I finally decided to dream big. ⭐ Working on my own picture book and growing confidence.
In this video I am chatting about how I decided to publish my own books and my plans going forward. I am currently working on bird book which I started in May of this year. For the longest time I thought I need to have an agent to be successful and achieve my dreams of publishing. It turned out I am most happy when I can turn my passion into reality planning and working on art in my own way and sharing journey with you all.In second part of the video I am answering to some of your questions. Thank you all!
It would be amazing if you could give this video thumbs up so it can reach more people here on KZread. All the comments are much appreciated, thank you! I try to answer to as many I can. :)

As someone who has gotten into the industry I can tell you that I say all the time that it is so difficult! And I really really think that your self-published books will do amazing! Just spend the time on the quality to match your beautiful illustrations!!!! I know I will buy one. I've loved your art for forever and you should have been picked up ages ago :)
Green Woodpecker! I appreciate all you share. Keep dreaming big!
Green Woodpecker. The book sounds so exciting. It is very calming watching you paint. xx

Thank you Jenns! That is great idea - to do more preorders beforehand.💡 Kickstarter will be something like that. Merry Christmas! ❤

Yes I mentioned that I haven’t done preorders for zines in the past, Kickstarter will help me financially to order books beforehand and it will work like preorders as that will be first place I will sell them.
