I am an emerging author writing a children’s picture book, and I need to figure out what childrens book publishing services Toronto entail before making any decisions. Some only provide editing, while some others include editing, illustrations, cover design, formatting, ISBN registration, printing, and even marketing. For those who have gone through this process, what services were worth paying for, and what should have been done individually? Also, how long did it take you to finish your book from the manuscript stage, and what are the things that you should have asked?
