Hi Heather, I am very much enjoying your videos series on children’s books. This was very informative. I am having less anxiety since I’ll be publishing my own book hopefully soon. As they say, knowledge is power. I’m looking forward to watching and learning some more from your videos thanks so much Bernadette

Wonderful ideas! However, please if I want to add coloring pages and other activity pages to my story book, wouldnt the glossy texture of the colored print affect it?

@HeatherCashArt 2 месяца назад

Hi! The texture of the pages isn't SUPER glossy. I think it would work ok for a coloring page 🙂

Hi Heather - Thank you for sharing great ideas. I have a couple of questions regarding my Children's Picture Book. I used Procreate to create and publish it in paperback and ebook formats on Amazon/KDP. Can I also use the same format to publish it as a hardcover book on IngramSpark? Do I need to convert the format from Procreate to another software? Does the hard cover version have to be same size? Additionally, I'm considering making some changes to the front cover. Is it possible to add more color to the front cover for the hardcover version to make it more visually appealing? I understand that the paperback and hardcover versions may differ slightly. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Gail, thanks for your great questions! You can use the same PDF for your inside pages of your hardcover book in IngramSpark - BUT, one caveat is that IS is a lot pickier when it comes to color mode. It needs to be a generic CMYK profile. It's on my list to make a video on how to convert your PDF to the proper color mode for IS. As far as size/colors/etc - it can be different! It will have its own ISBN so it really is its own book. So yes you can make it a different size etc. For the cover, hardcover covers are a bit more complicated than paperback. You actually need to download a template from IS to use for your hardcover cover. The catch is, you can't download it until you have an ISBN for your book. So you'll need to either get the free one from IS or purchase one (whichever you are doing) so that you can download the template. I hope that helps! Let me know if I missed anything.

Hi! I don't have extra time to create *entire* books for people, if you are interested in that, I recommend Marilynn Methven: www.heathercash.art/hire-a-children-s-book-illustrator#graphic-artist But I do offer individual services like character illustration, fix your KDP errors, book consultation, and help session. You can find those on my website at: www.heathercash.art/category/all-products
