Self-publishing children's books has opened up so many amazing opportunities for authors... But unfortunately, not every opportunity is what it seems! In this new YouTube video, I talk about some important things every children's book author should be aware of before spending money, signing agreements, or moving forward with certain opportunities. Whether you're publishing your first children's book or you've been doing this for years, I think this is a conversation worth having! I'd love to hear from you in the comments: Have you ever encountered something in the publishing world that seemed too good to be true? 👇

I just released a new podcast episode:​“4 Things I’ve Learned After 4 Years of Self-Publishing Children’s Books.” This was originally posted on YouTube last week, but I know it’s not always easy to sit down and watch a full video. So if you didn’t get a chance to watch it, you can now listen to it on the go. In this episode, I talk about the real side of this journey. The parts that don’t always get shared. The ups, the disappointments, and what actually helped me keep going and turn this into a full-time business. If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or like things just aren’t working the way you hoped… you’re not alone. 🎧 You can listen here:​​https://authorharleighrose.com/episodes/5-4-things-i-ve-learned-after-4-years-of-self-publishing-children-s-books​ I hope this one helps you feel a little more grounded and keeps you moving forward!

Hey Author Growth Roadmap members! Quick update for you 👇 I’ve officially released all modules inside Author Growth Roadmap, no more waiting. Originally, the program was set up to drip out over time because I wanted you to go step by step and really implement each phase properly. But after thinking it through, I realized that, of course, not everyone is at the same stage in their publishing journey. So now, everything is unlocked for you right away! I’ll continue adding and improving modules, especially in the email marketing section, so stay tuned for more updates. If you’re already inside, go explore what you need right now and start implementing. If you’re not a member yet 👉 Join Author Growth Roadmap: https://www.skool.com/author-growth-academy/plans
