Almost 5 years ago...

Around five years ago, I found a system for writing children's books.

I had been experimenting for about a year and a half when I finally found a series of steps that worked well for children’s book writing. I documented the process in November 2018.

I created a PowerPoint presentation and recorded myself going through it. However, upon reviewing the video, I realized it was dry and uninteresting. I kept recording the course over and over again with the same result.

To make the course more interesting, I thought I would add behind-the-book videos sharing my screen and telling students all the weird things that writer thinks of as they are creating a project from nothing.

I settled on that format and hit publish.

In the first month, only three people signed up for my course, and the following month, only two joined.

Now, over 20,000 writers are writing together on Skillshare and making children’s books of their own. Just yesterday, a writer reached out to tell me that she and her child were taking the class together, and I can’t wait to see what they create.

I would like to invite you to join us, to write a children’s book in 7 days or less. If you’d have us, we’d love to have you. Are you ready to begin?
