Frequently Asked Questions

YOUR QUESTIONS - ANSWERED

I'm in the Little Ivory Haus Community and I'd like to ask you a question

I'd love to help! Please post your question in our private online community and I will get back to you ASAP. If your question is about billing or something you don't wish to post in the community, please feel free to email me.

How much does it cost to publish a book?

As much or as little as you're comfortable with. You could essentially publish a book for free if you wanted to (but it's not what I recommend!)
Little Ivory Haus Authors usually have a budget of anywhere between $1000 and $10,000 for their project.
There are plenty of options to make it work to suit whatever your budget is.

Do I need to hire an Illustrator?

Unless you’re an artist, ideally... yes!
A professional illustrator helps bring your vision to life. A picture book tells the story in pictures as much as it does with words.
But the good news is that there are plenty of options to suit, no matter what your budget is.

And if your next question is "Should I use AI to illustrate my book"... my answer is a firm "No!"

Apart from the consistency, moral and copyright dilemma, using AI (for any part of your book) can greatly limit your book's opportunities.

So why not set your book up for success from the beginning!

How long does it take to publish a book?

The timeline for self-publishing a children's picture book can vary depending on factors like illustration time, editing, and printing choices, but if you need to work to a timeline, you could certainly get yours done in less than 60 days - plenty of our Little Ivory Haus Authors do.

What's the difference between Little Ivory Haus and a "vanity publisher"?

The difference between working with me and hiring a vanity publisher is about $10,000!

But cost aside, a vanity publisher takes your money and handles everything for you, often with hidden fees, overpriced printing and very little transparency.

In the end, you likely won't own your files, or the rights to your own book and your profits are slim.

Can you publish my book for me?

I could but I would much rather empower you with the knowledge and tools so that you can take control of your publishing journey.

Publishing books is addictive, I prefer to empower you with knowledge and teach you a skill for life.
