I just released a new podcast episode, and this one covers a topic that I've been getting asked about A LOT lately... AI illustrations for children's books. Whether you're considering using AI, already using AI, or you're completely against it, I think it's important to understand the realities of what can happen after you publish an AI-illustrated children's book. It's to help you make an informed decision and understand the different paths available to you as a children's book author. 🎧 Listen here: https://authorharleighrose.com/episodes/15-using-ai-illustrations-for-an-amazon-kdp-childrens-book-heres-what-to-watch-out-for

Today marks my 4-year anniversary of being a self-published Children's Book Author. I had so many high hopes for where this journey would take me, but I would never have guessed it would become my full-time job so quickly! In this new video, I share the top 4 things I have learned over the past 4 years (you probably won't guess what I'm gonna say). I hope you enjoy it and it helps or inspires you on this crazy road that we call self-publishing children's books! Watch it Here 👇 https://youtu.be/KqdpkipwQC8?si=2VUBFOQANwGuMbsA

Hi everyone! I’m so excited (and a little nervous 😄) to share that I just posted my very first YouTube video! It’s part of something I’m building called “The Wholesome Story Room” — a space for faith-filled, family-centered conversations around children’s books, storytelling, and purpose. This first video is an author-to-author conversation, and it truly meant a lot to me to create. If you have a moment, I’d be so grateful for your support — whether that’s watching, liking, or just cheering me on. I’m really stepping out in faith with this, and I’m excited to keep growing and learning alongside all of you! 👉 https://youtu.be/B6DoYRM4Ruc?si=BtrrKrC5iQa9JeSY Thank you all for being such an encouraging community! — Bria | Bright Little Pages ✨

My brand new podcast, Children’s Book Marketing Made Easy, is officially live! When I first shared that I was thinking about launching a podcast, I got such an overwhelmingly positive response from you. It honestly made me even more excited to bring this to life! Believe me, I know how busy you are. After a long day, the last thing you want to do is sit down and watch a full YouTube video. That’s exactly why I created this podcast, so you can still learn and grow your children’s book business in a way that fits into your daily life. You can listen while you’re driving, cleaning, walking… wherever. Each episode is designed to help you start your week with clarity and momentum, with simple, practical strategies you can actually use to grow your audience and sell more books. New episodes will be released every Monday! 🎧 You can listen to the first three episodes here:​​ https://authorharleighrose.com/ If you enjoy it, it would mean so much to me if you followed the podcast on your favorite app and left a review. That’s what helps more children’s book authors find it. I’m really proud of this, and I can’t wait for you to listen!

I can’t wait to share this with you- stay tuned!
