@roxiemunro Yes - I start on my iPad using "procreate" and then email to my desktop and then finish in Photoshop... #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:05:34 +0000 Hi Brook and Decli! #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:06:02 +0000 @DeclicKids Welcome to #storyappchat tonite! So glad you could stop by :) Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:06:09 +0000 Will, how many apps have you done? Do you market them yourself? #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:06:13 +0000 Excited for tonight's topic about Illustrations for book apps w/ host @WillTerry333 - http://t.co/nrBeRP2g #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:06:58 +0000 I've got a few of your ebooks, but not your app, which looks like fun (I eat you). #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:07:24 +0000 @roxiemunro I've finished 3 ebooks and now have my first iPad app out there called "I Eat You!" #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:07:27 +0000 I tried to "get" Photoshop for years, but it took an assignment and your courses for it to make sense. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:08:35 +0000 What file format do you get out of procreate? #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:08:47 +0000 Do you have narration in your app? Did you do your own VO? #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:08:56 +0000 Hi @WillTerry333! Love your work. Have you ever tried Brushes or ArtRage for iPad for illustrations? #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:09:12 +0000 And the explanations in your app tutorial are GREAT, I GET it, lol. it's hard to process everything, including jargon. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:09:16 +0000 I hope everyone who hasn't yet will bookmark Will's blog right now: http://t.co/BzWhMnA0 great source of information #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:09:28 +0000 Now that I have my first app done as a "test" I'm going to really focus on story and making it pretty but not too many bells.. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:09:55 +0000 I agree, Brooks, I share his blog posts to my FB wall for that reason. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:10:22 +0000 @roxiemunro I did my own voice work - saving time and money - next app will pay voice actors... #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:10:30 +0000 @willterry333 is wonderful in his 'will'ingness to share information. So appreciative! #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:10:50 +0000 Among my #top10 blog reads each week: MT @brooks_jones: Bookmark Will's blog: http://t.co/42Rei6N8 great source of information #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:11:04 +0000 I wasn't clear, I know you concentrat on ipublication, but is your app in Amazon and Kobo? #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:11:05 +0000 @staceywng Welcome to #storyappchat tonite! Glad to have you with us. Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:11:30 +0000 We both had bug books coming out the same season last year (but I like yours better ;-)) Make an app for that!!! #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:11:31 +0000 @roxiemunro I love @willterry333 's little bug book, it's awesome! #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:12:39 +0000 @roxiemunro Haha - they were just different Roxie :) #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:12:56 +0000 I have a "more conceptual" question: what is usually your design/idea process for a storybook? Story first? Characters first? #Storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:13:13 +0000 Did you "animate" your text as well, like highlighting when read or having the words appear when read? #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:13:15 +0000 Have a great VO producer here in the NY area if anyone needs one. VERY reasonable and professional. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:13:22 +0000 Nice! RT @roxiemunro: Have a great VO producer here in the NY area if anyone needs one. VERY reasonable and professional. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:13:37 +0000 Yea, mine is nonfiction #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:13:47 +0000 @willterry333 blog at http://t.co/mKiYP2Rk is a great resource for illustrators. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:14:06 +0000 @kwiksher I have to think of the story first - if you can't grab your audience with a story I don't think you will last... #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:14:20 +0000 RT @roxiemunro: Have a great VO producer here in the NY area if anyone needs one. VERY reasonable and professional. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:14:22 +0000 Yes, how did you animate? Who was your developer? What about marketing, which can be tough. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:15:03 +0000 @agyw13 I didn't highlight the text because I used "Talespring" and they didn't provide the ability to turn it off... #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:15:06 +0000 MT @willterry333: @kwiksher Story first - if you can't grab your audience with a story I don't think you will last... #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:15:12 +0000 RT @RobinaArt: @willterry333 blog at http://t.co/D9Oa8DWN is a great resource for illustrators. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:15:20 +0000 @willterry333 @kwiksher I think you are right re story driving the process... (hi everyone!) #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:15:40 +0000 @roxiemunro Good question - I used "http://t.co/JVbykwmQ" and they were good to work with - check their website... #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:16:05 +0000 I agree about story. Hard balancing bells and whistles and LITERACY, I think you do a great job. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:16:18 +0000 So you were your own developer? #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:16:27 +0000

And I am no developer, believe you me! #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:17:51 +0000 @roxiemunro sort of - Talespring is the publisher but the set up there - is that you use their online tools to produce the app #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:17:54 +0000 RT @staceywng: I do all my own developing using @demibooks Composer software. And I am no developer, believe you me! #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:18:19 +0000 My next app will be produced using Kwiksher - love Alex and his product! #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:18:33 +0000 Hello, everyone!

You know I will backup you, right? ;) #Storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:22:52 +0000 @agyw13 amen Agy - My feeling is that over time if you produce great apps each one will help sell the others - income going up #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:23:25 +0000 RT @roxiemunro: My guys have DYO (Develop Your Own) framework that great & budget- conscious...check out http://t.co/BtPZb6ih #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:23:52 +0000 I have about 50% of the illustrations and I have worked through the tutorials and I have just started developing. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:23:58 +0000 Reason mainstream publishers won't do kids apps ('cept licensed/legacy properties etc): lousy discovery & too costly #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:24:15 +0000 @kwiksher Thanks so much for all your help Alex! #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:24:36 +0000

Appreciate you joining us. Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:26:13 +0000 @roxiemunro do you think that will change as more std library review sources cover apps? #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:26:16 +0000 Ebooks are cheap and super available...interactive apps are a different story. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:26:19 +0000 RT @roxiemunro: Yes, Will. Schools & libraries are starting buy iPads rather than books ;-// #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:26:21 +0000 When I did school visits in Katy Tx a few months ago - they said kindergartners are bad with mouse - they try to touch screen #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:26:50 +0000 LOL, it's an echo chamber, with good info! #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:26:51 +0000 @agyw13 Yes, a lot of kids' app devs are trying to create an app "library" of their works...lots of quick easy apps #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:26:56 +0000 So true & getting worse! MT @Julia_Brannon: Reason mainstream publishers wont do kids apps ... lousy discovery & costly #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:27:20 +0000 @agyw13 Scholastic may be aggressively moving into ebooks, but they aren't necessarily open to unagented writers #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:27:35 +0000 @roxiemunro very true - and apps much more costly to produce... #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:27:45 +0000 SLJ, Kirkus, PW, Horn Bk all do a few reviews. But they don't seem to affect sales as much as a few app-review-only web sites. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:27:51 +0000 Will I was amazed the delivery time for I Eat You. I think a lot of it is knowing the PROCESS and having clear ideas. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:28:04 +0000 @brooks_jones Thanks, I've just had the privilege of working on an original children's book app, so all very relevant to me #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:28:24 +0000 RT @agyw13: I was amazed the delivery time for I Eat You.

More than 1 year after released, it still get media attention because its "cause" #Storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:34:30 +0000 Will you briefly spoke about the difference in how Amazon and the Istore ranks their stuff. how does that help/hurt marketing? #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:35:17 +0000 True! MT @roxiemunro: SLJ, Kirkus, PW, Horn all do a few reviews. But they dont..affect sales as much as app-review sites. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:35:23 +0000 @roxiemunro Reviews are exceptional for feedback app focused sites tend to bring in better sales vs literary reviews. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:35:39 +0000 @cnolanart I don't think it's about spending a lot of time and money on marketing - if it truly is a great app - it will be #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:35:50 +0000 Q. Big opportunity for a real (game) coder to create a hardcore storybook app engine? Are you writers/artists looking for one? #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:35:59 +0000 VO, sounds,music not so expensive.If art available (w/animation spots) Guess coding/testing/creating animations&interactivity #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:36:05 +0000 iOS is good but difficult to get attention.

You can do much more with Kwik but the learning curve is a little longer than demibooks #Storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:55:52 +0000 @RobinaArt Not that far yet - Kwik has to buy me dinner first :) ...I'm just starting but loving it.. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:56:01 +0000 #storyappchat I built my app using InteractBuilder. They are about to release InteractBuilder 3 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:56:13 +0000 That's the struggle, lol. I haven't even got a the string for shoe string! #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:56:14 +0000 @roxiemunro Au contraire... My little publishing company, http://t.co/SKMqi9dT, is accepting submissions and we don't charge. #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:56:19 +0000 It's mutual: I'm a big fan of @demibooks as well, but I'm not as familiar with @Kwiksher. What is the difference? #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:56:33 +0000 @roxiemunro agree I had the experience of starting just as iOS 5 was arriving and by time app was finished iOS 6 had arrived #storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:56:42 +0000 However, you don't need to pay publishing services from demibooks neither share revenue. #Storyappchat Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:56:52 +0000 @PeepandFriends Welcome to #storyappchat tonite!
