For Authors

Why I’m qualified to assist you:

As an indie author, in less than two years, I have sold over 20,000 copies on Amazon alone. Beyond this, I have won numerous awards for my picture book titles. My book, Masterpiece, was named as one of the TOP 100 indie books in all genres in 2023. My books have been featured in Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, newspapers, magazines, podcasts, numerous blogs, and (for my Canadian friends) CBC and CTV.

Between you and me, I just closed a licensing deal with one of the top 3 education publishers in the world and I am currently in negotiations with the BIGGEST publisher of children's books in the world. I can't publicly identify the publishers just yet, but as soon as I get the go-ahead, I'll be announcing. These deals helped me gain representation and I am thrilled to have signed with an agent this past summer.

When you work with me, you're working with a fellow indie author who is agented and soon to be traditionally published. I have learned the ins and outs of publishing from the ground up. I know how to write and publish a picture book that sells, run a successful book launch, write a press release, reach out to media and market on social media.

I am excited to work with you!

Make Your Manuscript Sparkle
