If you have a dream in your heart to write a children’s book, or any book really, then this episode is for you. 

Today, I’m talking with Victoria J. Coe and Cheryl Lawton Malone, children’s literature authors with books we know and love. 

Together, they have written two books designed to launch your writing dreams and fast-track your progress…and I can say from experience that their method WORKS. I’ve already written my first draft of a picture book and am happily revising and tinkering. 

Come listen as they each share their own publishing journey, give us their top tips for taking action on our writing dreams and even give me a little personalized coaching on my own non-fiction picture book draft.

You’ll be ready to write in no time!
