Hello!

Wow, it sounds like you've done a lot of research. Would you mind giving advice as to how to go about choosing the "best" editor, illustrator, etc? I'm not sure where to begin!

Thanks

Way to go Bobbie!

Bobbie-
What an inspiring story! I wish you continued success with your endeavors. Now I need to go turn myself into an independent publisher...

Bobbie Hinman Has it Right!
by: Cynthia Polansky

Bobbie hit the nail on the head with her article on the realities of the book publishing industry. She is also the perfect role model. Despite the odds and stumbling blocks, she believed in her work enough to ensure that her books were available. And the children's book market is the luckier for it! "The Knot Fairy" and "The Sock Fairy" are beautifully written and illustrated books thatimmediately and completely engage young readers into the magic worlds Bobbie Hinman creates.
In our technology-driven society, Bobbie Hinman's "Fairy" books brings us back to the simple pleasures of parents and children sharing a wondrous book. Forget the Anime; dive into Bobbie Hinman's "Fairy" world! You'll be glad you did.

Talk about a busy lady...
by: Steve B.

You're not just self publishing, you're renaming it!

What a tremendous account. I know visitors are going to be glued to their screens reading it, and entirely inspired by it. I also know they're going to want to know more, namely...

How'd you move 5000 books???

That's great! I'm sure it exceeds the sales by most self publishers (and the sales of some traditionally published books as well).

I'm looking at your Events Schedule on your website. It's March 1st as I write this. I see 6 events over 6 days in three states scheduled for March. In April I see, scheduled, so far, 6 events in 4 states over 7 days.

Wow.

If you don't mind, could you come back to the site and fill out the Comments box below your page and tell us a little more about scheduling events AND the travel? I'm sure everyone would like to know!
