I’ve been researching childrens book publishers near me while trying to understand the best way to approach children’s book publishing for a first project. There are so many options like traditional publishers, hybrid services, and self-publishing support that it’s getting confusing to know which ones actually help with illustrations, editing, and distribution. Has anyone here worked with local children’s book publishers and can share what worked best in terms of support, cost, and getting a book properly noticed by readers?
