Hi! I¡¯m Angela Sage Larsen. Today, we¡¯re going to talk about publishing your own children¡¯s story. Please visit my web site at petalwinkthefairy.com. So, you want to write a children¡¯s book. Let¡¯s talk about the overall concept and design of your book. This is your vision for the story that you¡¯re going to tell. You¡¯ll want to think about things like the size of your book; whether the book is going to be hardback book, and of course the feel of the book. Is it going to be lively with a lot of bold colors? Is it going to be a counting book or an alphabet book? See all the bright colors. You can also see how that would affect the text of the story. Is it going to be worked right into the design? You can also think about if you want the text to be on its own and then the illustrations separately, or if they are worked in together. This will affect the whole look and feel of your book, and this will dictate the direction you take in designing it.
