I am going to use them after many years of contemplating how to either get published or self publish. I was unsuccessful getting published after numerous query letters. Bookbaby seems the most legitimate. However it is going up a little on the prices.

It’s hard getting into traditional publishing. Perhaps you can compare the others to BookBaby.

I have a question when it comes to self publishing books that need illustrations, e.g. children’s genre..

I believe Amazon has something on their site to help authors with illustrations. You probably have to check their website and/or IngramSpark. Thanks for commenting.
