Description

Well, have I got news for you! I can show you how you can create a simple children's interactive ebook in as little as a week, or even a weekend! We can even show you how to get your eBooks on the Apple, or Google App store!

Imagine that you can publish an eBook for the iPad that can “read aloud", and has a Drag and Drop game, or even has a coloring book! All of this is possible without having to write a single line of code!

In this short course, we can show you that bringing your eBook idea to a reality is possible, even if you've never published a physical, or digital book before!

When it comes to children's eBooks, some of the best interactive, or Enhanced eBooks are put out by large companies like Disney, Sesame Street, or Mattel. We teach you how you can get the same level of interactivity, and without breaking the bank!

So, SIGN UP for our course, and let us show you how to get your stories from out of your head, and into an eBook for the iPads & Kindles of the world!

About 2 years ago, I was watching my little girl reading along and playing games with an eBook on the Kindle. With all of the sounds and animations, it reminded me of the interactive CD-Roms I used to create in the 90’s—and how cool would it be to make eBooks for my daughter! So, I wondered, what software were they using to create these eBooks & apps, and could I learn and teach it? After months of searching, and some trial and error, I came up with a way to make my own interactive eBooks… but, it was far more complicated than I wanted. The problem was it involved several programs, as well as writing and tweaking code.

Then I found it, an eBook publishing solution that handled EVERYTHING, and I didn't have to write a single line of code! This software does all the heavy lifting on the back-end, and leaves your mind free to create your masterpiece!

Actually, this software is so simple, I can even teach you the basics in just over 30 minutes!

Who this course is for:

  • This course is for the author, and/or illustrator who's been looking for a simple solution to get their book ideas published in a fun, and interactive digital format.
  • This course is also for the parent, grandparent, uncle, aunt or teacher that have had a desire to write, or share a story with the children in their lives, and just didn't know how.
  • This course is for the coder, and non-coder alike. If you can build a website with HTML and Javascript from scratch, OR if you barely write an email, we've got you covered!
