"I think the biggest takeaway for me is that one has to be methodical in how you set out to write a children’s book. And you have set out the steps beautifully. I have a tendency to rush ahead then bounce back and forth. I need structure, so your Kidlit Story Jumpstart was incredibly helpful!"

5-Day Challenge FAQs:
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.
When does it take place?
The challenge runs for 5-days via email. (The first lesson will be delivered on September 4th!). At the start of each day, you'll receive a new email with your video lesson for the day.
Do I need to attend anything live?
No. All the videos are pre-recorded for you to watch while the jumpstart takes place. Each video lesson is about 30 minutes long, but try to find an hour each day, so you have time to complete the day's activity, too.
How much time will the writing challenge take?
Each morning, you'll receive an email with the day's video lesson and homework assignment to complete about your story idea. We recommend setting aside 1-hour sometime that day to watch the video and complete the homework based on your idea so you're ready for the next day's lesson.
What if I miss a day? Can I rewatch the lesson?
Yes! Your ticket comes with lifetime access. Meaning, if you miss a day, the video will still be there for you to rewatch. Or if you miss the Jumpstart completely, you'll still be able to watch all the lessons when you're ready.
How much does it cost to sign-up?
The Kidlit Story Jumpstart 5-day writing challenge covers everything you need to know in order to get started with your children's idea. While the normal retail price is $197, you can get your entry ticket for just $67! Simply click the button below to save your spot to grab your ticket.
