Finally! another book is published. I have been having FRUSTRATIONS with KDP on getting my covers accepted. Not any more... thanks to Harleigh. Harleigh actually made a free tutorial for me on creating your cover in Canva. After joining her premium community, she actually took my rejected cover and made it KDP compliant and DM'd it to me. It got published right away! Thank you Harleigh. I will be consulting with her to learn the process. Join her premium community if you want to get your book published correctly.

Hey friends! A lot of you have asked me how to get into contact with the Children’s Book Author community on Instagram. And most of you have had problems getting into that group chat on Instagram (because it’s managed by someone else). Soooooo, I’m thinking about starting a group chat over on Instagram for Author Support. What do you guys think? Should I start one?

I just created the Instagram Support Group Chat of my dreams 😅 Since the other group chat (that I referred many to before) is pretty much at capacity, I created my own to unite all of the friends I have made on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and beyond! Feel feee to join the group chat and read the pinned post for the guidelines 😁 Join here 👉 https://ig.me/j/AbZ7PsOllY-KI4oz/

I finished the French and Spanish books! The French ebook is available now and the Spanish ebook is available for preorder. Both paperbooks will be available on June 2nd. It has been such a learning curve. Thankfully I knew people who each spoke the languages, (fluently), they translated the book into for me. Though neither of them were natural born speakers of either language, they each studied the language extensively and taught children in those languages. But I do know that both of them checked with natural born speakers within each language to ensure what they had was correct. It was such a blessing to have them both on my team. 😀And I've added them both to the front of my book as translators of the book. This is a surprise to them. They didn't know I was going to do that. Plus, of course I thank them on the thank you page. My advice for anyone wanting to produce an alternate language book for your story, use a real human. AI doesn't understand the nuances of language like humans do. Find someone who knows the language, either because it's their first language or because they've studied it extensively and taught it to children. If you don't know anyone in the language you are looking at switching to, ask in all the groups you are in. Find someone you trust.

I honestly wish I had started this WAY sooner as a self-published children’s book author. This one thing completely changed the way I market, launch, and grow my publishing business long-term… and most authors completely overlook it. A lot of people focus only on publishing the book itself, but they miss the part that actually helps create long-term momentum, audience growth, and repeat sales! If you want to sell more children’s books without relying on paid ads, I really think this video will help you. 👇
