How do you self publish a children’s book?

The basic idea is you do a manuscript in a popular word processor format, and you can make it accessible online, so that it’s downloadable and shareable, like you would share a document.  Then you start to promote the book online, and in this case there are a lot of services and companies that help people do that for a fee.  And eventually, if the book takes off, the publisher will have it printed as a physical book, and a number of different services will help you with things like book tours and product launches.  But getting an agent or publisher for your book is a very difficult step, that requires a lot of experience.

Again, that’s a complicated question, and it really depends on what you mean by “top publisher”.  If you’re talking about an established publisher, then you’re looking at a big New York publishing house.  There’s a lot of these, and they have names like Random House, Penguin, Harper Collins, and Scholastic.   But if you’re talking about a publisher who has a new imprint for authors who are less well known, there are a lot of them.  Some big ones are Lulu, Smashwords, Createspace, and Amazon.   And then there are a lot of others.   There’s also Amazon Publishing, which will offer a traditional publisher-like set of services for authors, but you wouldn’t go with them for your first novel.

There are not a lot of publishers for brand-new authors who haven’t published anything else before.
