Children's Book Coaching, Publishing Guidance & Author Support
Every children's book begins with an idea.
Maybe you've imagined a memorable character.
Maybe you've dreamed about seeing your own book on a library shelf.
Or maybe you've started writing—but you're not sure what comes next.
I've been there.
As the creator of Curly Crow Books, I've experienced firsthand what it takes to write, publish, market, and grow an independent children's book brand. My goal is to help aspiring authors avoid common mistakes, build confidence, and move forward with a clear plan.
Whether you're just beginning your first manuscript or preparing to publish your next book, I'd love to help.
Children's Book Coaching
Every author's journey is different, and every coaching session is personalized to your goals.
Together, we can work on topics including:
- Turning your idea into a children's book
- Developing memorable characters
- Story structure and pacing
- Self-publishing and independent publishing
- Printing and production
- Working with illustrators
- Building your author brand
- Creating a professional website
- Amazon and online book sales
- School visits and author presentations
- Marketing and social media
- Growing your audience
- Long-term publishing strategy
No two coaching sessions are exactly alike. We'll focus on the areas that matter most to you and your publishing journey.
Who Coaching Is For
Coaching is a great fit for:
- First-time children's book authors
- Self-published authors
- Teachers writing classroom stories
- Parents and grandparents with a story to share
- Authors preparing for school visits
- Independent publishers looking to grow
Whether you're writing your very first book or expanding an existing series, you'll receive practical guidance based on real publishing experience.
Why Work With Nicholas?
I'm Nicholas Aragon, author, publisher, and founder of Curly Crow Books.
Over the past several years I've grown Curly Crow from a single book idea into an independent publishing company featuring:
- Award-winning children's books
- English, Spanish, and bilingual editions
- Activity books and educational resources
- School author visits across New Mexico
- Retail and wholesale partnerships
- Community literacy initiatives
- Multiple original children's book series
Everything I share comes from real-world experience—not theory.
I've learned what works, what doesn't, and what I wish someone had told me when I started.
My goal is simple:
Help you move forward with confidence and enjoy the journey of becoming a published author.
