Give Your Child the Pride of Becoming a Published Author

From the first idea to a real book they can hold, share, and treasure forever.


Imagine your child’s face when they open a package and pull out their very own book—name on the cover, story inside, and the confidence boost of a lifetime. That proud moment comes after weeks of imaginative learning, where they’ll grow as readers and writers, master storytelling skills, and discover just how capable they truly are.

Your Child Won't Be Writing Alone

I've set up a Private Facebook Group for the students of my course to ask question, offer feedback, and receive feedback on their work. Only members of The Next Author writing course will have access. This is intended to be a safe place to share your work or get help. I ask everyone to be respectful, kind, and helpful; however, no one should share any personal information about themselves with anyone else. Anyone asking for personal information from other students will be removed from the Facebook group. This is safe place for kids, and I hope to keep it that way.

You can find the Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1073869117054378

Please share your paragraphs or stories in the Facebook group for others to see and learn from.
