Author-illustrator Diane Alber self-published her first children's book, I'm Just a Scribble, in the fall of 2017 after a successful Kickstarter campaign. Fifty titles and nearly one million print unit sales later, she has partnered with Surge Licensing to expand her brand and characters globally.
The plan is to sign a traditional publisher to help expand distribution, formats, and geographic regions, and then move into other product categories such as toys, arts and crafts, school supplies, bedding, apparel, and more. The sweet spot for both publishing and products is kids ages 5-7.
