Premiere Print On Demand Package for Children’s Books
All the editorial expertise, creative guidance and publishing know-how of Blue Balloon Books is now available for authors seeking a guided, professional approach to Print on Demand publishing for children’s books.
When you complete the Blue Balloon Books Premiere POD process, you will have a well-written, beautifully-illustrated, high-quality children’s book that can be available for sale everywhere books are sold.
Whether you’re starting with a blank page and an idea, or you have a fully illustrated and written manuscript, Blue Balloon Books will help you get your book out into the world.
Editorial and Manuscript Development
Whether you have a cute idea, notes for a story, or a fully fleshed-out manuscript, our talented writers and editors will help you perfect your manuscript.
We offer all levels of editing: Ghostwriting, line editing, copy editing, proofreading: Every project is different, so we’ll make editing recommendations based on your needs.
Professional Design
Our bank of talented artists will create illustrations exactly as you envision them: Life-like characters, fantasy worlds, watercolors, graphical images, cartoons—whatever your vision, our illustrators will bring it to life.
We will provide you with artist portfolios and sample drawings so you can choose the best illustrator for your project. You and your production editor will communicate that vision to the illustrator, allowing for unlimited back and forth and tweaks, until the characters and imagery are exactly as you imagine them.
Again, anything created is completely owned by you, the author.
High-Quality Production
Blue Balloon Books publishes and distributes in all sizes and formats: Our books come in hardcover, softcover, ebooks and even audio. We use state-of-the art printing presses and processes, and our books are of the highest physical quality.
