Here’s Exactly What’s Included

The Child’s Play Publishing Package is a done-for-you publishing service designed specifically for picture book authors.

You provide the completed files. We take care of the technical publishing process professionally and strategically.

1. We Provide Your ISBNs and Barcodes

Every book needs an ISBN (International Standard Book Number). It’s the unique identifier for your book.

You need one for each format: paperback, hardcover, ebook.

That’s already three. In the U.S., a single ISBN costs $125.
A bundle of 10 costs $295.

We provide your ISBNs for you.

We’ll also generate your barcodes, ready for your back cover.

No navigating ISBN websites. No confusion. No extra purchases.

2. Strategic Categories and Keywords

Categories and keywords can make or break your book’s discoverability.

If your book isn’t positioned correctly, readers won’t find it.

We use professional tools (including Publisher Rocket) along with our expertise in the children’s book market to select strong, strategic categories and keywords for your book.

This gives your book the best possible chance of being discovered.

The majority of authors we’ve published hit #1 in at least one category.

3. A Professional, Optimised Book Description

When someone clicks on your book, the next thing they read is your description.

The description plays a huge role in whether they buy… or move on.

We craft a professionally optimised, sales-focused book description designed to:

  • Clearly position your book for the right reader
  • Highlight the emotional hook and key benefits
  • Build excitement and trust
  • Encourage action

Because if your cover gets the click, your description needs to close the deal.

4. Full Upload to KDP and IngramSpark

We upload your book to:

• KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing – Amazon)
• IngramSpark (expanded distribution to bookstores and libraries)

All files set up correctly.

All details entered properly.

Everything handled for you.

5. Digital Print Proof Check

Before your book goes live, we carefully check your first digital proof from both platforms.

This helps catch:

  • Formatting issues
  • Margin problems
  • Cover alignment concerns
  • Technical errors

So you can avoid costly or embarrassing mistakes.

6. Five Book Mockups

We also create five beautiful digital book mockups using your cover and interior images.

They’re promotional graphics you can use on:

  • Amazon
  • Social media
  • Your website
  • Marketing materials

They instantly elevate your presentation.

In Simple Terms…

We:
• Provide your ISBNs
• Generate your barcodes
• Strategically choose your categories and keywords
• Write your professional book description
• Upload your book to KDP and IngramSpark
• Check your digital proof
• Create five promotional book mockups

We handle the entire publishing process for you.

You hand us your finished book. We publish it properly.

This is the full investment for the Child’s Play Publishing Package.

Professional publishing companies often charge significantly more for similar services, especially when ISBNs, strategic positioning, and proof checks are included.

  • Highly knowledgeable, professional, and truly delivers results

    My experience of working with the team was exceptional. They guided me through each phase of the project with patience and support. I felt completely at ease throughout the process; there was no anxiety or uncertainty. The team exceeded expectations.

    Thanks to their professionalism and expertise, I successfully published all 3 of my books.

    I also really appreciated the support with categories and keywords, which helped position my book in the right place. The help with uploading to KDP and Ingram Spark was, without a doubt, one of the most valuable parts of the entire service.

    Seeing my book online and available for purchase made me cry. I had dreamed of becoming a children’s picture book author for decades, but it always felt out of reach.

    I would absolutely recommend the Publishing Package. It removes the overwhelm of the publishing process so you can focus on your creativity. The team is highly knowledgeable, professional, and truly delivers results.

  • The quality of service was key to my successful launch

    Purchasing the CBM Publishing Package was a no-brainer for me as a new (and slightly overwhelmed) independent author. It was reassuring to have the professional experience of Karen and her reliable team in my corner. They helped me navigate and acquire the critical technical elements such as ISBNs and keywords, as well as upload my books for publication on KDP and IngramSpark.

    My favorite feature of the package was the delightful book mockups they created, which I regularly use in my publicity. 

    The amount of time this package saved me is immeasurable and the quality of service was key to my successful launch. I highly recommend this investment for any independent author.

  • Quality work, professional team, and excellent price

    I had the pleasure of using the Publishing Package with my first children’s picture book, Percival’s Amazing Adventure. The work was timely and spectacular. I will use your service for ALL my publishing needs!

    The uploading was most helpful, since it’s so stressful, and the mockups were particularly outstanding. Supplying the ISBNs and barcodes is another lovely part of the service.

    I have a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment and pride to see my book published… it is an enormous ‘high’.

    I have recommended you several times and will continue to do so because of the quality work, professional team, and excellent price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes.

Your manuscript and illustrations need to be final (or very close to final), with your interior and cover files ready.

This package is for publishing your completed book, not for editing, illustrating, or revising.

You will need to open your own KDP and IngramSpark accounts, as these must be in your name.

The setup process is straightforward, similar to creating any standard online account, and we’ll guide you on exactly what to do.

Once your accounts are created, we handle the publishing setup for you.

Absolutely.

You retain full ownership of your book, your files, and your rights. The ISBN will also be registeredunder your imprint (publisher) name.

We are simply handling the publishing setup on your behalf.

There are advantages to owning your own ISBNs, including greater control and flexibility. For one, if you use a free KDP ISBN and you publish anywhere else, you’ll have more than one ISBN, which is not ideal.

With this package, your ISBNs are provided for you, so you don’t have to purchase them separately or figure out what you need.

We check your digital proofs carefully before publishing and flag any issues we see.

However, we do not redesign or reformat your files. Your files should already be professionally prepared.

This package focuses on publishing setup.

However, we do strategically choose categories and keywords, and we write a professional, sales-focused book description, both of which support your visibility and sales.

For deeper marketing strategy, we recommend Children’s Book Mastery Bootcamps or Coaching.

Because this is a done-for-you service that begins once we start working on your book, it is non-refundable once work has commenced.
