Create Your First Children's Book
Hi, Chris here, I’ve helped many authors create and publish their first children’s book. I have a process that works. Below, I touch on some of my why-it-works guideposts. And to give you a view from the author's angle, I've sprinkled in a few client testimonials. Tap the cover images to follow a link to the author's sale page on Amazon. 
Chris has been wonderful to work with on this project. He helped to guide me through the illustrations through publishing process. It felt like he really enjoyed the project in the way he captured the characters. Highly recommend Chris and I hope to work with him on future projects. -Rita B. Accomplish Your Dream What do you want to accomplish with your book? I help authors navigate the creative journey and have some fun in the process. The outcome is a special, amazing book that friends and family will treasure, cherished by grandchildren and great-grandchildren—a legacy lifeline that stays in the family forever. 
Chris Hammond is the epitome of a consummate professional. Chris made sure to understand the message I was trying to convey in my story and did a wonderful job depicting it through his illustrations. In addition, Chris was able to produce a design of the main character that could not have been more spot on, I am extremely satisfied with the depiction of our character. He always communicated his ideas with me and made sure to keep me involved throughout the whole design process. He took extra time in making sure I was comfortable with everything he was showing me and made sure I understood all the steps we had to take in putting the book together. I cannot stress how efficient and organized he was throughout the collaboration. He presented a timeline of everything that needed to be done from day one, and never missed a deadline he set out to accomplish. Chris' knowledge of the entire publishing process allowed for a seamless publication of my book that would have otherwise hit costly and time consuming road blocks. I am extremely happy with all of the contributions that Chris Hammond is responsible for in the creation of this book. -Santiago R. Publishing Your Book I self-publish my own books, but I do not publish books for other authors. However, I am happy to assist authors with self-publishing their book. Whether you are publishing your book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble Press, or IngramSpark, I can help ensure that the publishing process goes smoothly. If there are any issues, I'm here to troubleshoot. I will support you every step of the way until your book is published and available on the platform's sales page. 
Chris was amazing to work with! He was extremely helpful and talented. As a first time author he not only designed a beautiful book, but helped give valuable suggestions and feedback. I would highly recommend working with Chris. -Laura R. What to Expect Our project is a true collaboration and a no-rush learning experience. There is a lot to consider and a lot to learn. But it's plain talk, short and sweet, no jargon, and no overload. We begin by discussing what you have done so far, your challenges, and questions. Our discussion results in a customized, flexible project roadmap that pinpoints what you can expect along the way.
