Where is the best place to self publish a children’s book?
I’m a writer (and if it’s relevant, I’m a teenager) and I typically write novels or one shots. But, last year I wrote two children’s books for school and a use for them has come up. We want to self publish them because selling them isn’t going to be the main focus. They’re written to raise awareness about a current issue and make it relevant to children.
So where is the best place to get them published through? It would help if ti wasn’t pricey, but we want somebody reliable. Thank you so much!!

Just because it is low priced doesn’t mean it is always the best. One thing that I feel bad about authors is that they discount too much their talents. When you have written something for years (some have like that) and then you invest on so little, you will turn your hard work into some little project that you will just toss away after a year.
Writing a children’s book, or any other kind of book for that matter, is like an extension of yourself and you will forever have that kind of extension for life when it is published. Treat it like something you don’t want to just turn it into an investigatory project. The question is not how to go about publishing your book when “it isn’t pricey”, as you put it yourself, but how far are you willing to invest to get it started especially when you decided to publish it yourself. Because self-publishing entails a setup fee to publish your book, companies right now offer programs with minimal costs.
Authors are made – not born at the first sign of christening and as long as you can write and pull off a manuscript at an early age of what, 6, you can be a published author.
Self-publishing is one venue for authors who wanted to test how their book will fare in the market.
To get into a contract, yes, you must have someone legal to assist you with it. Self-publishing will entail you to make a deposit before going through production and any financial transaction done should be legitimate.
How can you NOT publish? I have known of authors who started as early as 6 to 10- years old.
With parent’s consent, supervision and resources, these children are already raking exposure in the publishing industry as young as they are now.
I truly hope this helps.

If you are still in high school, then talk to your English teacher.
If you’re out of school, look for a writing class and sign up for it. The best way to answer your question is to tell you: just start writing. Some people like to make outlines in order to have something organized from which to refer. But this isn’t necessary.
You can get a notebook and write down the general things you want to include. Figure out what your theme will be (it sounds like you want to take the specifics of your own life and generally apply what you’ve gone through/learned in order to help other people).
Don’t be so concerned with trying to sell it or making it to the NY Times best seller list! Those are pretty high goals to shoot for at this point, particularly if you are not a “great” writer!
Be more concerned with starting the book.
Don’t even worry, at this point, about how many pages.
Don’t look so far into the future: just start!
Figure out where you want to begin and then start writing.
By the way, I am a writer (of a newspaper column). I am in the process of trying to write 2 books.
Publication is a dream, but writing should be your focus, not what happens once you’re done. The way to become a “great” or even “good” writer is to do it a lot, preferably on a daily basis.
Hope this helps a little: good luck, now start writing!!
