When we think about self-publishing, Amazon is often the first option that comes to mind. But it’s not the only one—and depending on the kind of book you’re publishing, it may be worth exploring other possibilities. We’re delighted to welcome Jessica E. Knight, author, picture book enthusiast, and SCBWI Southwest Texas Regional Advisor. Jessica will share her experience self-publishing her debut picture book, Cinderbella, through Bookvault, a UK-based print and publishing service.

Picture books are particularly challenging to self-publish because the quality of the finished book really matters—from the color and printing to the paper, trim size, and overall feel of the book. Jessica will talk about why she chose Bookvault and how she made her publishing decisions with her own goals for Cinderbella in mind.

What you’ll get from the presentation:

• An inside look at Jessica’s self-publishing experience with Bookvault
• A better understanding of what to consider when choosing a self-publishing platform
• Insights into the particular challenges of self-publishing picture books
• Ideas for getting a more polished, professional-looking finished book
• A chance to ask Jessica your own questions during the Q&A

Come join us and discover another option for bringing your picture book from manuscript to beautiful finished book!
