Children’s Author, June Grubb, had Sherman in her heart for many years. We partnered with Vicki Richie to bring Sherman to life in her series of books about Sherman The Hedgehog! Currently working on book #3!
The difference between narratuscreative and other small publishers is that we will work with you, 1:1 to create the book of your dreams. Your story matters. Your story could help change someone’s life. We want to help you see it through.
Color Illustrations - If you don’t have an illustrator, we’ll work with you to help you find the one who gets it - has a vision for your story - and can help you create your book. We’ll help negotiate the cost so that everyone is happy.
Editing: Let’s face it. Most children’s books don’t need a lot of editing, but we will work hand in hand with you making sure you story is understood by children everywhere. We’ll send you multiple electronic proofs and 1 printed proof. If hard-editing is needed, we will contact you to discuss options. At the end of this process, we’ll send 1 printed proof copy for you to look and approve before we publish your book.
Standard Trim Sizes: 8.5x8.5, 8.5x11, 6x6 (other options are available). Many kids' books are published in hardback and that is certainly an available option (see examples below).
ISBN and Barcode: A Bowker issued ISBN is a book industry requirement for distribution and retail sales. The basic package includes an ISBN and a barcode on the back cover of the book.
Standard Interior Book Formatting & Cover: Children need vivid color! This package includes page layout incorporating custom illustrations. The full-color cover design could come from one of your inside pages or a page designed by the illustrator.
YOU OWN YOUR BOOK. We’ll file the copyright, but we don’t want the rights. We have a standard contract and terms of service agreement detailing this and our royalties agreement.
Book Copies: You’ll receive 10 copies of your book!
Bottom Line: Upfront costs for this package is $6999.
Book Purchases: Do you want to sell your books? When you travel and speak? At civic organizations? At church? For family and friends? This package is for you! You can order as many copies as you like at our bottom line pricing. If you would like for your book to go international and have distribution on Amazon and other sites, we can do that for you. We’ll be happy to discuss all of these options and customize a solution that’s right for you.
