Jules Fitzgerald

My niece was four, or as she would say, “almost five.” She was reading a book to me and was pretty excited about it. I told her I work at a place that makes books and she became even more excited. When I told her I would write a book and make the main character’s name Daisy Rose, she said, “Hey, that’s my name!” We decided to learn about how books were made, and so this began.

During this adventure we learned how to write a book, work with an illustrator, nicely talk about creative differences, edit without getting hurt feelings, create ebooks and print-on-demand books, and fully self-publish books. And now we can share Daisy's excitement through Name It Me, which we created so everyone can experience what we've experienced. From our extensive focus group of family and friends we learned that contractions are confusing, and that choosing a serif style font makes a huge positive difference for new readers. We still have a lot to learn in this adventure. Watch for more from The Tiniest Amazon Series.

So let Name It Me name it for your child, relative, or friend, and feel the joy of seeing that excitement on their face every time they open a book.
