Yay! I'm so glad my video helped you! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

Hi! If it's in addition to the other illustrations then you're definitely ok! Plus on top of that you altered it as well. Yep you are good 👍

Hee hee thanks!

Yay!! Thank you so much!!

You're so welcome!! ❤️

OMG that's SO cool!!! I dabbled in stained glass a little bit! I even have the supplies at home! But I never have time to do it anymore. Some day I hope I can pick it back up!

Oh I got your email and replied there, but the way I would personally do it is with Photoshop Actions (run a resize action on all images). I never resize anything in Procreate because (unfortunately) Procreate is horrible at resizing, things always end up blurry. Photoshop is the way to go for resizing.

Hi! Thanks so much, I'm so glad you like my video! What are you aiming to do in Scribus / what is your end goal (so I know how to structure the tutorial)?

​@@HeatherCashArt I would like to publish a picture book. Currently, I am using Canva, but IngramSpark always complains about some "transfer curves" in the pdf I downloaded from Canva. I tried to use Scribus, but Scribus is very complex. There are good tutorials for formatting novels, but I have not found any useful material for picture books with bleeds yet. It would be a lifesaver if you could make a tutorial using the same book as in the Sigil video as an example. Thank you for your videos, they help me a lot!

@bcs-xq9hm oh, well the only thing you need to do to fix that curves error is to save your PDF as a PDF-X. I use Adobe Acrobat to do that. I have a tutorial on it! This will fix it: ua-cam.com/video/bGzJ7_Vj9Is/v-deo.html

@@HeatherCashArt I checked out your Adobe Acrobat tutorial; thank you! I do not have a subscription, but I will use a trial to solve this problem for now. However, it would be great if you could make a Scribus tutorial video anyway. I believe Scribus can also save files as PDF-X, and I have found very positive reviews of this software on the Internet. Thank you! Bori

You're so welcome, so glad you like it!!

Yay!!!

Oh no! You can try these email addresses: heather@heathercash.com heathercashart@gmail.com raspberryh@gmail.com

It is ready to upload! Just make sure you select "flatten" when exporting.

@@HeatherCashArt Awesome, thank you

Hi! My final page size (aka trim size) is 8.25x8.25. So the dimensions of each page as files will be 8.5 high by 8.365 wide to account for bleed. You can see an explanation in the previous video of this series (page layout in Photoshop) and you can also check out my video "what is bleed?" The front and back cover are not pages. They will be a separate PDF. Check out the video from this same series where I walk you through creating the cover. 🙂

Thank you! I'm so glad!! 💕

Yay I'm so glad you like it!! Thank you so much!

Thank you!!

I'm so glad, thank you so much! 💕

Thank you I'm so glad you liked it!

Are you getting minimum 72 page error? Or 75? Or another error?

@@HeatherCashArt 75

@@netashla that's different, that's the hardcover book error. Hardcover books have a minimum page requirement of 75. So you either need to change to paperback, or add more pages to your book.

@@HeatherCashArt I guess I just don’t understand the difference. It seems that you are able to publish under 75 pp, if i understand correctly..? What’s the difference between the 72 and 75 pp notice. By the way I really appreciate your help. It’s not as easy to find it elsewhere online, so thank you!

@@netashla You can publish under 75 pages if it's a paperback book. But if you are getting the 75 page error, then you have selected hardcover, because for hardcover books KDP has the minimum requirement that the book has to be at least 75 pages. So rather than publishing a hardcover book, you'll need to switch to paperback.

Hi! I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you using Photoshop to lay out your book? If so, then you would edit and format it in Photoshop.

Sent you an email

Yay!! I'm so glad you like my videos! Thank you so much for joining my club!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi! Check out this video! ua-cam.com/video/p3M7X0GaRgA/v-deo.html Hope that helps!

You'll still need to cut it in half for the PDF, but then if it's perfectly in the middle of the book, the two halves will be printed next to each other to create one piece, if that makes sense.

Oh that is a great tip!!! Thanks so much!!

Awesome! I'm so glad you like my videos! Yes you can change the cover after it's approved! You'll just click the 3 dots next to the book in your bookshelf, and select "edit content" and you can upload a new cover 🙂

@@HeatherCashArt thank you soooo much🙏🏽

@@HeatherCashArt I wanted to give you a big thank you for that little push you gave me to publish/ upload. I was watching another from another person and they were saying do not do certain kinds of books - activities , coloring books because everyone is doing them. Same day I was on your page and saw a video and basically you said just do it, of course your going to make mistakes but you’ll learn from it and get better. Something like that. Of course anything you do that’s new is scary that’s where faith comes in. I’m excited for this adventure Thanks again.

@@BebeNow oh my gosh I'm so glad!! Congrats on publishing, yes it's true you just have to do it! You can always find a million reasons why you shouldn't do something, for any project! The people who are successful don't listen to that negativity and they just do it anyways 🙂❤️ Great job!!!

You're so very welcome ☺️

Yay!! Thank you!!

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it!

Hi! Yes you do need to break your spreads up into single pages. And yes you're right, if you just upload a PDF with all your pages then you will have one by itself at the beginning and it will throw all the others off. So you will need to add a blank page (or title page, copyright page, just any page really) at the beginning so it can be that first page that's all by itself. Then the rest will match up properly. Hope that helps! Heather

So, do you have it working now as a paperback?

@@HeatherCashArt yes.. so here’s what I did. I originally created the entire book by using a project and then when I watched your video, you said the thing about going to the top right corner to create custom size, put in your numbers so I wonder if that’s my problem, and if I need to drop and drag my entire book over to a new template. What I tried to do was go into my project and re-size it to the numbers that I picked obviously when it uploaded there no bigger than an inch probably LOL on the screen.

@@godsgirl38357 I would probably just resize the document instead of copy and pasting over to a new project. When you export, are you selecting PDF Print, check the box for Flatten PDF, and make sure you DON'T check "Crop Marks & Bleed"?

You're so welcome!

Hi! If you use Magic Studio then you are using AI, which is whole other thing - I have a video on it, "Can I use AI for my children's book?" For illustration credit, you would just leave that part out. You don't want to say you illustrated it because that would mean you drew the illustrations by hand. You can just say "story by" or "written by". Hope that helps!

Hi! In the color swatches panel, do you see a little swatch that looks like it's rainbow?

Yay!! You're so welcome!!

You're welcome!

Thank you!!! ❤️😻

Thank you so much Pat!

Aw thank you so much!

Then that's ok, just don't check the box, and Amazon will generate the barcode for you 🙂

Yay, I'm so glad! 💕

Hi! I don't really have children's book drawing tutorials because there are so many great ones out there! But I do have this series where I illustrate a children's book from start to finish: Cover to Cover Series: ua-cam.com/play/PLfwRTvxmUwGyHMSybzdyswpVU3dYohKVH.html You can also check out Genevieve, Lisa Glanz, and Bardot Brush for some great drawing tutorials!

Thank you so much!!

You're welcome ☺️

There's a free version but it does have a Wix banner across the top of the page. The light plan (removes the banner) is $17/mo, but if you want e-commerce you'll need to do the $29/mo or $36/mo plan
