  • Hi everyone, this video is a KDP tutorial on how to self publish a picture book. It's all the technical info like formatting the book, creating templates, what the bleed and safe zones are. Do you need to buy your own ISBN number? What extra pages do you need in your book, like Copyright page, Endpapers, Title page. I hope you find this helpful.

    • @EmmaCarpenterIllustration
      @EmmaCarpenterIllustration  Před rokem +1

      Thank you for your kind comment 😊When you're scanning your artwork change the resolution to at least 300 dpi (I scan at 600dpi) DPI stands for dots per inch, so the higher the number the better the resolution. There's lots of videos on CZcams on the topic of digitising your artwork. @harmonyhardinillustration made a video here czcams.com/video/AvnxdsoNaPU/video.html

    Hi Emma, fellow UK based illustrator and CZcamsr here. That was brilliant, I've been thinking of getting one of my books on Amazon but wasn't sure how the uploading process plus ISBNs and barcodes etc would all work. Thank you for doing all the work and sharing it with us. The book turned out beautifully and I loved the bloopers at the end.

I would love to see a seal one day. There are 3 different ones in dummy stage or early development - one is called “How Maud met Anne” on how Lucy Maud Montgomery got her book Anne of Green Gables published, the other one is called “Bim and the Brass Band on Silent Island” about the power of music and overcoming old conventions, and then one more about a little mouse that has wings but cannot fly due to all the things he cannot let go of called “Archimedes learns to fly” :)
