Ivy just subscribed. I found your videos very helpful. But I have a problem. I want to make children's ebooks with ai images. Will there will be any copyright issue for using the ai image.??? Please reply 🙏
Thank you for your support- I’m glad you enjoyed my videos! Mid journey currently allowed you to use your ai generated images for commercial purposes if you are using the paid version :)
@@ivyhang5084 Thank you so much for replying. But I am not going to use midjourney . I am going to use Leonard for making ai images. This is free and allows to download the image. But the main problem is will I get a copyright issue for using these ai images??? Please help.
Is this something you actually do using your KDP account??? Or are you waiting it out for KDP to give an official statement regarding AI generated books?
For a similar project as what is shown in this video, the basic plan would be sufficient. However, if you plan on generating many graphics / pages, then you might want to consider a higher plan.
hello, in discord you can create a server only for you and add the midjourney bot to your server. in this way you dont have the other members spam, just your requests, it easier to keep track of your work. big up ;)
I've been work I g with Chat got since it came public. I also wanted children's book I spucufi ally typed in many of the same requirement ...I did this several times foediffernt boom ideas and it pretty much gave me the same type of story for all of them. Not much difference in the story lines. It's good for ideas ,but doesn't replace the human imagination.
Amigo tengo una duda dicen que si usas inteligencia artificial al crear libros podrían cerrar tu cuenta de kdp mi pregunta seria o correríamos el mismo riesgo al hacer un cuento o algo parecido como tu video ya qué tengo miedo que pudiera pasar esto me tarde mucho en hacer mis imágenes todo listo pero ya no se si crear mi libro o no por el miedo busque formas de que no lo detecten pero sigue apareciendo qué es creado por inteligencia artificial
Ivy thank you for this video. I have a few short stories I want to use to write my book but I was stuck on illustrating. I really like the idea of a book of short stories with only one picture per story versus a book full of pictures with little wording. Can AI take my real photo and turn it into a illustration I can use?
You can create it using canva or Microsoft word and then convert to pdf. Just make sure to have the right margins- feel free to check out my step by step video here on setting up margins etc for kdp :) th-cam.com/video/xfzQwBb8m9U/w-d-xo.html
You can find the links to the websites in my video description section. Chat gpt is free and mid journey has a free version as well but if you plan on using for commercial purposes then you would need a paid account (around $10/month). Hope this helps!
Whether you edit the output from the AI is entirely up to you :) For me personally though, I would definitely edit and really just leverage any of the content generated from AI just as a starting point or for purposes of idea generation. This video was more to show what is possible using AI, but it is always good to add your personal touch to your stories. You can sell them on any platform you prefer, but Amazon KDP is the most common one that many people leverage.
I would recommend at minimum 24 pages as that is the minimum page count required by amazon for paperback books. Feel free to check out the amazon kdp link here for details:kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G201857950 hope this helps!
@@ivyhang5084 Can you please tell us how to create book on canva step by step because i dont understand that how you create your book on canva. also tell us what requirements of book publishing on KDP. I mean page setting etc....and where we can get details. Thanks
So can I download this book and find a publisher or can it only be sold on Amazon? Second what if I have actual people in my life that I want to upload for the characters and make them into cartoons for the books. Last, can AI help with writing an actual book with different volumes?
You can definitely do all of the above. You can use a publisher to print for you, Amazon KDP is just an alternate option which doesn't require you to find a publisher. Midjourney will allow you to upload photos and turn them into cartoons and Chat GPT can definitely help with writing the content, although I highly recommend you just use it as a starting point only but still update the content with your own words so it is more unique and truly your own story :)
Thanks for your message. If you are a beginner feel free to watch my step by step tutorial for kdp where I will go through in detail all the basics including book sizes and margins etc. th-cam.com/video/xfzQwBb8m9U/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps!
Thanks for your comment! - Im definitely overdue for a number of videos including an update on this. I have a few videos to in plan to get through but will definitely be adding this to the list :)
People who say they’ve always wanted to be a writer or just an “artist” and now they can with these tools are kidding themselves, they don’t know what it means to be an artist nor are they one, they have ai generate their derivative ideas for them then they edit them down for a quick buck. You don’t write for money, you don’t write for speed, you write because you love it, it’s what you’re meant to do. You aren’t a writer and anyone who “generates” their book isn’t one either, they are idea men plain and simple
I think most people are aware they are not and will never be writers or artists they just want to make money in this ever crazy expensive world. AI will put many people out of a job let people at least try while they still can to get something out of this.
Hi Ivy - 88 YO KID who's just about to get his feet wet with writing Children Books. I don't know if this webinar is the place to Start as I listened to both this and your KDP Journal BUT feel there's something missing between the two, since I don't understand the measurement of inner covers, outer covers etc. I already belong to CHAT & Canva. ANY help for this OLD GUY who would really like to master this would be greatly appreciated, - Stan Simon
These 2 links will definitely help you with setting up your cover template and figuring out your margins depending on the size of your children's book: Amazon KDP Help Page on Trim Size, Bleed & Margins: kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/GVBQ3CMEQW3W2VL6 Amazon Cover Calculator: kdp.amazon.com/cover-calculator
There is only talk about making cartoons for children. Why is there no mention of writing the cover page and how the ending should conclude? I would like to see this section taught as well. What should a good cover page be? What should a cover page for children be like? What age range should it be?
Feel free to check out my other video here with step by step on how to create a children's book - th-cam.com/video/ApF7g8leh7M/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps! :)
It’s hard to say how Amazon kdp requirements will evolve in the future given how new some of these ai tools are for now. However, that’s also why I recommend not just taking the ai output as is but rather treat it as a first draft and try to augment with your own creative ideas :)
If this is your first time trying to publish a book then I highly recommend watching my low content publishing tutorial first -th-cam.com/video/xfzQwBb8m9U/w-d-xo.html hope this helps!:)
Chatgpt always wants to use the name "Lily"! I am not sure why but that is concerning. I did this project before watching this video and it wrote some stories for me using the name Lily. Also, it came after a series of mistakes that chatgpt was making.

Whether you edit the output from the AI is entirely up to you :) For me personally though, I would definitely edit and really just leverage any of the content generated from AI just as a starting point or for purposes of idea generation. This video was more to show what is possible using AI, but it is always good to add your personal touch to your stories. You can sell them on any platform you prefer, but Amazon KDP is the most common one that many people leverage.
@@ivyhang5084 thank you…
is there any other tool instead of MidJourney...?it is very costly to take subscription for me right now.
Blue Willow free alternative
But now the real challenge, getting consistent images that match :)
Stay tuned- looking to post a video on this later this week :)
Check out my new video on this topic! - th-cam.com/video/zdSIPkbvsek/w-d-xo.html
24 pages it's minimum count of pages for publication book in amazon, right?
Yup that’s right!
The images are never the same people. How do I fix that
Check out my new video on this topic! - th-cam.com/video/zdSIPkbvsek/w-d-xo.html
How many pages do you recommend this book?
I would recommend at minimum 24 pages as that is the minimum page count required by amazon for paperback books. Feel free to check out the amazon kdp link here for details:kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G201857950 hope this helps!
What about getting cartoon type picture's from midjourney? it's more cgi created images, looking to make it more cartoonish. thanks
You can add “childrens story book illustration style” as part of your prompt and that should do the trick :) you can also upload a reference image.
@@ivyhang5084 Thank you!
very nice
Thanks for your kind words!
@@ivyhang5084 Can you please tell us how to create book on canva step by step because i dont understand that how you create your book on canva. also tell us what requirements of book publishing on KDP. I mean page setting etc....and where we can get details.
Thanks
Where i can sell it?
You can try Amazon kdp :)
Even if a plagiarism checker sees there is no plagiarism, doesn’t Amazon still check if it is made by AI like chatgpt?
So can I download this book and find a publisher or can it only be sold on Amazon? Second what if I have actual people in my life that I want to upload for the characters and make them into cartoons for the books. Last, can AI help with writing an actual book with different volumes?
You can definitely do all of the above. You can use a publisher to print for you, Amazon KDP is just an alternate option which doesn't require you to find a publisher. Midjourney will allow you to upload photos and turn them into cartoons and Chat GPT can definitely help with writing the content, although I highly recommend you just use it as a starting point only but still update the content with your own words so it is more unique and truly your own story :)
What format size do you use for the childrens book?
You can do any size you wish but 8.5 x 8.5 is a common option.
Please, do you have a video tutorial how to promote children's books on amazon?
Don't have one specifically on that yet, but thanks for the suggestion - will look to publish a video on that eventually :)
Is there a way to ensure the artistic style of illustrations match across each page?
Yes you can copy & input the image link on the next prompt
wait I have one question if anyone can help to answer. How would i use midjourney to keep the images of the character consistent?
I’ll be posting a video on this topic later this week- stay tuned :)

Hope this helps!
Using the discord method, what if i wanted to create multiple illustrations of the same story? Is there a way to do that on Discord?
Feel free to check out my other video here on creating consistent characters on Midjourney :) th-cam.com/video/zdSIPkbvsek/w-d-xo.html
its been long please do share your income report video too
Thanks for your comment! - Im definitely overdue for a number of videos including an update on this. I have a few videos to in plan to get through but will definitely be adding this to the list :)
@@ivyhang5084 alright !
This is amazing! So much can be done with AI.
Thanks for your comment!
People who say they’ve always wanted to be a writer or just an “artist” and now they can with these tools are kidding themselves, they don’t know what it means to be an artist nor are they one, they have ai generate their derivative ideas for them then they edit them down for a quick buck.
You don’t write for money, you don’t write for speed, you write because you love it, it’s what you’re meant to do. You aren’t a writer and anyone who “generates” their book isn’t one either, they are idea men plain and simple
I think most people are aware they are not and will never be writers or artists they just want to make money in this ever crazy expensive world. AI will put many people out of a job let people at least try while they still can to get something out of this.
Really good info
Glad it was helpful!
The best books come from the heart, not some money making routine. Kids deserve better
Have you actually read some of the trash human written out there for kids... lol
Hi Ivy - 88 YO KID who's just about to get his feet wet with writing Children Books. I don't know if this webinar is the place to Start as I listened to both this and your KDP Journal BUT feel there's something missing between the two, since I don't understand the measurement of inner covers, outer covers etc. I already belong to CHAT & Canva. ANY help for this OLD GUY who would really like to master this would be greatly appreciated, - Stan Simon
These 2 links will definitely help you with setting up your cover template and figuring out your margins depending on the size of your children's book:
Amazon KDP Help Page on Trim Size, Bleed & Margins: kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/GVBQ3CMEQW3W2VL6
Amazon Cover Calculator: kdp.amazon.com/cover-calculator
🤗Check out my latest video on:
"How to Create Consistent Characters in Midjourney" - th-cam.com/video/zdSIPkbvsek/w-d-xo.html
There is only talk about making cartoons for children. Why is there no mention of writing the cover page and how the ending should conclude? I would like to see this section taught as well. What should a good cover page be? What should a cover page for children be like? What age range should it be?
Feel free to check out my other video here with step by step on how to create a children's book - th-cam.com/video/ApF7g8leh7M/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps! :)
Many tool released to detect chat gpt ai writing, isn't there is risk of Amazon kdp can make trouble infuture fir writing story by ai?
It’s hard to say how Amazon kdp requirements will evolve in the future given how new some of these ai tools are for now. However, that’s also why I recommend not just taking the ai output as is but rather treat it as a first draft and try to augment with your own creative ideas :)
You could also use AI Rephrase tools to rephrase sentences.
how do you make the story template?
If this is your first time trying to publish a book then I highly recommend watching my low content publishing tutorial first -th-cam.com/video/xfzQwBb8m9U/w-d-xo.html hope this helps!:)
Chatgpt always wants to use the name "Lily"! I am not sure why but that is concerning. I did this project before watching this video and it wrote some stories for me using the name Lily. Also, it came after a series of mistakes that chatgpt was making.
can i use leonardo ai instead of midjourney?
Yes you certainly can :)
