A good children’s book is a tool for learning, laughter, and lifelong memory. Barnes and Noble Self Publish helps bring your children’s story to life with heart, imagination, and strategy. Whether it’s a bedtime classic in the making or a message-driven tale with emotional depth, our team knows how to turn a simple idea into a beautifully written, professionally illustrated book that young readers (and their parents) will cherish.
Many of our children’s book authors aren’t “career writers.” They’re parents, teachers, grandparents, coaches, creatives. People with something beautiful to share. If you have a story in your heart, we’ll help shape it into something timeless. Our team supports you every step of the way in the writing, editing, illustrating, and publishing phase to create a book that feels like magic to young readers and is meaningful to you.

“As a parent, I wanted to write something meaningful for my daughter. As an author, I wanted it to feel professional. They delivered on both.”
“Barnes and Noble Self Publish understood the message I wanted to teach kids and helped me express it clearly, visually, and beautifully.”
“This isn’t just a publishing service. It’s a team that cares about children’s books as much as you do.”
Nope. We’ve got an in-house team of illustrators who specialize in children’s books. We’ll match their style to your vision.
Of course. Many of our authors are first-timers. Whether you’ve written nothing or a rough draft, we’ll help build a polished, age-appropriate story together.
Most projects take 8–12 weeks, depending on length and illustration detail. We’ll give you a custom timeline during your consultation.
Will my book be available in print and digital?
