"Mom, read me another bedtime story!" And which book should you pick then? Preferably a heartwarming one, with beautiful illustrations.

And that's exactly what we did with Valley by the River. Just brought a beautiful children's book, which has actually been around for so long, into the world and published it. In this podcast episode we talk about the whole process, what does it actually mean to publish a children's book and what did we actually do for it?

Now you have surely already listened to one or the other episode of our podcast and know us a little bit, that's exactly why you should just take a look at the book and give us a FeedBack.

We are happy about every little reader and every feedback and hopefully also about yours. Greetings from Leipzig and Hamburg. See you next week!

00:02:26: what is it for you no cos you you already published a lot of books and what was the launch of these books then vs the launch of this books on now on my own on.

00:02:41: Optician company something

00:02:51: it doesn't really matter when your house then you are not in all this processes right book with selector on

00:03:02: maybe you can decide how the title will be or not but all the other all the steps of making other people.

00:03:12: Marketing parts two and here we are

00:04:01: direct Response like a wave which is coming to us yeah it's much more hands-on.

00:04:10: And I guess you you have much more so you have much more control over everything don't you.

00:04:18: Oh yes you are you're very big control station.

00:04:30: I was just wondering whether you know

00:04:33: when you when you had this idea at the Beginning whether you know whether this was a vision for you and whether that's you know it's kind of work out how you wanted it to work out.

00:04:50: I think my first idea was just this Amazon has the possibility to to market your books and none of the books of lubina work on Amazon this was just like the Logical conclusion and where to

00:05:07: bring it on Amazon and in the internet

00:05:09: and also in on different channels to two publishing but when we.

00:05:17: Don't step into the this idea of publishing in different languages in different countries all over the world and also,

00:05:27: eBook just printed version but also as an audiobook and let's see your vision became more clear I think.

00:05:37: Noticed the moment was great but also when I see the reference book respective is just exactly what I imagined the outcome now was just what I imagine then and I'm.

00:05:51: So glad that it came dead good or bad it got so good.

00:05:56: Touches one South if you know that those and stories

00:06:02: made by your mother and then you could somehow edit them and participated in the whole process.

00:06:12: What a great team you to make.

00:06:17: Yeah there's another point.

00:06:25: I like boots but I need for the marketing and I need other people who will translated.

00:06:35: I need to see me.

00:06:44: The trust I need to trust everybody from this is growing what we now have them.

00:06:54: And what was the experience for you lubina as a rich ask me what was your idea of the outcome this the actual outcome now.

00:07:10: See I didn't care for concrete,

00:07:16: because I couldn't emission what would happen how it is what needs to be done,

00:07:30: what's the time

00:07:33: what's that what's that kind of the I need to trust you when you listen what needs to be done and then we do it and I'm really happy to what is this,

00:07:46: but I had no idea.

00:07:51: What will be frustrating moment in the process,

00:07:58: RAM that's a boring moment.

00:08:03: No because it was the first time

00:08:09: frustrating yes when I was making the third time in the language course I didn't know before how to do it

00:08:19: learning with every mistake was every step

00:08:27: Steve ok again

00:12:31: you know I think we're gonna be the first asked me to get involved in the podcast I wasn't really sure what I was going to do.

00:12:40: A bit like you felt the Beano at the Beginning you weren't sure what it would look like and and I just thought well.

00:12:48: I just feel really drawn to this and that was probably coming from your energy labena

00:12:55: about the energy that you and

00:12:59: so I just thought this is great this is an opportunity to see the Beano on a regular basis and have a chat.

00:13:06: And that would be a great thing to do and but I guess as the weeks have gone on and we've got to know each other better

00:13:16: and we've got you know I to help develop the skills but I didn't think.

00:13:22: I had I guess it just being able to talk to people to ask pertinent questions of people and.

00:13:33: And I guess the surprise for me is how.

00:13:37: Those those kind of questions can develop into really good conversations and.

00:13:46: And meeting people that I would never have the opportunity to meet.
