Thanks so much for watching! Let me know in the comments if you have any questions regarding how to write a children’s book. And if you’re planning to write a childrens’ book, let me know! I can’t wait to cheer you on!
Yes I have begun writing my first children’s picture book. It has been a goal of mine for years and years. I’m on my third rewrite and am having trouble with the ending.
Eevi, this video was invaluable for me from start to finish. As I begin my marketing journey after releasing my book, I am sure your convincing conviction on the importance of mindset will prove to be the silver bullet. Thank you so much!
Great video! Yes, my 16-year-old daughter is planning to publish her first book soon. She has her manuscript ready and working with an illustrator. She is also reading your book to get more info. on this process.
That is so wonderful to hear! I just love that your 16-year-old daughter is about to publish her very first book and am so grateful she is reading my book to support her. Please let me know how it goes, RM!!
Hi there! You can do so by simply creating a physical book dummy, or you can use Google docs. If you are asking how I format my interior pages, I use my templates. I went ahead and shared them below, if you'd like to take a look - www.eevijones.com/childrens-book-layout-template/
Hi Eevi. I discovered this video by accident. I already have your book and although I haven't read it yet it's on my list to read. I am on my second or is it third draft of my 📖 having sent it to an editor and I'm sure that your guidance will be very useful.
I'm so glad to hear you're working on you very own children's book, John! Hopefully you find my book helpful, especially during the illustration process. Good luck, John!!
Thanks, Eevi for these tips. I have purchased your book and I am looking forward to reading it. Looking forward to learning all I can on this journey of becoming a Children's Picture Book author.
I have a question: After my son finishes reading me a book, we turn off the light and i tell him stories. Sometimes non-fiction stories from my childhood, sometimes i make up stories! He like those a lot,asking me for "fiction" I spontaneously made up a story recently. I made it up as i went. Up until that moment,i had no idea what that night would bring. The story was about a lonely crocodile. I even loved it. The very next morning i digged it. And found a book about the lonely crocodile called Salty. How could I have avoided plagiarism of i were not to see Salty come up on my research a d published a book almost identical? What are your tips? How do you handle that as there are millions of books out there? Thanks in advance!
Hi Gokhan! Thanks so much for your comment! Most story lines have been used over and over again. There aren't too many truly original stories out there any longer. So even though your story might have been similar to someone else's, that doesn't mean people will assume you've plagiarized others' work. I hope this helps, Gokhan! I love that you've been making up stories for your little one!
Thank you for showing us this, it is quite mind blowing trying to format a book. I’m ready to pull my hair out. I have my story and illustrations on pdf - but don’t know how to make a cover for my book. It’s a childrens book. And I don’t know how to load it.. does a childrens book have to be done on Kdp kids create or can it be done on Kdp?? I just don’t understand.. aggggghh
You're so welcome! To make your cover, please feel free to use my Illustration Template Generating tool (www.eevijones.com/illustration-template-generator/) to help you with the sizing. I use the KDP Kids' Creator Tool to format my ebook as well, so that would be a great tool.
not every story has to have a message behind it...there's nothing wrong with just writing a good story if the reader finds a message somewhere in there, that's all good, but not every story has to have a message or lesson in it.
Looking for great books to give to kids while young? try educational books, not just your regular ones but the custom ones such as *personalised childrens books* - you theme this right w/ the correct labels, cover design and names to leave a greater impact to young book lovers

Hi Evie, How do you layout inside pages so you can see the right and left page spread?
Hi there! You can do so by simply creating a physical book dummy, or you can use Google docs. If you are asking how I format my interior pages, I use my templates. I went ahead and shared them below, if you'd like to take a look - www.eevijones.com/childrens-book-layout-template/

I was wondering if you manage to complete your book?!

Correct, Robert. See minute marker 1:18.
