Now that I’ve written a story about a shy mermaid coming out of her shell, how do I go about getting my story published?
In order to present my book idea to an editor I take these steps.
First, thumbnail grids help to see the whole 32 page book at once in a sequence of scenes.

Then, storyboards for the 32 pages put words and pictures together.

After that, the dummy, a fake 32 page picture book with both sketches and text helps me feel the turn of the page.

Last, I found an editor who was interested in my book idea.
To sell a book, I send the editor my packet which includes a typed manuscript, the book dummy and a color art sample.
Wish Me Luck!
