Why Partner with Hope Books to Publish Your Picture Book?
A Proven Publishing Process
We have honed our process to ensure quality and efficiency, guiding you step-by-step from idea development to a hardcover book in just six months. With over 40 published titles, we know what works, and we’re committed to helping you every step of the way.
Â
One-on-One Guidance with Team Members
You’ll work closely with our editorial team, lead illustrator, and publishing specialists to create a book that aligns perfectly with your vision. From refining your story to creating compelling illustrations, you’ll have direct access to experienced professionals who will help you make informed decisions at each stage.
Personalized Feedback and Support
As one of our founding cohort authors, you’ll receive exclusive, hands-on attention and personalized feedback. This ensures your book is of the highest quality, captures the essence of your story, and truly stands out.
Complete Creative Collaboration
Our approach is collaborative—you’re not just an author; you’re an active partner in the process. You’ll be involved in key decisions, from character development to the final illustrations, to ensure that the book truly represents your vision.
Exclusive Author Discount on Unlimited Copies
Once your book is published, you’ll have the opportunity to order as many author copies as you’d like at a special author discount, making it easy to share your story with more readers, gift it to schools, or sell it at events.
Your Book Featured Across Multiple Platforms
Your picture book will be featured not only in our Hope Books Store but also on our online platform and at our annual Hope Story Conference, giving it valuable exposure to a wider audience. This includes professional marketing support to ensure your book launch is impactful and far-reaching.
Marketing and Launch Support
In addition to creating your book, we help you plan and execute a launch campaign that gets your book noticed. From building your launch team to reaching early readers, we provide strategies and support to give your book the best chance for success.
High-Quality Hardcover Printing
Your book will be professionally printed as a hardcover edition, ensuring durability, quality, and a premium experience for readers. We take pride in delivering books that are beautifully bound and crafted to last.
Author Community and Networking
By joining the founding cohort, you become part of a select group of authors who are on the same journey. You’ll have the opportunity to network, collaborate, and share experiences with like-minded authors, creating valuable relationships that can extend beyond this program.
A Fast-Track to Becoming a Published Author
The entire program is designed to fast-track your path to becoming a published author, all while maintaining quality and providing a memorable experience. In just six months, you’ll hold your hardcover book in your hands—ready to inspire readers.
A 50/50 Royalty Split
As part of the Hope Books family, you’ll receive a 50/50 royalty rate, meaning that you keep 50% of the profit on each sale of your book. We believe in fair compensation for authors, and this transparent royalty split ensures that you benefit from every sale.
