Here is a new post on self publishing and children's books,The formatting of the book is all important,from title to chapters,
The title of the book is one of the most important factors,its the difference between success and failure,get it right your a winner ,get it wrong you will have much lower sales and therefore smaller success.
The old saying never take the book by its cover,is so wrong when it comes to marketing your book,first it has to have a title that asks the reader to look inside for more, catch the eye and interest, of the reader,be relevant to your story,often the title is formed and written before the story. The cover of the book must also be eye catching and appeal to the reader.
You might ask where can i start,or how can I be sure of my title and image,One of the best resources when deciding these two very important tasks,is your local book store,or magazine stand,the books and magazines on show are the latest,the titles and book covers have been tested,for success,now I would never advise copying what you see exactly,but over several publications you will form your own idea of a great title and cover.it gives you a guide line, of what is working in the market today.In fact Amazon best sellers is one of the places, that I visit,when deciding my title and cover.
Amazon also allows you to look inside a book before you buy it,a great tactic is to do just that,find your subject,look for the best seller, in that category,take a look inside the book ,at the formatting,this will show you how to approach your own formatting etc,please do not copy and paste,use this tactic to gain new ideas. Thats all for this post I will be posting again soon on self publishing,next time I will be giving information on how to form your story in word,keeping it exceptical for Amazon kindle etc.
Kind Regards from a passionate children's writer Mary James.
P S. I am in the process of raising funds for my book series.
A crazy day on the beach is the first in the series,there will be 9 other books,but I need your help,take a look at my funding campaign,even if you share the page with your family and friends It will help me. Go here now and take a look.
Many thanks Mary James.
