Yes, lots of times. A good topic for a video - I'll add it to the list. In the UK, I used the Writer's and Artist's yearbook to research the best publishers to send it to. Try searching online for publishers which do your age range and genre. They will usually get back in touch within 3 months and give you a bit of feedback (or, hopefully, sign you on the spot!) Hope that helps.
Fantastic video! Thank you so much for all the wonderful information! I have written my first children’s book, I hired an editor, and I’m nearly done with the book dummy (thanks to your great book dummy video 😊)! I have started promoting my book on social media! But I am actually working on a completely separate book now, in addition to the first one! And it’s going beautifully! I have a question: is it advisable to begin to promote my second book, before my first is even published? Or is it better to wait until after my first one is published? Does that make sense? Thank you so much and I hope you have a blessed day!!
I would wait - just because it will be confusing for your readers. You could do some snippet teasers though - 'what I'm working on next' kind of thing. But yes, I'd focus on #1 atm.
Have you spoken about or have a video about quality of printing? I'm not sure I like the idea of a book made on a digital printer or color copier? I would rather have it printed on a press but I know they require you print a large amount of books. Just curious what you think and if you have have been happy with the quality of the final printed books? 🤮Sorry! I blah blah run-on and on!
I have mine digitally printed on really good paper, it makes a huge difference. In fact, it's hard to tell that it's not printed on a press. I definitely wouldn't print on a copier though.
Boy, am I glad I reviewed this hint video on what to do first before going to market. I sure hope I don’t find anything else to edit.
Great tips! I like the fact you went beyond the KDP marketing
Your videos are so encouraging and helpful! Thank you for generously sharing!
This is awesome 👍
Thank you!
Fantastic video! As a new author there is a wealth of great information here, can't wait to check out more of your videos.
Thanks Mark :)
Thank you for your help!
Glad it helped!
Have you ever written a manuscript draft to send your book to a publisher? I am unsure where to start.

Jules Marriner, thank you so much! I would love to see a video about this! ❤️
