Traditional deals. Self-published. The path is yours--we teach both.

We don't just teach you to write.

We teach you the whole business.

Who we are

Two former teachers who know this industry inside out. Vicky is a bestselling author and literary agent. Chelsea is a multi-published, award-recognized author and editor. We built this program the way we taught our classrooms — step by step, no fluff, no confusion. Between us, we've worked with some of the biggest publishers in the industry.

We're Vicky and Chelsea.

We started out where you are now: with a dream but no knowledge about how to become a children's book author. Years of writing, publishing, querying, and working inside the industry went into building this program. You get all of that experience—without the mistakes, dead ends, and wasted years.

“I came to Vicky as a new author preparing to launch my debut title. Vicky provided 1:1 coaching on launching and marketing books, Amazon product page strategy and even provided actionable advice on two of my book covers. Vicky has strong publishing industry knowledge and uses her success to help other authors, too. I highly recommend Vicky’s coaching and webinars.”
