Part Four. What to Expect After Signing a Publishing Contract?

You’ve just received the book layout, and the publisher says it’s ready to go to print.

Awesome, you’re almost there. The book birthday is around the corner and…have you done your homework yet?

What homework? All the stuff I spoke about in part one, two and three, remember?

  • Facebook groups, social media
  • Guest posts
  • Reaching out to media
  • Author blogs
  • Video posts…

Your publisher will probably give you a marketing timeline to follow, so no worries.

This is the last episode for this topic. I’ve got to pull up my sleeves because my debut picture book ‘JURASSIC RAT’ will be released on June 4th, 2019. Yay!

You can pre-order the book here, or on Amazon and Barnes& Noble.

I’ve reserved a few surprises for early birds that pre-order at Spork-Clear fork Publishing.

I’m a nature-loving adventurer and children’s book author/illustrator whose life has been an exhilarating journey. Originally hailing from Ottawa, Canada, I developed a deep fascination for wildlife while chasing after wild animals in the swamps. Although I initially aspired to become a veterinarian, my path took an unexpected turn when I relocated to Italy. In Italy, I pursued my passion for nature by earning a BS in Environmental Sciences and Territorial Management. This educational experience further ignited my love of writing about the natural world and its diverse wildlife. I’m an active member of several professional organizations, including SCBWI, 12x12PB Challenge, ICWA, and the Children’s Book Academy. Constantly seeking growth and connection within the industry, I engage with fellow writers and storytellers. Despite my affinity for all creatures, I humorously admit that my nine cats can be the most challenging animals to handle. When I’m not wrangling my feline friends, I spend my time writing, doodling, playing with clay, gardening, and exploring the enchanting Italian countryside with my husband. I also love preparing homemade pasta, showcasing my culinary skills.
