Plan each page and spread
Choose a page count, add text and illustration notes, and use the optional story-beat prompts as a starting point. Save or print your plan as you develop your picture book.

Page counts and the placement of front matter, end matter, and spreads depend on your printer, binding, and format. Confirm the requirements of your intended print platform before finalizing your layout.
