My niece was four, or as she would say, “almost five.” She was reading a book to me and was pretty excited about it, and I told her I work at a place that makes books. She became even more excited. So I told her I would write a book and make the main character’s name Daisy Rose, and she said, “Hey, that’s my name!” We decided to learn about how books were made, and so this began. During this adventure we have 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 how to publish books through Kindle Direct Publishing and Barnes & Noble. And now through Name It Me. Through working backwards from our customers (kids), we learned that concatenation is 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, and so we will continue writing and publishing books. We are really excited about Name It Me so everyone gets to see their name in a book!
