Thank you for sharing your passion for children's literature and for inspiring others to follow their dreams.

Excellent video! I recently found your channel because I'm sitting on a finished manuscript that I wrote while I was an elementary school teacher a couple of years ago. The timing is opening up in my life where I can dedicate all my focus to making the publication of these stories a reality; however, I want to make sure I do it the right way. Thank you for laying out all the arguments for both routes, and I'm convinced self-publishing is the way forward for me. My question for you is about pricing: I had an illustrator draw pictures for all the stories in my book. What does a normal split in royalties between writer and illustrator look like?
@EeviJones
@EeviJones 3 күн бұрын
That's so wonderful to hear. I personally prefer paying the illustrator up front. That way, we won't have to worry about any future payments. I so hope this helps!

You're so very welcome!

And once you have published more books, you can update this page. I so hope this helps, Morgan!

I worked for hours on Canva trying to figure out how to crop the landscape image to no avail. Is there another Plug n Go template that I can use to crop my landscape full-bleed illustration? If so, please send me the link. I will gladly purchase it. Thank you. I appreciate your help so much.

Hi Anita, could you clarify a bit more what it is you are trying to do? If you have double spread images and are trying to format them for your ebook, you won't need to change their sizes (as long as you are planning to use the double spread display for your ebook). If you are trying to crop your double spread images in order to format your paperback, please make sure to watch the step-by-step videos that come with my Plug & Go templates. I so hope this helps!

Thank you so much for these videos Eevi, they are incredibly helpful. You are a kind and genuine soul to do this to help other authors. I am truly grateful 🙏 ❤ I do have a question... do I need a disclaimer on my website 🤔 to protect my content? I'm looking at how to protect my content on social media (I'm working my way towards these videos) and read that a disclaimer should or can be added to these pages and the website. I'm not sure about a disclaimer. Do you, by chance, have a video about this? Again, I thank you so much for your time and effort. ❤

Hi Evie, I watched your video the same day I hired a company to convert my book to eBook. They were gracious to refund the $800. I used your tip to make all pages the same size and it looks amazing. HERE IS MY QUESTION/PROBLEM AND IT'S HOLDING ME BACK. If my reader selects Landscape, it looks great. If my reader selects Portrait it is microscopic. If I select Landscape/Double image for my book, is this what will automatically show for my customer? Or will they have to set their e-Reader to landscape?

Ohhh, that's absolutely fantastic, Laura! I'm SO glad you were able to format your own ebook and receive a refund! If we select the double image setup, it should automatically show up like this. And most readers will also intuitively turn their e-reader, if they see a double spread like this. I so hope this helps!

I want to sincerely thank you, Eevi. Your free content has been incredibly helpful. A few years ago, I published a children's book and recently thought my college students could learn about product development by creating their own children's ebooks. I forgot how hard and time-consuming it is and almost gave up until I found your videos and website. Your knowledge saved me and my students a lot of time. I highly recommend you to anyone wanting to self-publish a book. You're also an amazing entrepreneur. Having started my digital business in 1999, I've seen many examples of content marketing, and your website is one of the best. The time and love you've invested in your website, tools, videos, newsletter, and courses, all while being a mom of young children, is truly amazing. Thank you for all your hard work and sacrifices! I hope you see that your passion is inspiring and influencing the creators of tomorrow.
