Now accepting a limited number of children's book writers, this exclusive opportunity to work 1:1 with our editing team closes in:
Let's face it--there's nothing more frustrating than having a story idea, only to feel like you don't have the time to actually get it published. And there's nothing more disheartening than doubting your abilities as a writer--only to have your confidence rocked with a bad review, critique, or rejection letter.
You know that you should be a published author, sharing this book with kids across the world. Maybe you've even tried sending it out to a few publishers, agents, or even researched how to publish it yourself.
And yet, it's not quite working.
You feel like you must be missing something.
And you're not alone. Most children's book writers are right here with you.
The truth is that having a published children's book is a game changer, one that will help you share your message with the next generation, aspire future readers, and even get your family and friends excited to support you.
The problem?
But what if there was a way to make sure you got it right?
When I first started writing for kids in 2015, I spent countless hours pouring my heart and soul into my children's book. But I would often find myself wondering if my manuscript would ever see the light of day. The impatience to be published was eating away at me, but I knew rushing it would only result in poor quality.
It was that impatience that led me to develop formulas and connections to make the writing process not only easier, but fast. And that's when I realized that there were many talented writers like me that I could help, too. Those with incredible stories to tell but who lacked the necessary guidance and support to bring their visions to life.
I created the Kidlit Fast Track to bridge this gap between waiting to be published and not knowing how to make it happen, in order to help authors just like you easily navigate the world of children's book publishing.

No. The U.S. Copyright Office recognizes the copyright protection of an original piece of work the moment it's written. (Read about it here.) However, if you choose to copyright your story, we would recommend waiting until your story is polished. We recommend this because your story will undergo a series of changes through the edits we provide, which may alter the final form of the story compared to the initial draft that would be registered with the copyright office, so you'd have to apply to have it copyrighted again.
