Hi, folks. This week on the show, I chat with Misty Barron about her picture books inspired by Laughter Yoga. She talks about the process of constructing picture books as a self-publisher, including the need for templates and sourcing images.
Though our discussion focuses on picture books, there’s a lot of great tips in here for anyone looking to produce an image-based book. Have a listen.
Since it’s been all busy here at the Dowell household, I don’t have much of a writing update for you all this time, so I’d love to hear in the comments, what have you all been working on?
Some more resources on templates and images:
Tara Lazar’s picture book construction post. (While this isn’t focused on sizing and margins, as Misty discussed, the layout and page count info on this page are crucial for picture book writers and illustrators BEFORE they move on to page size and margins.)
The Book Designer: Sourcing and using images. (This post is focused on image use for book covers, but is also helpful for folks looking to used stock imagery in other ways.)
