The biggest obstacle self-publishers face today is industry bias.
Buyers, bookstores, and librarians hesitate to want to stock or purchase self-published books because . . .
👉 a lot of self-published books are rushed to print without the proper edits
👉 don't have industry standards or expertise to guide them in what it should look like
👉 are created with a smaller budget, so most self-publishers don't feel they can get this expert help either.
But because of these very real issues, so many bad books are created every year, making it hard for really great books to get above the noise and be found by readers, even with lots of marketing behind them.
This leaves authors feeling frustrated and disappointed with the publishing process.
That's why we partnered with Journey to Kidlit to teach you how to produce a quality children's book that's worthy of a child's time. Using our expert guidance, you can learn how to easily produce a book you'll be proud to share with your family and friends.
