About the Author
Young writer Julia Chin was fascinated by Susan Kovalik's LIFESKILLS in third grade. She created (and illustrated) adorable characters in this book to demonstrate these LIFESKILLS to other children. This is a child's perspective on the essential skills of life, such as initiative, perseverance and caring. Julia enjoys arts and crafts, skiing, and playing the violin.

Some authors may decide to use a publisher when they write their books. The publisher's expertise and knowledge is often well worth the nominal cost to use an industry professional. A knowledgeable publisher can often save an author time and trouble. In some cases, the cost of the publisher is just a little more than purchasing your own ISBN!
Publishers will typically work with their authors to customize services. Some authors merely need an ISBN and some help with formatting issues. Others will want editorial assistance. A good publisher should serve the needs of their authors.
An additional benefit that should not be underestimated is that using a third-party publisher gives your book added prestige. This may be particularly important if the book is a credibility-builder for your business.
