Amazon vs. Ingram Spark print quality
This video is about comparing the paper and print quality of Amazon and Ingram Spark for self-publishing illustrated books. When publishing my middle grade book, The Fairy Gothmother: A Collection of Cautionary Tales, I needed high quality printing since every page spread is full color. Here, I share what I discover to help other writers/illustrators/publishers discover their options. See which company I chose, and why. #AmazonKDP #paperweight #designers #ACollectionofCaution

The Halloween Hunt
The Halloween Hunt is a devilish mashup of Tag, Hide and Seek and The Easter Egg Hunt. Instructions for playing The Halloween Hunt are included in my children’s book, THE FAIRY GOTHMOTHER: A Collection of Cautionary Tales (coming soon). I came up with the Hunt a few years ago when family had to leave a week before Halloween and we needed to party. In costume. With candy. Here’s a sample of what it’s like to play. I can’t wait to share this spookity fun game with the world—Bwh

Something significant just happened. A very important bunny with a story to tell just entered my life. It’s been difficult to understand her. Why, you ask? Have YOU ever heard a bunny talk? You must be very quiet and very still. #kidlit #writerproblems #amwriting #WA #PNW #bunny (at Wit’s End) #bunny #PNW #kidlit #byJenn #amwriting #wa #writerproblems
