How do I get a children's book published?
Is it better to submit it to a publishing house? How do I begin the process? Should I try to find independent financial assistance?

I am part of a company that helps individuals publish books. Then you keep all the royalties.
Right now my HubPages is set up to not accept messages - I will have to figure that out ... more soon.
my friend had her children's book published by a self-publishing company - Authorhouse (www.authorhouse.co.uk)
they print on demand (so you don't have to pay for a big print run), sell on her behalf and she also sells it through Amazon
hope that gives you some ideas, and good luck with it : )
Imarsh, the fastest way is to self-publish an ebook. You can do it in a week on Kindle if you have your images and text all ready! Kindle Direct Publishing has some comments on formatting a children's book in its forum at: http://207-171-168-158.amazon.com/kdpfo … dID=13875. Same is true with Nook. It's harder to get into the Applestore for the ipad, so I went to bookbaby.com for help with that conversion. The downside of not going to a publishing house is that you have to do all the promotion, marketing, selling, etc. by yourself. I sell about 5 of my children's ebook a month for Kindle, Nook, iPad, combined by doing nothing. For me, it's having it out there that's important right now. The only way a publishing company will pick up an ebook, from my understanding, is if your book skyrockets in the ebook market. They'll jump onto that bandwagon and create tangible copies.

How do you go about having a book published?I've been looking into publishing companies. I've noticed some want money up front and some don't. What are the steps to publishing? What happens once you submit a manuscript? Does anyone know the step by step process?
