Children's Book Coaching
Helping Aspiring Children's Book Authors Turn Ideas into Published Books
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 learned firsthand what it takes to write, publish, market, and grow an independent children's book brand. My goal is to help other authors avoid common mistakes, build confidence, and move forward with a clear plan.
Whether you're just getting started or preparing to publish your next book, I'm here to help.
What We Can Work On Together
Every author's journey is different, but coaching sessions can include:
- 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 goals.
Who Coaching Is For
Coaching is perfect 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.
