Learn the 3 things that must be in your story before you finish it.


As someone who's been in the industry for almost a decade, I’ve found that there are 3 secret things that make your story publishable -- just 3 simple things that get an editor excited to want to be the cheerleader for your story.

If you don't have them, your chances of getting a rejection from an editor increase by almost 100%. 😳 It's important to know these things then, am I right?

That's why we’re going to look at them during this workshop and talk about why these 3 things matter to your story's chances of getting published.

Hi! I'm Brooke.

I’m an award-winning picture book author, publisher of over 30 children’s book titles, and writing coach to thousands of writers from over 35 different countries across the world.

I'm also someone who's never outgrown children's books.

But, as someone who's been in the industry for almost a decade, I’ve noticed a connection between the stories that get rejected and those that become best-sellers. And I want to share these 3 secrets with you so you don’t have to spend YEARS spinning your wheels like I did.
