Hi everyone 👋 I’m Moore Evelyn I work with eBooks, social media management, and graphic design. Glad to be part of this community and looking forward to engaging with you all.

If I said $5k would you think that’s crazy? It’s really not. You can actually hit that number pretty quickly. Let’s break it down: 100,000 Word Manuscript • Edits cost about $.04/word (already you’re at $4,000!) • Cover design $500 (you can get it for less, but it can also be way more!) • Formatting/book design $50-200 (depending…) • Author proof copies and ARC copies $$ Children’s Picture Book • Edits cost about $250-400 • Illustrations $2500-$10,000 (picture books - graphic novels can be significantly more. Estimate about $100/picture.) • Formatting/book design $50-200 (depending…) • Author proof copies and ARC copies $$ Neither of these examples include a marketing budget! 😅 Have you planned your publishing budget??

Good morning everyone thanks for the add and happy to be a part of the community

What genre is your current manuscript? Have you published before or will this be your first?

If you had to give a piece of advice to someone starting today as a writer or an author, what would it be?
