Boastful Brian

I am so elated to say that we are starting on our illustration of Boastful Brian since last week! I adore Tanja's design!

She is also fast to deliver! In a week, she has finished her sketches!

Hopefully, we can publish the book next year Jan/Feb 2024.

Some sneak previews:

But the real works start after publishing. *Sour smiles*

It has been a tedious road to marketing my first book. I believe if 2-3 of my other books in the series are out there, more people will take note of my books and me as an author.

I am disheartened by the low sales of Ailing Abby. But I think positively. Other authors had also had the same road that I am doing now before they became well-known. So, why give up now? Besides, I still have 25 more books to publish.

Lately, I found that some authors have used Kickstarter to fund their book campaigns. So I wonder how it works, and if I can succeed too. I saw one Kickstarter.sg, but few are doing publishing campaigns. And most of them have amazing stories to start their campaigns, while I have none. I guess this road is not easy either.

I am adamant about publishing my series, even if others were to tell me to stop. I wanted people to know about these cute stories, to find them educational, and to guide them to teach the children. And I do feel that they are worth publishing. Maybe I just need to make them more kid-entertaining and attractive. Time to get more beta readers and editors!

For now, even if I am on a budget, I will do my best to publish. Even if it means publishing only this 'An Alphabet Series of Animals'. Budget-wise, I will just have to find some ways to get the funds from. Kickstarter is one way. Or, get a job. Haha.
