Questions, answered
Children's book publishing FAQ.
Yes — original illustration is the beating heart of how we make children's books. You'll see character sketches and a sample spread early on, choose the style and palette, and approve the art as it grows, so the look lands exactly right for your story.
Absolutely. So many of our children's authors arrive with a concept, a character or a gentle lesson they want to pass on. Our children's writers shape it into a story with the right rhythm, rhyme and reading level — fully credited to you.
Hardcover, paperback and chunky board books for the smallest hands, plus ebook and read-along audio. We help you pick the trim size and format that suit your age group best.
Always — all of them. Your story, your characters and the artwork are yours, and your name stays on the copyright, the ISBN and every royalty payment.
Because original art takes love and time, it varies — yet it still moves far faster than traditional publishing — weeks of focused production, not years. You'll have a clear map and watch the illustrations come to life along the way.
