I've raised £500 to Publish a children's book

Organised by Frances Rowley
I would love to publish a book of stories about Leonard, a donkey, who was always up to mischief.
It needs illustrating, as it is really for 5-10 year olds, and I would like some artwork doing, and then there is the self publishing cost.
The self publishing costs are not expensive, if done through Kindle, but the artwork will probably be upwards of £200.00.
Iloved these stories when I was a child, and I would love to share them.
