28 May E29. A Quick and Comprehensive Guide to Publishing a Children’s Book
Welcome back to The Rebel Maker Podcast. In today’s episode, I’m talking about one of the favorite things I do at Rebel Queen: publishing children’s books.
There has been so much coming up lately as it pertains to children's books. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about this topic, so I decided to do a podcast episode on it. Listen in because we're going to spill the tea on children’s books and I’ll give you a high-level overview of what you need to do to get your children's book written, edited, and published.

Noteworthy quotes from this episode:
“There is something to be said about hiring an illustrator and allowing them some creative freedom. But you still need to give them direction because this is your book.”
