Having a better understanding of how publishers choose books to publish, can help your craft by better understanding which books are needed in the market. There's so much more to it, but this is a quick overview of a couple of insights of what publishers look for when choosing stories to publish.

Here's how to make a simple yet professional looking background for content in 2026 for less than $50. #contentideas

Kirkus Verdict: GET IT! Some animals hunt alone, some stay with their packs, but some team up with animals from another species. TRICKSTERS, TAKERS, AND TEAM PLAYERS shows how animals survive by forming powerful partnerships. #KidsBooks

Let's spill some tea! We're going to start a new video series about the experiences about starting a publishing company, and everything in between! Stay tuned and make sure to drop your questions and comments in our pinned video on Instagram!

It's such an important part of the process of creativity, and that is of course, to enjoy what you are doing. We can all agree that the process of creativity doesn't always have to involve "fun", as it could include other kinds of emotions and that's part of what makes creating a wonderful endeavor.

Pre-order DUDES OF DISPOSAL today! Our first graphic novel that's jam packed with information, silliness, adventure, and mayhem! Written by Brenna Jeannette Illustrated by Gabi Moraes And as always, every copy sold helps support reforestation across North America!

An important skill to have for any children's book writer or author, is to be able to use a certain flavor of critical thinking. Specifically, the ability to discern and identify which pieces of information are helpful to the development of your craft. #writingcommunity

Quick update: I'm slowly getting back into the groove. It has definitely been a challenge to find a healthy balance between family, personal needs, work, publishing, and so forth... But at the end of the day, as long as we strive to do our best, that's all we should be aiming for. #Publishing

Is this something you would try? If you're looking for social content ideas for children's book or #kidlit content, then try reenacting parts of your story as a video or real for social media!

...even if we have to travel across the country to get a shot for marketing reasons. Generative AI is technological swill. Don't use it. Instead, check out WHEN THE SEA LEFT, by Nadine Holland and Crista McGinley! Guaranteed made by humans, and proceeds from every sale support reforestation!

Did we use AI? Or did we travel across the country to get a shot with an ocean backdrop?? You decide!! Check out WHEN THE SEA LEFT, by Nadine Holland and Crista McGinley! Guaranteed made by humans, and proceeds from every sale support reforestation!

It's dangerous to go alone... Take a pause and rest. You've travelled far, and worked hard, and it shows. If nobody else has said it today, we're so proud of you, and can't wait to see what you bring into this world. #gratitude

While it's so great to be able to blend our books with a bit of nature, we still have to remember that nature is so precious and fragile and that, believe it or not, we all coexist with it. So be kind!

Nature is the best backdrop. A little sneak peek in behind the scenes in terms of how we created a recent photo shoot.

Are you ready for September?? Because our latest picture book, teaching kids about different kinds of symbiotic relationships between animal species will be! Pre-order TRICKSTERS, TAKERS, AND TEAM PLAYERS today!

Check out some of our recent picture book titles that we've released over the past year or so. Which would you pick off of this log?

We don't care what your neighbors say...You're doing an amazing job!

Pack a book with burrito boy. We're packing up another book shipment! What will we ship next?? Probably more books lol #asmr

Slugs are doing their best, and I'm sure they'd love to be faster, but maybe they're also exactly as fast as they need to be... You're doing your best, you're doing great, and we're proud of you!

What's harder: ghost peppers or publishing? Tough to say really, but my name is Jon, and I just wanted to introduce myself as the owner of Tielmour Press and to tell you a little about why we started publishing children's books.

Kirkus Verdict: GET IT! When different species interact in a way that benefits at least one of them, it’s called a symbiotic relationship, as some young readers may know. But this book reveals that these relationships aren’t always as reciprocal as readers might expect. #nature

That sounds about right. #asmr

These Japanese beetles seem to be using the flowers as shelter from the rain, but do the flowers get anything from the Beatles in this relationship? What kind of animal relationship would this be? If only there was a children's picture book, that could answer this question! #kidlit

Name that bird! Also, much wisdom. Very wise. Wow. #birdwatching

Happy Birthday BLINK AND GLOW! Written by Raven Howell Illustrated by Ann Pillicer This is a beautiful summer story that helps children understand the impact and importance of caring for creatures and the natural world around them. #kidlit

"A vivid work about the human devastation of animal habitats in the Great Bear Rainforest." —Kirkus Reviews Check it out today!

It should be non-negotiable. In 2026, most, if not all, books, should have a statement on the copyright page or equivalent, that declares that no generative AI was used in the production or development of a book... Especially for children's books! #noai

I mean, it's technically correct... Maybe it just depends on how you spell it... Either way, I hope you find more time/thyme to enjoy your day!

Even if it was a banger of a post... It still doesn't take away from the fact that it took far longer to create than expected... But regardless, enjoy the process of whatever you're doing, and find your creative flow in anything you do! #creativework

Today's children will be tomorrow's protectors. ENOUGH TO SHARE helps to shed light on the impact human activity has on, not just animals, but symbiotic relationships and whole ecosystems! There's still so much to do, but this book is a step in the right direction. #childrensbooks

Today was such an awesome day to see how many people got excited enough to wait in line to go to their local bookstore! It's important to remember that have without bookstores we would not have the diversity we need to grow, to learn, and to be entertained. Happy CIBD!

This is not a vegetable… Vegetables are any part of the plant that you can eat (that isn’t the ovaries), such as leaves, roots, and stems. But if it grew from a flower and holds seeds…it’s a fruit. Music credit: Tielmour Press @katieleereinert.bsky.social #nature #botany

Happy Earth Day! If you ever feel discouraged, where doing something feels like it has no impact, or it feels insignificant... It might be just a drop of water in an endless ocean, but what is an ocean if not a multitude of drops? Wouldn't it be great if everyday was Earth Day? #earthday

Would love to make it to the next round! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

This time of year all the publishing houses boost their fabulous #EarthDay #books. I’d like to add ENOUGH TO SHARE my #PB launching May 26 from @tielmourpress.bsky.social #Environmentalstewardship #conservation #ecoeducation #teachers #Librarians

Let's scrap some damaged books... ...The proper way! It's always unfortunate to see damaged books, but it doesn't mean that it's the end of their life. And of course, a little free library is an amazing thing to have in your community! #kidsbooks

One sloth, two sloth... Three sloth...and their Moths! Check out our latest picture and see why kids love sloths AND THEIR MOTHS!!! #picturebooks #picturebooksforkids

Playground mushrooms... hopefully not toxic... Do you think this is Galerina Marginata? Or maybe something else? Don't forget to check out our awesome mushroom picture book, FUNGI ARE...MORE THAN MUSHROOMS ! #fungifacts #childrensbooks

Read this wonderful review of ENOUGH TO SHARE by @maryhelenberg.bsky.social (illos by @suetodd.bsky.social)…the book will be out April 22! @tielmourpress.bsky.social #Environmentfriendly #teachers #animals #edusky #kidlit #nature #environment www.thechildrensbookreview.com/enough-to-sh...

I'm excited to celebrate spring with Cynthia Mackey, please stop by my blog and read her interview. 🌼 🦋 🐝 patbrownbooks.com/2026/04/10/c... @booksbycindy.bsky.social @marielaurecouet.bsky.social @tielmourpress.bsky.social

We're taking the em dash back! Em dashes have always been a big part of my personal writing style—one might even say that I feel EM-pty without them! What do you think? *No AI was used in the making of this copy (all em dashes were human-made). #childrensbooks #indiepublishing #Kidlit

While koalas are not primates... Koalas and humans apparently split on the evolutionary tree about 70 million years ago, but they still share a similar fingerprint, and this is something called: Convergent Evolution!! Knowing is growing! Have a great day #childrensbooks #kidsbooks

LEARN ABOUT OUR LUNAR FRIEND! SUPERMOON is an awesome picture book that teaches readers all about how our lunar friend, the Moon, helps the Earth in different and amazing ways! #artemis #moon #childrensbooks #kidsbooks

SLOTHS AND THEIR MOTHS DELIVERS! Young readers will become immersed in a lush tropical rainforest in Sloths and Their Moths by Katie Lee Reinert and Gabi Moraes! This picture book weaves nature with the lives of a sloth (and their moths). @katieleereinert.bsky.social #picturebooks #sloths

I just need more thyme... Maybe we'll start on an easier project this time, and maybe we'll also try the tree planting gig again shortly. Stay tuned. #trees #seeds #creativejourney #kidsbooks

We couldn't really tell if these were just soggy fungi left over from last fall (which was likely the case), but it's still so awesome to see as the snow melts. And if you wanted to teach your kids more about the wonderful world of mushrooms, check out: FUNGI ARE...MORE THAN MUSHROOMS! #fungi
