Writing and Publishing an Illustrated Children's Book with Gregg McBride and Anaïs Chartschenko

Author Gregg McBride and Illustrator Anaïs Chartschenko chat with Draft2Digital about their new illustrated children's book, what it took to write, illustrate, and publish it."Biron The Bee Who Couldn't" (new children's picture book, debuts on June 10) Written by Gregg McBride, Illustrated by Anaïs Chartschenko, and available at Amazon.Gregg McBride has been told he couldn't do things many times, yet went on to do them anyway. He works to inspire and help others through his books (Weightless and Just Stop Eating So Much), columns (for Psychology Today), and even a top-rated TV movie (A Heavenly Christmas). He also teaches meditation for Insight Timer and is committed to animal rescue. This is Gregg's first children's book, and he hopes it will remind kids of all ages that their dreams matter.Anaïs Chartschenko bee-lieves that persistence and enthusiasm can transform into talent and luck. After being told by an English teacher that she couldn't write, she went on to publish multiple books (The Weightless One and Sailing Toward Us). She was advised she shouldn't dream of pursuing something as complex as opera, and so she learned to sing arias in several languages. She was informed quite firmly that being an illustrator was out of the question—yet this is her first illustrated children's book. People also said she would never grow to be 5 feet tall...well, can't win 'em all!//Draft2Digital is where you start your Indie Author Career//  Looking for your path to self-publishing success?
