A lot of children's books are only 500 words. How hard can they really be to write?

Yet when you sit down at your computer, you freeze. You know you have a good idea, something you're excited about, but you don't know how to get that onto the page. Where can you even start?

Let's face it -- there's nothing more deceptive than how easy a children's book looks to someone who's never written a story before.

To help avoid getting overwhelmed by the process, you need someone to help you.

That's where this 5-day writing challenge comes in.

For a limited time, you can join the Kidlit Story Jumpstart for just $67 (a $197 Value). With the challenge, you'll receive:

Answers to common questions:

What will I learn in the challenge?

This is a 5-day writing challenge to teach you about how to write a children's book. Each day, you'll get a pre-recorded video lesson to teach you:

What it means to write for the children's book industry
How to know if your idea's a good one
How to create your characters and plot to tell a good story
What to do in order to start writing your first draft

What if I'm brand new. Is there a pre-requisite?

There's no pre-requisite! You don't have to know anything about writing or children's books to be successful. The Story Jumpstart is designed to help anyone who's just starting out with a children's idea know what to do, even if they've never had any previous experience.

Is this only for picture books?

No! One of the biggest misconceptions about children's books is that they're restricted to picture books. We'll debunk that on day 1 when we talk about the different age categories to help you understand which is right for your story idea.

Do I have to attend anything live?

No. All the videos are pre-recorded for you to watch while the jumpstart takes place OR at a later date. You'll have lifetime course access to all the content inside the writing challenge.
