Hi there! I’m so excited to be here! Thank you for having me! I have a quick question: Because of very limited finances, the only way I can publish my books is if I use AI to illustrate them myself. I know many people are against that. If I had any other option I would take it. Either I use AI or I can’t publish. Period. I’d like to know if I’m still welcome here based on that. I’ve encountered harsh criticism for going the AI route. I’d just like to know where I stand. Is anyone else using AI to illustrate? Hoping I can still be part of this group!!

✍️ Writers, I’m curious what part of writing do you love the most… and what part do you secretly dread? For me, I love the creative rush of starting a new story but editing? That’s where I start bargaining with the universe. 😅 How about you?

I went into a local bookstore and asked if I could talk to someone about getting my book on their shelves. Went with book and flyer in hand and they told me I had to submit to their website. They took my info, gave me their cell phone number, and said that when it's in their system they would love to set up a book signing! What?! How cool is that! First time ever doing anything like that! So excited!

Hi everyone! I’d love some advice on font choices for my book. I’m attaching the title page and a few of the inside pages — the illustrations were done by an illustrator, but I’m not sure what font style, layout, or color would work best with them. Any suggestions and ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

My first children's book "Clark the Mountain Beaver and His Big Adventure" was written 10 years ago!!! Back in 2015 print-on-demand was not readily available for colored illustrations so I had it printed the old fashioned way. It is now 2025 and I am releasing a second edition with major modifications and with the help of KDP. This second edition will be able to reach a whole new generation of children all over the world!!! 🥳 Launch date is November 20, 2025. 🎉
