Children's Book Printing & Self-Publishing Services

Children's books are typically printed using either Print on Demand services or traditional publishing. While you may have many options when it comes to the design and features of your book, some publishers do require a high minimum page count – up to 75 pages in some cases.

When you choose to do your children’s book self publishing and printing with BookBaby, you'll have plenty of options in choosing how you'll bring your story to life. Choose from either a hardcover or softcover (paperback) book, a variety of paper stock options, and your choice of trim size and binding options. Additionally, our minimum page requirement is only 24 pages – whereas you'll find that other children's book publishing platforms have a 75-page minimum for children's books! We ensure that our printers use premium ink so that your illustration comes out crystal clear.

You can begin the process for printing your book today by scheduling an appointment with one of our Publishing Specialists, or by giving us a call at 1-877-961-6878.

Self-publishing children's book doesn't have to be hard – it just depends on the route you want to take. The traditional publishing road might be a bit more arduous. You're essentially at the mercy of literary agents or publishers who receive thousands of submissions in the same genre every day. And if you do end up getting signed with a traditional publisher, you might have to forego some creative control of your work.

However, when you self-publish your children's book, you get to remain in complete control of the entire printing and publishing process. And when you self-publish with BookBaby, you'll get everything you need for your book, all under one roof.
