Hey - I'm Brooke Van Sickle!
And I want to make you a published author!
When I set out to write my first book in 2014, I couldn't WAIT to see it in print. I could smell the paper and feel the weight of it in my hands.
But it took six years for that moment to come.
If I had the knowledge I know now, I could've done it faster and been able to share my story with my family and friends sooner.
Which is why I created the Kidlit Publishing Toolkit -- to help YOU know the steps you need to take in order to publish your children's book. So you don't have to wait forever to see your book on a bookshelf.
