Bespoke children's book printing

There are a number decisions you can make around features and finishes regarding size, paper type, binding, and covers.

There are no strict rules regarding size either. For example, if your target market is 0-7 years-old, then a larger size – A4 or medium square – is commonly used.  This size offers plenty of space for large, vibrant illustrations and oversized text making it easier for the young children to engage. If you are aiming at slightly older, junior market (7– 12 years-old), then perhaps A5 novel-style size is more appropriate – these are still effective with illustrations and images, but better suited for text only books.

The different formats recommended for children’s books are mainly square, perfect bound with a silk finish, square hardback, or alternatively, stapled landscape option.

Self publishing a children's book

Self-publishing your children’s book is a great option and there are some simple steps to consider if going down this route:

Print set-up

Once you have written your book you will need to create a print ready pdf

Editing Your Book

Whilst it is recommended to have a third-party proof-read and perhaps help edit your book – a fresh pair of eyes unfamiliar with the content can provide good results.

When editing the content ensure that the story plot has a clear structure, is believable and is easy for a child to follow.

Illustrations

Most children’s books will feature illustrations. If you choose to use stock images, ensure that they are royalty-free for reproduction or you purchase the necessary licenses.
