    Hi Holly,
    Can you give any Info on children's book cover design, how to decide what kind of imagery to display, best layout, or do you already have a video of this or similar?
    I enjoyed this video so thumbs up for you! Good to see kiwi on the tube! ☺️

    Really enjoy all these insights. I’m not about to publish anything but just super curious to have a look into all the behind the scenes of the industry and the different approaches to creating things I love - like books :)

      Thanks, Charlotte. It's good to know that these are interesting even if you're not into self-publishing yourself. And thank you for taking the time to comment!
