Children's Book Publishing Guide™
From concept to classroom — how to publish a children's book that sells and lasts.
This guide helps you identify the right age range and format for your children's book — from board books to middle grade — so your story reaches the readers it was written for. We cover illustration sourcing: where to find artists, what to budget, and how to maintain creative control over your vision. You'll get an overview of Little Hibiscus Books™, RRC's dedicated children's publishing imprint, and what it means to publish under an established brand with editorial support. We also break down how to get your book into school libraries, retail channels, and online marketplaces with a distribution strategy built for long-term sales.
