Hello, everybody. Welcome to Three Point Perspective. The podcast about illustration, how to do it, how to make a living at it, and how to make an impact in the world with your art. I'm Jake Parker. I'm Lee White. And I'm Will Terry. And all three of us are professional illustrators. We've all worked for all the major publishers in the business. Together we've published somewhere around 75 children's books, and we've all

taught illustration at university art schools. That is correct. Each week we come at you guys

with fantastic illustrator interviews or listener questions just like you might have. Sometimes we

agree, sometimes we argue,

but each time you learn something, brand spanking new.

Yeah, and I want to follow up.

We've been getting questions from people about self-publishing pro,

so we just want to answer a few of those questions.

Because we have been mentioning that that's like our next big course that we're

currently like working on and first off just to just right out the gate it is the the enrollment

for self-publishing pro opens February 27th, and it closes March 4th.

So if this is something that you're interested in, write that down, and you're going to want to

make sure you enroll in that time. But what even is it? What kind of questions are we going to go over?

I guess what kind of questions have we been getting? And the first thing, the question that we get is, or I guess the

concern people have, is they're like they're not even sure, they don't even know how to get started.

They have this idea for a book that they want to do. They're not sure it's, you know, they don't, they don't want to go to the started. They have this idea for a book that they want to do. They're not sure it's,

you know, they don't, they don't want to go the publishing route because maybe they want to

have a little bit more control over the idea. But one of the first things is how do you,

how do you get started? And I think what self-publishing pro does does how do you think self-publishing pro answers that

or solves that problem i have the perfect answer like usual what's that i would let lee answer it

but i don't go ahead and make your wrong answer and then i'll i'll clear it up for it because we'll

grandstand and yada y yada, yada.
