Creating engaging children’s books for families

Do you have a favorite childhood book you look back to, one that shaped your worldview, made you giggle, and engaged your imagination? We believe in the power of books, and we’ve committed to publish children’s books that teach a life lesson in a way that engages and captivates a child’s imagination. To bring this vision to life, we seek authors who have a passion to educate and delight young readers, and partner with you in the following key areas.

How We Partner With You

Editing

Our skilled children’s book editors work with you to keep children engaged in your story, effectively weave key themes into your narration and dialogue, and target your distinct age range. We work with the full spectrum of age ranges, including:

Picture books
Early readers
Chapter books
Middle-grade books
Young adult novels

An experienced editor will help you incorporate colorful adjectives, expressive verbs, and vocabulary that flows smoothly and grips young readers. No matter your message or age range, the result is a book both entertaining and informative for children and parents.

Design

We’ve put together a collection of illustrators with diverse portfolios to match your unique vision. Illustrations help children connect with a story and grasp the emotions and actions of the characters. They work with the imagination of a child to truly envision the characters, and they are a valuable way for the author to be able to draw out the significant events, lessons, and emotions of the story. You’ll work with a creative designer to design an eye-catching cover for your book, and then bring your story to life through custom illustrations.

Kind Words from Our Authors

Hear from those who have already published with us

The partnership publishing model is not lip service - it is how Lucid Books operates.

When I began writing my first book, I didn't know anything about publishing. I was leaning toward self-publishing but there were still so many decisions to be made. I was afraid of missing something. Lucid Books gave me a team of professionals to keep me on track and help me make the best decisions for my book and my goals. I am so thankful that I was able to partner with them in the rewarding journey of publishing my first book!

Lucid has been extremely helpful and congenial throughout the entire publishing process of my book. As usual, there were some tenuous times, as in all worthwhile endeavors, but the people at Lucid never let me down and never left me hanging! I will partner with them in my next publishing effort for sure!

Lucid communication and follow through was fantastic. The process was incredibly smooth from beginning consultation all the way through to the finished product.

Having been through the publishing process twice with two other christian companies (overall I had a good experience with both), I must say that Lucid Books was more professional, efficient, excellent, and personable in their services. If you are looking for a publisher to partner with who will work diligently on your project and give it the attention it deserves to turn it into a quality book from cover to cover, Lucid is your choice.

They encouraged me in my efforts to share my daughter's story and I have been forever blessed by the experience.

When Lucid Books published my book, Gospel Family, I gained more than a publisher; I received partners in this ministry as they continue to walk alongside me, helping me find new ways to share this message with thousands of readers, pastors, and churches.
