I’m exploring options for publishing a children's book, but I’m not sure where to begin. Should new authors work with traditional publishers, self publish, or use hybrid services? How do you ensure the story, illustrations, and educational value meet quality standards? What are the common mistakes to avoid when targeting a young audience? I’d love to hear from authors and illustrators what strategies worked, what challenges did you face, and what advice would you give?
