Prissy Little Chloe

I now have a cartoon book series! Last year I got the amazing opportunity to actually call myself an author when I published my first book. It's kind of like calling myself an actor , even though I've only recorded an audiobook and taken one improv class. Anyway, I published Prissy Little Chloe: Time of the Year --a cartoon novel about my rambunctious puppy Chloe and all the insane trouble she gets herself into. At first it may sound like a kids book. It's a cartoon book. Adults like Spongebob, right? As I say in my description: In a clever way, this cartoon novel  teaches  kids (and their parents!) to set out after what they  want  and become  determined  to  never  give up on what you dream about; for if you want something  badly  enough,  no matter the scope  and do  everything  you can to  make it happen , it  will .  And in my NEW description for Prissy Little Chloe: Terrier ...

Easier than writing it  My new children's book " Prissy Little Chloe " is starting out in libraries across Toronto. I'm really excited about that -- namely, it's far easier than I thought it would be! First Contact Once you've gotten your book in print, do a Google search (or your search engine of choice) for any local libraries. On their site under the "Contact Us" tab, you should be able to click on their email address (if it's not hyperlinked to open up in your mail application, simply copy and paste it.) Next, shoot them an email of course! This is sometimes more efficient than a phone call, as it gets redirected to the department that can help you best.  Here's what I say: Hello,  What process does the _____ Library go through to order books? (if you're self-published) Would you consider Amazon-published ______ books? Thank you! or  Hello,  What process does the _____ Library go through ...

 You're going to read this year at some point May as well get an answer.  The eBook craze  They've been going strong for the past 10 years - just in the past 5 years becoming accessible in your pocket, not just through pirating or spam chain mail only. eBook readers read about 25 books a year - and look like they. Having access to all the bestsellers in history, is enticing enough to put out that bookshelf you forgot was in the corner of your office. But what about the feel of flipping just one more page, a few more pages, before you set the paperback aside for the night, because you have to work in five hours. iPads can try to emulate page-turning and it looks cool. But for some, it's not as satisfying. They say they really like the smell of compressed dead trees - for the sake of authenticity. Which is another thing! It costs publishers almost zero, nil, to produce eBooks, after formatting. They're giving everyone the book file ready-to-download. ...

Okay I didn't actually forget to add this post. I'm writing it now. Must be because I'm firing off like a (defective) blogpost-machine gun right now. Oh, right I said I wasn't going to include anymore lame, made-up jokes. Before I lose the couple people I hope don't already think I'm too crazy to read anymore. Right, I guess this is the part where I tell you a little bit about me - which was actually supposed to be my first post. Ok, now that you've lost all confidence in my organization skills, on with it then! My name is Jaden Taylor and I'm eighteen years old. I'm from Toronto, Canada but hope to move to L.A. and get a real job someday. I am an (amateur) artist, writer, photographer, musician, singer, voice over artist, and less-than-amateur cook. I love doing anything that involves the little bit of creativity in my possession. So I use it all up on mindlessly playing computer games. Okay, I do read sometimes and (try) to write. I'm actually ...
