Considering booking Harleigh for coaching
To anyone considering booking Harleigh for coaching, I booked an hour and it will not be my last. She is so helpful, knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Her suggestions and experienced advice including tools and avenues to help with your unique publishing journey is worth the cost for sure. Feel free to ask me any questions I am happy to expand.

@Harleigh Manske your researched suggestion made so much sense! I have added words and the wordless picture book has come alive. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought about checking searches for wordless. What a difference! Thank you. E

@Holly Rampone that wasn’t what I consulted her about, yet she has videos on it . I know with a one on one her advice could be more specific to your situation-benefit you on your unique journey, launching that particular book. Good luck!
Pre Book Launch
What does everyone do for pre book launch for capturing emails? Do you setup a landing page? What services do you use?

@Dawn Bowers great information on these threads for sure!
Keep Going!
After 7 projects published all I can think of is the joy someone feels when reading and the many times My Higher Power whispered "keep going" when wanting to give up. Stay encouraged Keep going!
Keep Going!

Hi there, I am Ellen Carroll from the Eastern Shore of Maryland.. I write and illustrate children’s picture books. So glad to join this group and wish everyone great success in sharing their tales. I have several books out to query and I am self publishing an early reader book phonetic reader on Amazon KDP, Good Day Gator, which should be listed in a few weeks. My website www.ellencarroll.com/art-portfolio -if you want to take a look at a collection of random illustrations from several stories in the works. I am also considering illustrating for others on a limited basis. Best to all, Ellen
ISBNs
I’m buying my own ISBNs for my books. What is everyone else doing?

I purchase 10 at a time as well from Bowker for my picture books. If you use Amazons it handicaps your options outside of their world. When you pay for your ISBNs you are in control of the book , and any future decisions.
