Self-publishing Children's Books: Self-publish w/PowerPoint

Note: I remember nothing about this course except that it is short and poorly rated.  I’m publishing it so that I can distribute it for free to my existing Udemy students.  I believe this course still has a lot to offer.  Please do not buy this course expecting my best information on self-publishing children’s books.  Instead, become a student via another course and get this one for free ;-).

This is a course for Brian Jackson completists ;-).

Note that this course is severely out of date.  I provide it only for completeness of my course catalog.  This course is for Brian Jackson completists only.

Hello and welcome to the course.

This is a course about self-publishing children’s books using Microsoft PowerPoint and the Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) free web-based interface for publishing Amazon books.

In this course I’ll teach you how to self-publish a children’s book in Kindle eBook and Print on Demand (POD) paperback format and how to place your book on sale on Amazon alongside the greats like Rowlings, Dahl and E. B White.

In this course you’ll learn to:

1. Use Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 to Layout Your Picture Book

2. Use Kindle Kid’s Book Creator to Annotate Your eBook with Pop-up Text

3. Use Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) to Publish Your Picture Book on Amazon

4. Use KDP to Publish Your Print on Demand (POD) Paperback on Amazon

Of course, there is more, lots more, but the rest is in the course…

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
