How do you make and publish a picture book?

Answer 1

It takes as long as it takes. There is no way for any of us to estimate how fast you can write, how much time you have each day, and how long it will take you to get a response from a publishing house.

Write your book. Send it to a publisher. While you wait to hear back, write your next book. Send that out. Rinse and repeat.

Once the book is complete, you can self-publish it through platforms like Amazon KDP or seek a traditional publisher.

Answer 4

There is no minimum - it all depends on how few the publisher is willing to publish.
