“I recently had my first children's book published by Outskirts Press, and what a delight it was! All my questions were answered, and the help I received was great. My author rep, Tina, was such a joy to work with. She was so patient with me and walked me through every step with ease.

When I received the package with my author's copies, I was so excited! I looked at my first copy over and over again. Friends and family members have told me how beautiful the book looks. I am so pleased with Outskirts and have already told others to publish with them. After seeing my book, one friend in particular has decided to have Outskirts Press publish her book too.

I have other stories to publish, and I know who my publisher will be...OUTSKIRTS PRESS! Thanks!” - Ruth M. Abramsen, author of...

Happy Mother's Day!

Whether you are a mother or have a mother, you've probably thought about writing and publishing a children's book, either to share with your children, your family, or with the whole wide world.

Now you can, and it is easier than you think. With full-color on-demand publishing, children's books as short as four pages can be designed, printed, published, and distributed worldwide.

Here are 3 quick tips for writing your children's book:

  1. Write for your audience - Do not use words that are inappropriate for the age group. For instance, did you know the longest word in the English language is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcaniconiosis?
  2. Make every page count - While Outskirts Press can publish children's books as short as 4 pages, the two most common lengths are 16 pages and 32 pages.
  3. Maintain a moral - It's important that someone in the story demonstrates positive traits. Children seek role models in stories.

What about illustrations?

It used to be that adding full-color drawings to your children's story was the largest obstacle of all. Children's illustrations used to be very expensive, they would take forever to be finished, and the artist often wanted to split the royalties with you.

No longer! Now you can choose from over a dozen different styles, starting as low as $100 per full-page original illustration. Plus, you don't have to split any of your royalties with the artist!

Take a peek at some of our custom illustration styles:

Is a published children's book the PERFECT Mother's Day present?
