Join #1 bestselling, award-winning children’s author Sheri Fink for the ALC’s first multi-part webinar series on writing, illustrating, publishing, marketing, and branding for children’s books.
In the first part of this series, Sheri will discuss how you can go from simply having an idea, to believing in that idea and taking the next step of starting your book. She’ll offer tips on how to focus your narrative and how to stay motivated and encouraged throughout the writing process. Sheri will also cover all aspects of the illustration process including how to find, vet, and hire an illustrator, along with the author-illustrator relationship and how to pull all of the different elements together to get ready for publishing.
Once the writing is done, what’s next? In the second part of this series, Sheri will review the differences between traditional, independent, and hybrid publishing, along with the advantages and disadvantages of each path. She’ll share her own experiences with independent publishing and offer tips on setting your book price, choosing your book format, and deciding which distribution channels to pursue.
