Hi Eevi. I discovered this video by accident. I already have your book and although I haven't read it yet it's on my list to read. I am on my second or is it third draft of my 📖 having sent it to an editor and I'm sure that your guidance will be very useful.

Hi Evie, How do you layout inside pages so you can see the right and left page spread?

@EeviJones 5 ай бұрын

Hi there! You can do so by simply creating a physical book dummy, or you can use Google docs. If you are asking how I format my interior pages, I use my templates. I went ahead and shared them below, if you'd like to take a look - www.eevijones.com/childrens-book-layout-template/

Thank you for showing us this, it is quite mind blowing trying to format a book. I’m ready to pull my hair out. I have my story and illustrations on pdf - but don’t know how to make a cover for my book. It’s a childrens book. And I don’t know how to load it.. does a childrens book have to be done on Kdp kids create or can it be done on Kdp?? I just don’t understand.. aggggghh

@EeviJones 2 жыл бұрын

You're so welcome! To make your cover, please feel free to use my Illustration Template Generating tool (www.eevijones.com/illustration-template-generator/) to help you with the sizing. I use the KDP Kids' Creator Tool to format my ebook as well, so that would be a great tool.

I have a question: After my son finishes reading me a book, we turn off the light and i tell him stories. Sometimes non-fiction stories from my childhood, sometimes i make up stories! He like those a lot,asking me for "fiction" I spontaneously made up a story recently. I made it up as i went. Up until that moment,i had no idea what that night would bring. The story was about a lonely crocodile. I even loved it. The very next morning i digged it. And found a book about the lonely crocodile called Salty. How could I have avoided plagiarism of i were not to see Salty come up on my research a d published a book almost identical? What are your tips? How do you handle that as there are millions of books out there? Thanks in advance!

Hi Gokhan! Thanks so much for your comment! Most story lines have been used over and over again. There aren't too many truly original stories out there any longer. So even though your story might have been similar to someone else's, that doesn't mean people will assume you've plagiarized others' work. I hope this helps, Gokhan! I love that you've been making up stories for your little one!

not every story has to have a message behind it...there's nothing wrong with just writing a good story if the reader finds a message somewhere in there, that's all good, but not every story has to have a message or lesson in it.

Correct, Robert. See minute marker 1:18.

Looking for great books to give to kids while young? try educational books, not just your regular ones but the custom ones such as *personalised childrens books* - you theme this right w/ the correct labels, cover design and names to leave a greater impact to young book lovers
