PICTURE BOOK WRITERS' HUB

Fast-track Your Dreams to Become a Celebrated Children’s Author
Are you a picture book writer who feels stuck?

You've poured your heart into your manuscript, but you still wonder, Is my story working?

​Maybe you've been revising for what feels like forever, but the form rejections keep coming. No agent interest, no publishing offers—just silence. It’s frustrating, confusing, and disappointing. You know there's potential in your stories, but something’s missing.

Is it the craft? Or maybe you haven't connected with the right agent yet?
​

If this sounds like you, you're not alone—and the Picture Book Writers' Hub was created to help writers like you break free from the cycle of uncertainty. It’s time to stop guessing and start making real progress.

In this supportive, expert-led community, you’ll finally get the feedback, guidance, and insider knowledge you need to transform your manuscripts from almost there to ready for submission.


Your stories are worth it—don’t let another rejection letter stop you. Apply for the Picture Book Writers' Hub today and take the next step toward your publishing dream!
​
Is this really different from all the other workshops and courses I’ve tried before? How exactly would it help me?
​Imagine a program where every aspect of your picture book journey is covered—craft, submissions, industry connections, and even the mindset needed for success. That’s what the Picture Book Writers' Hub offers: a complete solution to the frustrations you've been facing.

Unlike other classes or memberships that might only scratch the surface, this program digs deep into the blind spots you didn’t even know were holding you back. You’ll gain a rock-solid foundation in picture book craft, receiving live feedback on your manuscripts and query letters. Plus, you’ll work on multiple projects at once, so by the end, you’ll have not just one but several submission-ready pieces.

But this is more than just craft. You’ll learn how to curate a targeted submission list and prepare a submission package that stands out from the crowd. You'll get to connect directly with industry professionals—agents and editors who are actively looking for new talent—and yes, you’ll have the opportunity for your work to be considered by the very people who can change your writing career.

Why is this program different? Because it’s proven. Writers who have worked with me have signed with agents, secured publishing deals, and launched their author careers. This is not just theory—it’s a system that gets results. From polishing your manuscripts to learning how to market yourself and even earn an income as an author, the Picture Book Writers' Hub is the full package.

Don’t put off your writing dreams any longer. The publishing world is competitive, and the time to act is now. Every day you wait is a missed opportunity to elevate your writing, connect with the right people, and finally see your stories in print.

​Apply for the Picture Book Writers' Hub today—your future as an author starts here.
