Writing A Children’s Picture Book Just Got Easier

LOS ANGELES - Aug. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- With children’s books being one of the most popular genres in the world of book sales, aspiring authors who want to join the likes of JK Rowling and other popular children’s writers can now start on their road to success by getting their kid’s book concept kick-started at Authr.com. The online crowd funding, marketing and book sales platform recently launched its children’s book program to help clients through the process of planning, story and character development, and illustration all the way through promotion, pre-sales and crowd funding at the Authr.com site.

Since children’s books are highly visual, the program includes character illustration and cover artwork created by a team of professional illustrators responsible for the artwork and character development on nearly 80% of the top selling children's pictures books on the market today. Clients that sign up will be assigned a project manager that will work with them to get their book from concept to creation. For anyone who may be feeling overwhelmed by how to start writing their book, the program offers a free planning worksheet to help writers define book characters and plot.

Erik Bowman, best-selling author and founder of Authr.com says, “Writing a children’s book is important for so many of our clients and aspiring writers who want to leave a legacy for their own families. I hear all the time how parents and grandparents have a story they told the kids when they were young. And many of us adults still remember our favorite stories that grandma used to share before bedtime. These are priceless memories that we hope to help preserve and share with other readers to enjoy.”

 Writers can choose to publish directly through the program or use another publisher. In either case, Authr.com provides access to its crowd funding and sales platform, giving authors a tool to market their book and raise funds to help offset costs for the project through crowd funding as well as book pre-sales and ongoing promotion after publishing.

Pricing for the program is $875 and installment payment plans are available. More information can be found at: http://authr.com/childrenspicturebooks.php.
