One day, recently, I looked through my thousands of photos of animals and thought, "I should make a photo book." So I did. I've published two and the Dogs book is almost complete. These are great for the 3-6 age range with only 2 or 3 words per page.

The presale for 'The Red Ball' is now live! Only available on my website (link in bio). #presale #TheRedBall #childrensbook

This is a cute counting book I made for my grandson. Duke is a small dog with a big heart and even bigger woof. If you didn't know any better you'd think there were 15 dogs in your house. I hadn't intended in publishing it, but it's just too cute.

I'm reading through a story that I wrote and finished three years ago. I can't remember the entire plot so as I'm reading, I'm wondering what happens next. I guess that means I did it right.🖋️📖💰

Why do people use Substack? Is it more than just a blog? I just don't know what to do with it. Please help. 🖋️📖💰 #substack #indieauthor #publishing #blogging #writerhelp

I am so proud of my nephew, Daniel Wolfe -author, and my niece, Julia Wolfe -Illus, for producing such an adorable book. A must have for parents with little ones. Please join them for their Title Reveal. www.booksbydanielwolfe.com #authors #childrensbooks #titlereveal #picturebook

🖋️📖💰 Hello, I've self-published PB's for 8 years now and I'm still learning. I'm okay with website building, Photoshop, writing, IS, and KDP. I need more time with Amazon ads. What program do you use to create your files for upload? I used InDesign but it's $$$ #writing #formatting #author

Introducing ME! A 61 year-old she, with 31 independently pub books. Would I ever want an agent? Yes, but I can't always wait so I putter on. (please tell me I'm not the only one.) I'm happy to share my failures and successes with anyone to keep them from falling into the same holes that I did. 😝👀🕳️

My illustrator wrote his own book, published in 2024. I purchased it and absolutely love it. Congrats Andy @andycatbug.bsky.social #illustration #kidlit #childrensbooks #picturebooks #illustrations #characters #kidlitart #drawing #painting

I am beyond happy with my first collaboration with an illustrator. @andycatbug.bsky.social did an excellent job of illustrating my book based on the text. Cover is fabulous & inside chapter headings are full page. The setting is a small town on Halloween, but it's about friends & pinky promises.

To Vienna I go. l'll NOT be doing social media or computer. Phone will be used sparingly. I'll have to bring a notebook to write all my stories down that are swimming in my head because of #storystorm and @12x12challenge.bsky.social I'm going to miss my dogs and this community while I'm gone.

If you are trying to write a picture book, this is a great place to start. Check them out. Send your writer friends to www.12x12challenge.com #12x12PB
