Hi Angie, I know the feeling, ive been there. It feels like a huge project, but actually with a bit of help its quite easy.

@chadsimmons4496 3 года назад

I feel like KDP Amazon has been great for me. Once I create more books (only one so far), I might venture into other options. I have a rhyme/picture book. A keepsake kind of style. Free on Kindle Unlimited for UK. Would love to get some hits there, and see how the rhymes fall across the pond. Title is Good Dream Kiss. Jules is one of the first YT channels I began watching before my book. Just her charisma alone has been such an inspiration to newbies like me. If I can do it, you can do it! Thank you, Jules!

Hi, if the childrens book just has the words and not the pictures, how would I format it?

@alansturgess1324 2 года назад

Absolutely first class with masses of advice based on experience, all delivered very clearly and without the bursts of technical geekery which often bedevils tutorials like this.. Only one tiny niggle - when listing all the genres for children's books, there was no mention of poetry written for children. That's a niche that seems to be smaller than the proverbial eye of a needle! Otherwise - totally ace job. Award yourself a coffee or a G&T.

@theresahutch168 Год назад

Your videos are wonderful. I'm curious about sending a "dummy book" in a digital format vs print? Also, I have 5 tarot and oracle decks published by a major publisher but they don't specialize in children's books. Is there a benefit to this for my new children's book that I painted?

@thehyggeknitter Год назад

Im curious about what the “dummy book” is as well. Does this include placeholders for art?

@melanieklarofficial Год назад

How many books have you gotten published through a publisher? Have you had any published without an agent?

@JulesMarriner Год назад

Hi Melanie, I have 3 working on 4th with publisher and none with an agent. I have had 2 agents before but not had any work through them.

@brina873 2 года назад

I have an idea for kids book series like ten books but I can’t draw. What do I do?

@np5388 Год назад

Hiya!! Great video, I have a question. If an agent asks for a manuscript, cover letter and a synopsis. Does the synopsis go in a separate document to the manuscript or should it go at the start/end of the manuscript? Also!! Since I'm an author illustrator, some agents ask for a few sample illustrations, so should these go in a separate file or?? I'm not sure if I'm overthinking this but I really don't want to submit a mess of different files which would potentially turn off the agent. Thanks!!!

@JulesMarriner Год назад

Hello! I would send them in separate, labelled files so they can find the synopsis easily- that’s what they’ll look for first.

@elsieschmaltz6754 2 года назад

My first book is not out yet but it is called: The Easter Hunt . It will be done sometime in2022 year. It will be done sometime after Easter 2022 yr.

@KatalinaKristina Год назад

"Dont let them feel like they've been shortlisted for other possibilities." That's a naive expectation I'm literally laughing my ass off. We're trying to get noticed in a considerable amount of time. OBVIOUSLY we'd send it to other agents or publishers just incase they reject us. They either want our story or not. That's the reality of on their side and should wear their big boy pants and set their feelings aside.

@chanele9148 10 месяцев назад

I always come back to this channel I really appreciate your work and energy it’s awesome. I sent my childrens book to a publisher but I didn’t get a response . It would be nice to know if I was refused for the sake of clarity however I was wondering would it be appropriate if I called the company because they did say it does take 1 to 4 months but it has been 4 months. This is my first time so I was just wondering what do you suggest?

@JulesMarriner 10 месяцев назад

Hi Chanele, I would definitely call them, it's rude of them not to respond at all. Sometimes they are so busy that they forget to write or email back, so I would call or email them if I were you, and ask for feedback.

@chanele9148 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for your reply. I will call them this week and hopefully everything is ok. This would be a dream come true.

@chanele9148 3 месяца назад

I finally received a reply and my book was refused. I’m not giving up of course so I’m searching for publishers :) I was wondering would you happen to know a publishing house if that is allowed ? Thank you

@chanele9148 3 месяца назад

Of course you don’t have to sharf you’re not comfortable I’m just trying

@chrismcbee4653 5 месяцев назад

How do you find an illustrator for a children's book? Thank you

@JulesMarriner 5 месяцев назад

Hi Chris, you can look in the Children's Writers and Artists yearbook/website. Or look on Instagram for someone you like the look of. I've made a video sort of on this subject here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mgiXc1Y7ayc.html

@ronschwartz5565 Год назад

Hi Jules. I have a bit of a unique situation. A few years ago i sent several letters out to agents for my short children's book, written in rhyme. Upon 100% rejections, I decided to go a different route. I made it into an animation. It is 8 minutes and we're nearly done. Do you think I should still contact literary agents who could help me develop revenue streams for this in a non-traditional / non-book manner? Thanks for info

@JulesMarriner Год назад

Yes give it a go. What have you got to lose?

@np5388 Год назад

That sounds so cool!! Where can we see this animation :)

When you send your dummy book to yourself Through the Post Office What do you write on the flap I was just wondering

@andreaschneider6202 5 месяцев назад

@jimschneider993 Thank you for your comment. I wrote my first picture book a while ago (long story short--part of which is concerning a copyright attorney). I need to find a reputable copyright attorney. A friend had agreed to be the illustrator, most thankfully.... I like the idea of mailing oneself a dummy book. I could not help but notice your last name. Best wishes, Andrea S.

@eiarto8165 Год назад

Question: How much of the book should be included on the manuscript you are going to send to the publisher?

@JulesMarriner Год назад

Depends what age group it’s for. Chapter books or stories above 2500 words just send a chapter and synopsis. For a picture book, send the whole thing. Hope that helps 🤓

You can send your idea as a manuscript and they can find an illustrator.

ok... you've told me how to send my book to a publisher....but, what do b efore that. do l write and illustrate it then stick it all together........

Hi Jan, I’ve made a video on making a dummy book here- WHAT IS A DUMMY BOOK? HOW DO YOU MAKE ONE? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SNXm8cdJT_Q.html Hope that helps 🙂

@JulesMarriner Год назад

Best to write the text and have a few - maybe 2-3 - illustrations to show your style, and a dummy book to send. Don’t illustrate the whole thing, just do roughs.

@chanele9148 Год назад

I was wondering, is it acceptable to have a book self published through Amazon KDP and contact a publisher. I am awaiting a response that takes 1 to 3 months however, the publisher that I have sought doesn’t require a literary agents but I don’t want to make a mistake. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.

@JulesMarriner Год назад

Hi Chanele, a hard one to answer. My gut feeling is most publishers won’t want your book already published anywhere if the are going to take it on. However YOU want it published and in readers hands. Maybe you could self publish you first book, then try for a publisher on your second, so you have some figures to show them. Just a thought.

@chanele9148 Год назад

@@JulesMarriner thank you for your reply. I was thinking the same thing, but I actually took my book off of Amazon KDP and it was only published in January. I guess I rushed it when I shouldn’t have either way I’m still going to be hoping for the best . Also I really enjoy your content

@chanele9148 Месяц назад

Hi I came back to this comment, and it is very logical . I was wondering if you know any good publishers that don’t require a literary agent because I really feel like I have the potential for this book to be on the market and also have merchandise such as mugs or puzzles and I’m trying to hold onto to my goal if you could help me out with us so I would greatly appreciate it.
