🎧 Happy Children's Book Marketing Monday!

This week's episode is a little different because I'm taking you behind the scenes of my own journey as a children's book author and illustrator!

I sat down for an interview where we talked about how Doppy started as a little clay character I created when I was 11... and how I eventually turned that childhood idea into my full-time children's book business.

We talk about self-publishing, illustrating, marketing, imposter syndrome, what I've learned along the way, and even what I wish I would've done differently with my very first book.

If you're working toward turning your own children's books into something bigger, I think you'll really enjoy this one!
