: Re: Publishing a Children's Picture book -- Question about an App and a Printed version I've written and had illustrated a children's picture book. I'm thinking of making this into an App for download

The one consideration I would probably want to factor in is that the publishing industry remains conservative. Until your app sells well enough for them to overlook your transgression of the "First Serial Publishing Rights" rule no one will likely want to buy it.

The way it would be viewed is that your privately owned app is "competing" with any printed product. They would be making money out of the printed version (in return for investment) the only person making money out of the app is you. Therefore in strict game theory terms it makes more sense for you to push the app from a financial point of view. In fact if you retain control over the app you will always make more money from the app version than the paper version if it is in the control of someone else.

It's a risk in an arena fraught with risks. Yours is no more foolish than anyone else's.

(Having said that every writer's strategy is foolish to a greater degree given the media tsunami of the modern world and the apathy of most people towards the printed word in general, let alone your specific collection of them...)
