Your children's book is somewhere between idea and published.
You have an idea of what you want to write, but now you don't know what to do next.
Maybe you need help knowing how to get started. Or stuck trying to finish it. Or maybe you've finished the whole thing and now you don't know where to go from here.
Where you're at right now has a specific answer, but trying to Google it is how you spend an afternoon going down a rabbit hole without knowing you're moving in the right direction.
That's why we created the Kidlit GPS™.
You'll answer a few quick questions about your book. Then you'll see exactly where you are on the author journey and what steps you need to take from here to move toward a published book.
It's completely free and takes about 2 minutes to get your answer; no email required.
Every book moves through 6 stages when becoming a published book.
Take the Kidlit GPS™ to find out which specific stage your book is in right now.
Take 2 minutes to get your next step.
1. Answer a few questions about one book.
Answer a few short questions about what you’ve completed so far for one specific book.
2. Get your stage immediately.
The GPS will pinpoint your book’s current stage and show you the milestone you should be working toward next.
3. Download your personalized roadmap. (Optional)
At the end, you can opt-in to receive a free roadmap with the next 3 steps for your book.
Your result is based on what you’ve completed for this specific book and what it needs next.
Not how long you’ve been writing or whether you consider yourself a beginner.
After you answer a few short questions, you’ll see your book’s current stage and next milestone. Then, you can grab your personalized roadmap to know what to focus on next, the roadblocks to watch for, and the wrong turns to avoid as you move forward.
Get confirmation you're working on the right things.
(Or learn what you should be working on instead.)
Hey, I'm Brooke.
I built Kidlit GPS™ based on more than a decade of experience working across the children’s book journey, as an author, senior editor, educator, and publisher.
After running a publishing house that helped produce more than 50 titles, and reviewing more than 1,000 children’s book manuscripts, I know what it takes to help writers at every stage—from their first idea to their publishing contract.
But again and again, I see talented writers stall for the same reason: they're receiving plenty of advice, yet no one has shown them how all the steps fit together. That's why I created this quick assessment tool.
The Kidlit GPS™ is the navigation system I wish every children’s book writer had from day one.
