  is
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  give
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  a
• 0:38
  look
• 0:38
  behind
• 0:38
  the
• 0:39
  curtain
• 0:39
  as
• 0:39
  an
• 0:40

  author.
• 0:42
  As
• 0:42
  a
• 0:43
  children's
• 0:43
  book
• 0:43
  author,
• 0:44
  I'll
• 0:44
  take
• 0:44
  you
• 0:45
  behind
• 0:45
  the
• 0:45
  scenes
• 0:46
  where
• 0:46
  for
• 0:46
  most
• 0:47
  children's
• 0:47

  authors
• 0:48
  it's
• 0:48
  not
• 0:49
  a
• 0:49
  hobby,
• 0:49
  it's
• 0:50
  a
• 0:50
  way
• 0:50
  of
• 0:50
  life.
• 0:51
  As
• 0:51
  I
• 0:52
  pull
• 0:52
  back
• 0:52
  the
• 0:52
  curtain,
• 0:53
  you'll
• 0:53
  begin
• 0:54
  to
• 0:54
  realize
• 0:54
  you
• 0:55
  need
• 0:55
  to
• 0:55
  put
• 0:55
  your
• 0:56
  money
• 0:56
  where
• 0:57
  your
• 0:57
  words
• 0:57
  are.
• 0:58
  Unless

  you

• 1:02
  route,
• 1:02
  you
• 1:03
  will
• 1:03
  invest
• 1:04
  or
• 1:04
  spend
• 1:05
  your
• 1:05
  funds
• 1:05
  going
• 1:06
  down
• 1:06
  the
• 1:06
  published
• 1:07
  book
• 1:07
  author's
• 1:08
  path.
• 1:08
  It
• 1:09
  depends
• 1:09
  on
• 1:10
  how
• 1:10
  you
• 1:10
  define
• 1:11
  your
• 1:12
  outlay
• 1:12
  of
• 1:12
  funds.
• 1:13
  There's
• 1:14
  a
• 1:14
  very
• 1:14
  good
• 1:14
  chance
• 1:15
  that
• 1:15
  as
• 1:15
  a
• 1:15
  children's
• 1:16
  book
• 1:16
  authority,
• 1:17
  it
• 1:17
  is
• 1:17
  not
• 1:17
  for

  fame
• 1:18
  or

• 1:29
  or

  a

  hobby
• 1:30
  or
• 1:31
  your

  dream,
• 1:32
  it's
• 1:32
  not
• 1:32
  too
• 1:33
  late,
• 1:33
  not

• 1:34
  egotistical,

• 1:39
  on

  your

  creativity.
• 1:41
  With

• 1:43
  interviews,
• 1:44
  I've
• 1:44
  noticed
• 1:45
  some
• 1:45
  trends
• 1:45
  in
• 1:46
  children's
• 1:46
  book
• 1:47
  authorship
• 1:47
  and
• 1:48
  publishing
• 1:49
  that
• 1:49
  I
• 1:49
  would
• 1:49
  love
• 1:50
  to
• 1:50
  share.
• 1:51
  When
• 1:51
  I
• 1:51
  co
• 1:51
  wrote
• 1:52
  our
• 1:52
  first
• 1:53
  children's
• 1:53
  book,
• 1:54
  the
• 1:54
  Adventures

• 1:56
  with

  my
• 1:57
  oldest
• 1:57
  granddaughter
• 1:58
  and
• 1:58
  published
• 1:59
  it,
• 1:59
  I
• 2:00
  thought
• 2:00
  of

  myself

  as

  a

• 2:03
  only
• 2:03
  to

  was
• 2:04
  an
• 2:05
  indie
• 2:05
  published
• 2:06
  book
• 2:06
  author.
• 2:07
  What's
• 2:08
  the
• 2:08
  difference
• 2:08
  between
• 2:08
  an
• 2:09

• 2:09

• 2:10
  or
• 2:10
  a
• 2:10
  self
• 2:10
  published
• 2:11
  book
• 2:11
  author?
• 2:12
  There
• 2:12
  are
• 2:12
  multiple
• 2:13
  differences.
• 2:14
  However,
• 2:14
  for
• 2:15
  the
• 2:15
  purpose

  of

  this

  I
• 2:18
  will
• 2:18
  focus
• 2:18
  on

  the
• 2:19
  most

  significant
• 2:20
  difference.

  Being

  an

• 4:29
  was
• 4:30
  a
• 4:30
  matter
• 4:30
  of

  happenstance.
• 4:31
  I

  wrote

  two

  business
• 4:32
  books
• 4:33
  and
• 4:33
  came
• 4:33
  across
• 4:34
  a

  who
• 4:35
  is

  This

  person's

  are

  diverse

  and
• 4:44
  I
• 4:44
  utilized
• 4:44
  them
• 4:45
  to
• 4:46
  help
• 4:46
  me
• 4:46
  create
• 4:47
  an

  indie
• 4:47
  publishing
• 4:48

• 4:49
  The

  reason
• 4:50
  being,
• 4:51
  if

  I

  couldn't

• 4:54
  then

  self
• 4:55
  publishing
• 4:56
  was
• 4:56
  the
• 4:56
  only
• 4:57
  way.
• 4:57
  I
• 4:58
  didn't
• 4:58
  know
• 4:58
  some
• 4:59
  companies
• 5:00
  specialized
• 5:00
  in
• 5:01
  hybrid
• 5:02
  publishing
• 5:03
  services.
• 5:03
  By
• 5:04
  the
• 5:04
  time
• 5:04
  I
• 5:04
  learned
• 5:04
  of
• 5:05
  these
• 5:05
  hybrid
• 5:05
  services,
• 5:06
  I
• 5:07
  realized
• 5:07
  I
• 5:08
  could
• 5:08
  go
• 5:08
  it
• 5:08
  alone
• 5:09
  as
• 5:09
  a

  book
• 5:10

  book
• 5:14
  publishing.
• 5:15
  Okay
• 5:15
  Rick,
• 5:16
  you
• 5:16
  might
• 5:16
  be
• 5:17
  asking
• 5:17
  what
• 5:18
  is
• 5:18
  the
• 5:18
  best
• 5:18
  way
• 5:18
  to
• 5:19
  go
• 5:19
  about
• 5:19
  publishing
• 5:20
  my
• 5:20
  children's
• 5:21
  book?
• 5:21
  Great
• 5:22
  question.
• 5:22
  I
• 5:23
  might
• 5:23
  have
• 5:23
  mentioned
• 5:23
  before.
• 5:24
  As

  If

  the

  you

  can

  is

  all

  to

• 6:04
  The

  I

  I'm

• 6:16
  As

  I've
• 6:17
  mentioned
• 6:17
  before,
• 6:18
  indie

• 6:25
  You,

  as
• 6:26
  a
• 6:26
  children's
• 6:27

• 6:27
  author
• 6:28
  must

  have

  committed

  to

  authorship
• 6:32
  as

  a

  of

• 6:34
  My
• 6:34
  preference
• 6:35
  is
• 6:35
  for
• 6:35
  you
• 6:35
  to

  take
• 6:36
  on
• 6:36
  more
• 6:36
  responsibility
• 6:37
  Learn
• 6:38
  to

  the

  funds
• 6:44
  you

  by

  not
• 6:45
  using

  so

  you

  can

  invest

  more
• 6:48
  money
• 6:48

• 6:52
  However,

  I'm
• 6:53
  not

  saying
• 6:53
  there's
• 6:54
  a

  right
• 6:54
  or

  a

  You

• 7:35
  again,
• 7:36
  you
• 7:36
  might
• 7:36
  say,
• 7:36
  Rick,
• 7:37
  what's
• 7:37
  in
• 7:37
  it
• 7:38
  for
• 7:38
  you?
• 7:38
  I
• 7:39
  hope
• 7:39
  that

  my

• 7:46
  Has
• 7:47
  that
• 7:47
  happened,
• 7:47
  you
• 7:47
  might
• 7:48
  ask?
• 7:48
  It
• 7:48
  has
• 7:49
  been
• 7:49
  moderately
• 7:50
  successful,
• 7:52
  but
• 7:53
  certainly
• 7:53
  not
• 7:53
  large
• 7:54
  enough
• 7:54
  to
• 7:55
  cover

  show.
• 8:00
  Why
• 8:00
  do
• 8:00
  it
• 8:01
  then,
• 8:01
  you
• 8:01
  might
• 8:01
  ask?
• 8:02
  I
• 8:02
  have
• 8:02
  one
• 8:03
  underlying
• 8:03
  belief
• 8:04
  it
• 8:04
  takes
• 8:05
  10
• 8:05
  years
• 8:05
  to
• 8:06
  become
• 8:06
  an
• 8:06
  overnight
• 8:07
  success.
• 8:08
  If
• 8:08
  people
• 8:09
  see
• 8:09
  I'm

  committed
