[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here: I'm deciding between Ingram Spark and KDP [/quote]

You need to do both: KDP for Amazon distribution and IS for everywhere else. Yes, IS will distribute to Amazon, but they ship very slowly for those sales and routinely show books out of stock.

Has the book gone through multiple rounds of editing? Can you afford a professional illustrator? Do you have library and school contacts for marketing? I am a huge proponent of self-publishing, but children's books are a different breed.[/quote]

I can't answer these questions without outing myself, but it's a very niche type of work. My friend like it. I don't even know where to start shipping to editors honestly. [/quote]

Trust me, you won't out yourself, but ok.

Point is, if you're going to do it on your own, you need to make sure the book resembles the traditional alternative as much as possible. That means editing, professional artwork, your own ISBN, etc. [/quote]
