Hey, I'm Brooke Van Sickle!

And I want to make it easier (and way less confusing) for you to know if your children's book idea is worth pursuing.

When I started out, I had no clue what made a children's book idea "good enough." I just knew I wanted to write something meaningful for kids, but I was stuck, second-guessing every concept and wishing someone would just tell me the truth about what actually works.

So I learned.

I built systems and frameworks. I wrote, revised, and—yes—made a million mistakes. And along the way, I turned those lessons into tools that helped me create award-winning books (like the Mom's Choice Award and Distinguished Favorite Picture Book honors).

Now, I want to help you skip the confusion and get to the good part: clarity.

With the Kidlit Market Analyzer, you'll get an instant, honest check on your idea's potential. Plus, get a simple, personalized roadmap so you always know your next step and never have to wonder, "Is this really worth writing?" again.

Let's make sure this becomes the book you'll be proud to write, finish, and share with the world. 🙌

Kidlit Market Analyzer | Know for certain if your children's book is ready for publishers

"Nailed it. These are a few of the things I've been struggling with in my developmental edit. It brought up a point I pondered this morning as I sent my manuscript to you. It was good to get the affirmation that I SHOULD have been pondering this issue. Now to fix it. Great resource!" - Nancy Anderson

Answers to Your Questions:

What's included with the Kidlit Market Analyzer?

You'll receive instant feedback on where your children's book idea stands in today's market, a clear "Story Seal of Approval" rating (showing your idea's potential), and a personalized action plan with step-by-step recommendations to strengthen your concept—plus a printable next steps checklist. You'll also have the option to add a human "Written Critique" for deeper feedback if you have a draft ready.

Is the Kidlit Story Analyzer the same as an edit or critique?

No, this isn't a traditional critique or editorial review. The Analyzer gives you a clear market potential check for your story idea, highlighting how your concept fits with today's standards and what you can do to move forward confidently. If you want detailed feedback on your actual writing, you can add a Written Critique at checkout.

How quickly do I get my results?

You'll receive your analysis and action plan instantly—no waiting or wondering if it went through. Everything you need will be available on-screen within minutes of submitting your story idea.

Do I need a finished manuscript for feedback?

While you can get feedback on just your idea, the Market Analyzer works best when it can evaluate your full manuscript from a publisher's perspective.

Is my story private and protected?

Your privacy matters—a lot. When you submit your story idea to the Kidlit Market Analyzer, your concept is never shared, published, or used for any other purpose. It's reviewed securely and only for your personal feedback—never for anyone else's use. What you create belongs to you, always.

How does it work exactly?

After purchase, you'll input your story idea through a simple form—just your concept, target age, and basic plot details. Within minutes, you'll get your full analysis and custom action plan right on your screen and in your inbox.

What's the investment?

Just $37. No recurring fees, no hidden upsells. You'll also have the option to add a human-led Written Critique at checkout if you want extra support when you have a draft ready.
