Children's books are not just shorter adult books. The word count, sentence rhythm, illustration ratio, and visual language all change with the target age. We work with children's-book writers and illustrators who know the difference between a 4-year-old's picture book and a 9-year-old's chapter book, and we keep both the words and the art under one roof so the final product feels intentional, not stitched together.
Ages 0 to 3. Sturdy printed-on-cardstock format with rounded corners. Typical run: 8 to 14 spreads, under 100 words total, with bold high-contrast illustration on every page.
Ages 3 to 7. The classic 32-page picture-book format with full-bleed illustration on every page and roughly 500 to 1,000 words of text. We write the manuscript or pair you with an illustrator if you already have the words.
Ages 5 to 8. Short chapters, simple sentences, controlled vocabulary, and an illustration every page or two. The bridge between picture books and chapter books, sized around 1,500 to 4,000 words.
Ages 8 to 12. Chapter books with developed plot and character arcs, typically 20,000 to 50,000 words. Optional black-and-white interior illustrations or chapter-opener art.
One project manager per book, not a rotating team. They sit between you, the writer, and the illustrator so feedback never gets lost in handoffs. Weekly check-ins, all manuscript and art revisions tracked in one shared workspace, so you always know which version is current.
If you bring the manuscript, we pair you with an illustrator whose portfolio matches your story's tone. If you bring the illustrations, we pair you with a writer. If you bring just an idea, we pair you with both. Same project manager either way.
You pay for the work we do, once. We do not take a cut of your royalties, we do not hold your rights, and the ISBN registers in your name. Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and other retailer accounts belong to you. If you ever want to leave, you keep the book, the rights, and the accounts.
Most publishers disappear the day your book goes on sale. We do not. The 30 days after launch are when retailers tend to flag print proofs, metadata mismatches, or category placement issues. We handle that triage so you do not chase three different support emails on launch week. After day 30, you have the keys and the dashboards.
Do you have questions about developing your book idea, refining your manuscript, or leading the publishing process? Our FAQ section is packed with answers!
Your royalties are directly deposited into your bank account. We do not take a cut; your earnings are net of any fees charged by the sales platform like Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
Absolutely, you have the flexibility to choose your book's ink quality, paperweight, and size. We provide a selection list early in your publishing journey, and you can make adjustments in your dashboard at any time after the book is formatted.
The reach of your book depends on the publishing plan you choose. Our most comprehensive plans connect you to a vast network of over 40 top publishing platforms, independent bookstores, online retailers, and chain stores globally.
You retain 100% copyright and ownership of your book. This full control is a distinctive feature of our service, setting up all sales and distribution accounts directly in your name.
There are no hidden costs. All pricing is transparent and provided upfront at the beginning of the publishing process.
You hold complete autonomy over setting the retail price of your book. Our role is to guide and assist you in choosing a price point that reflects your goals as part of our comprehensive publishing services.
The standard turnaround time for publishing a book ranges from 4 to 8 weeks, although this can vary depending on how quickly you provide feedback and approvals. The faster you respond, the quicker we can proceed with publication.
To ensure speed and cost-efficiency, we provide PDF proof copies of your book. This method allows for quicker revisions and approval processes.
While you can order as many copies of your book as needed, all copies are provided at cost price. This means you only pay for the actual printing and shipping costs of the books you order.
Printing and distribution are managed through the Print on Demand services of the platforms where your book is published, such as Amazon’s Print-on-Demand facility, which handles fulfillment directly to customers while ensuring you receive your royalties.
