When new and aspiring picture book authors are working on their stories, their focus often centres on the creative process and the excitement of bringing their ideas to life for young, eager readers.
Many new authors aren’t fully aware of the various stages involved in the publication process, especially how long it can take to create professional illustrations and make the numerous decisions needed as they move toward publication.
This is why I decided to create my Navigating the Timeline of Writing and Self-Publishing a Children's Picture Book article. I hope you find it helpful.
