I finally have complete copies of my first attempt at writing a children’s book. I had to go to a local printer, Bailey Printing, to complete the job since the first publisher I tried totally blew it. My advice to anyone considering self-publishing is to write your book, hire an illustrator, an editor, a graphic designer, a local book printer and market the book yourself.
But I now have a supply of “Ava Meet’s A Gnome”. It’s a nice little book in full color with a laminated cover and it’s a fun read. I recommend it for children up to maybe age 10 because it is designed to stimulate a child’s imagination. The book is about a little girl named Ava who imagines a Garden Gnome into becoming real and then sets about with many wonderful adventures.
The book is available at Nancy B’s House of Lights in Charlottesville for $18 or I can mail copies ($20 each includes postage) and send them directly to you. I accept checks, of course, or Venmo. Send the Venmo payment to my user name, @Jim-Brewer-44, and I’ll send the signed books out immediately. My email address is j44brewer@gmail.com.
Thanks, Jim
