We have book 1 in the Lorikeet’s Series – Lorikeet’s Garden Breakfast, edited, illustrations completed. Before publishing can take place, there are other tasks to complete.

ISBN: The code to identify each book.

Assign data: All ISBN codes are assigned to the title data. Titles aren’t registered or entered into Books In Print until this is completed.

National Library of Australia: Book is to be registered with this entity.

Research: Check similar genre/books to know what age group, target audience, category and price to note.

BIO: People want to know who wrote the story, brief blurb.

ABN: Apply via government website

Website: To advertise and update book details. Good to have an IT friend to assist with setup. Thank you Scott.

Graphic Artist: The book needs to be set up in a format / file that is publish ready. Individual Cover page and separate manuscript are required in several media options. Evolet Chen, a talented graphic designer agreed to take on this project, she used her design skill to put the story and illustrations into files ready for both print / ebook and Evolet also created the design for the cover page.

Front Cover: Chose an illustration that will draw readers to the book. Example, Book 1. Lawrence leaning over the tray of seeds, giving you the impression he is in charge, while partner Loretta is hiding behind her wing.

Self Publishing / Publishing: Choose a company, upload the book/s, market the book, sit back and breathe!
