Every great story starts with a “Why.” Ours started when I realized that the publishing world was missing something vital.
While searching through the vast landscape of self-publishing, I noticed a recurring pattern: there were plenty of companies that could help you publish a memoir, a business book, or a thriller. But when it came to the unique, vibrant, and complex world of children’s books? There was a void.
I saw authors with beautiful, world-changing stories for kids being treated like just another number in a “general” system. I saw formatting that didn’t respect the art, and storytelling that didn’t quite grasp the psychology of a child. That’s when the vision for Children Book Publish was born. I decided we wouldn’t be “jacks of all trades.” We would be masters of one: the children’s book.
Publishing a children’s book isn’t like publishing a novel. You aren’t just dealing with text; you are managing the delicate dance between words and imagery. You’re navigating complex layouts, specific paper weights, and the shorter attention spans of young readers.
Most authors find themselves frustrated when they work with general publishers who don’t understand that a picture book requires a different soul than a textbook.
Children Book Publish was built to solve this. We assembled a team that lives and breathes children’s literature. We understand that your book isn’t just a product. it’s a teaching tool, a bedtime comfort, and a child’s first window into a bigger world. We provide the specialized guidance that generalists simply can’t offer, ensuring your book stands out on a shelf full of “standard” titles.
Children’s writing is an art form. It requires rhythm, specific vocabulary levels, and an emotional resonance that speaks to a child’s logic. Our writers and editors are specialists in this field, helping you refine your message so it lands perfectly with your target age group.
Unlike a standard black-and-white novel, a children’s book is a visual experience. We handle the complex formatting—wrap-around text, bleed margins, and vibrant color profiles—that ensures your book looks professional and feels “high-end” in a child’s hands.
We don’t just market to readers; we market to the parents, teachers, and librarians who choose the books. Our marketing specialists know exactly how to position your book to reach the adults who are looking for quality content for their little ones.
This is what sets us apart. We collaborate with children’s psychologists to review our projects. This ensures that the messages we send are positive, age-appropriate, and aligned with the best developmental practices. We aren’t just publishing books; we are guarding the future.
We start by understanding your goal. Is this a book for school-aged kids? A board book for toddlers? We align our strategy with your specific niche.
Our specialized writers and illustrators work hand-in-hand to build a visual narrative that ensures every page turn feels like a discovery.
We cross-reference work with government guidelines and psychological best practices to ensure your book is safe and impactful.
Our copyright and marketing teams take over to protect your intellectual property and build a plan to reach the people who need it most.
Our team isn’t just “good at art.” We understand children’s psychology. We know which colors attract toddlers and what level of detail keeps an elementary student staring at a page.
You aren’t just a client; you’re a creator. We keep you involved at every milestone. There are no “black boxes” here—just a transparent, supportive journey where your voice is always heard.
Parents are the gatekeepers. They look for books that feel professional, durable, and thoughtfully made. Our high-standard illustrations signal to parents and educators that your book is a quality resource for the children in their lives.
There is a child out there somewhere who is going to fall in love with your story. They are going to ask for “just one more page” before bed. They are going to remember your characters long after they’ve grown up.
Don’t let your manuscript sit in a drawer just because you aren’t an artist. You’ve done the hard part—you’ve found the words. Let us help you find the magic. At Children Book Publish, we believe your story is important. Let’s make it beautiful together.
