Hey VIP’s! This week my son is turning 7 and we’re going on a family vacation for the weekend. Because of that I had to switch up my availability. Please let me know via DM or in the comments if you want to set up a 1:1 and are unable to- we’ll get you booked!

I have some questions about illustrations for books. If an illustrator is using a graphic software to illustrate a book, is there a specific pixel size they should be using for an 8.5 x 8.5 book? Or does it not matter? If it does matter, should I assume the pixel size changes based on the size of the book? As for the illustrations that are perhaps painted in acrylics or watercolor do they just get up loaded as is? Or does they need to be digitalized first? Thank you in advance for the information. I have found current college students willing to illustrate my books. I’m trying to learn as much as I can about the process before moving forward.

What illustration software do most people use? Is Procreate difficult to learn? I am interested in trying to learn. Any suggestions for a beginner?

I’m looking at my schedule of videos that I want to create for you (it is literally endless 😅), and I want your input!

Hello, I am brand new here and haven’t figured out how to search for topics yet, so if this is a repeat I apologize. I have written a lullaby for my grandson that I had printed just for him through Snapfish. Now I want to publish it as a board book to sell. I am looking for information on where you guys get your board books printed for resale. I looked at QU Publishing and Penguin Puff. I also started looking into the company Haleigh uses. Anyone have experience with any of these? Also, the right now is gender specific, there is a line that says “you’re my little boy”. It can easily be changed to “little girl”. With the minimum order quantities so high, I’m debating whether it’s worth printing two different versions, or rewriting it to be gender neutral. I’m still working on illustrations so I can go either way. Thoughts? Thank you all. I’m excited to be here
