Prissy Little Chloe

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 ...

Done in days! The decision made I've always loved to create children's books. When I was in primary school, I never spoke to anyone. I had just changed schools in first grade and was super bored with the idea of learning to speak French. So I would sit at my desk, take out a manilla paper notebook that I got from the whole stack on my teacher's desk - they were for the kids anyway, she just hadn't given them out yet - and draw Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog comics. They were advanced, witty humour; not the gross-out kind, most six year old kids find funny. The kind of humour that was ... book material. I wish I could still find them. When I wouldn't talk in school, I would come home and start running while screaming down the place. Yep, problems from early on. My mom couldn't believe why the school board thought I was mute. Art was my outlet. The year was 2003 and my mom told me I need to get a children's book out there.  Fast-forward 13 odd yea...
