Children’s Book School

Write & Publish a Children’s Book Kids Love, Parents Can’t Wait to Buy, and Teachers Want in Class

PROGRAM

Children’s Book School

Contrary to what most people think, writing and publishing children’s books is even harder than other types of books, with little information out there about how to do it well. You may have stumbled across resources to show you what goes in to the story, what themes are important, but what about the unique process of publishing and promoting books specific to kids?

Children’s books are some of the most important literature in the world. Shaping a young mind can help children carry those lessons through to their adulthood…but if your book is never seen or read, those messages can become mute.

With our program, we understand that children’s books require a unique writing, illustrating, and publishing process like no other books.

And we’ve created the step-by-step system to help you write and publish children’s books kids love, parents can’t wait to buy, and teachers want in class.

Our Children’s Book School was created by a bestselling children’s author who has experience writing, publishing, and coaching children’s books, along with inside methods to book school speaking gigs and sell more books on and outside of Amazon.

“I was a bit into the book process when I joined SPS. I wanted to take the steps to ensure that I produced the best quality children’s book that I could. I felt that education and mentorship of those who have gone before me would be necessary in order to accomplish a children’s book worthy of being on a family’s bookshelf.

“I decided to join SPS because I saw it as a formalized vehicle to tackle my macro level goal of creating systemic change in social justice in children’s literature. I would tell someone on the fence of joining SPS to just do it. Originally, money or a little bit of time commitment was somewhat of a barrier, but I loved the question somebody asked me on my clarity call: ‘What would be the cost of not doing it?’ And that right there convinced me.”

“I have dyslexia and huge self doubt. My anxiety levels went through the roof thinking about how I could achieve my goal. I had no idea where to even start.I know I couldn’t have done it without SPS! The program, the network of incredible people and their support, and guidance! Take the chance on yourself because the feeling of self satisfaction is unmeasurable!”

3 Programs to Take You From Published to Beyond the Book

Are You a Fit for Self-Publishing School?

We don’t accept everyone who wants to work with us simply because we don’t fit everyone’s needs. To ensure your success (which is our goal!), let’s make sure you’re a fit for our programs.

YES!

You want to prioritize a book THIS year.

You’re excited to do the work yourself (or have an assistant / someone on your team help).

You’re ready to invest in yourself and your future.

You want a trusted and proven, step-by-step process to follow toward success.

You care about getting leads, sales & referrals from the book…not just publishing it.

Fitforsps

NOT YET

You’re not ready to prioritize your goals this year.

You’re not ready to invest in your goals right now.

You want a “ghostwriting” writing and publishing service (you don’t want to do the work yourself).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: I’ve read that you provide some “Done for You” services. What does that include?

Great question! We have learned over the years that the writing is actually the easy part. But things like cover design, formatting, author websites, getting your ISBN number are some of the tasks that slow busy people like you down and often are roadblocks that end up costing you thousands to get done elsewhere. Most other companies just give you “advice” about how or where to get these tasks done and then you have to go pay even more money for them elsewhere. But here at Self-Publishing School we actually provide all of these things to you within our different programs. We have hired some of the best professional cover designers and book formatters in the world who will personally design your cover and format your book. Best part is that it’s included in our programs! Schedule a call now to talk to one of our coaches and learn more about these amazing services that won’t cost you a dime extra!

Q2: Do you help me even if my book is already written?
Yes! If you haven’t even started or have the book already written, we here at Self-Publishing School have a program for your next steps toward success—no matter your goals!
Q3: Are you a publishing house or will you publish the book on Amazon for me?
No, and this is the best part! We fully teach you how to write, market, and publish your book all by yourself in a step-by-step, repeatable process that empowers you to take control, self-publish for more royalties, and enables you to publish more books with life-time access to our materials.
Q4: How long does it take to be able to write fiction full-time?
Building a full-time fiction career is a long-term game, though we’ve managed to cut down this process significantly from that of traditional publishing. The length of time entirely depends on the author’s time spent, dedication, and how diligently they follow our step-by-step programs.
Q5: Can I still get traditionally published if I self-publish my book now?
Yes! In fact, having success self-publishing your fiction books can make it even easier for you to get an agent and a book deal. Proving your writing, your stories, and your platform increases the likelihood that those you query will pay attention to you. Now, more than ever before, agents and publishing houses are looking toward your platform, book sales, and email list size as indicators of whether or not they want to work with you.
Authors like Margaret Atwood (Handmaid’s Tale), Andy Weir (The Martian), and E.L. James (Fifty Shades of Grey) all started by self-publishing.
Q6: Do I have to book a call in order to get started?

Yes! Part of our enrollment process includes a 1-hour call with a Publishing Success Strategist to ensure you’re a good fit for us, we’re a good fit for you, and to get you started in the right program and with the right coach to fit your needs.

You can start by scheduling your call right here.

Q7: Do you take royalties from my published book?

Absolutely not. We are an online education company, not a publisher, which means you keep 100% of the profits you make from your book royalties, unlike traditionally published authors making sometimes less than 10% of their book’s earnings.

Q8: Do you offer payment plans for your programs?

Yes. Our payment plans are listed alongside the pay-in-full pricing.

Q9: How long do I have access to the program for?

For life! You’ll maintain your login and access to the online program portion forever.

Q10: What is “group coaching”?

Our group coaching calls happen daily, and you’re free to join whichever call makes sense with the stage you’re in. These allow for our authors to mingle, ask questions and get answers, learn from one another, and make progress together, fully guided by one of our own coaches.

Q11: What types of books do you teach us to publish (paperback, audiobooks, genres)?

We teach you how to create and self-publish all types of books (even hardback). This includes ebook, Kindle, paperback, children’s books, and the entire audiobook production and publishing process as well.

Q12: Do you ONLY help write and publish a book?

Nope! Here at Self-Publishing School, we can help you write and publish a book successfully AND continue your success Beyond The Book, no matter your goals. We have programs to help you gain promotion for your book via PR and Speaking, sell more books on Amazon through advanced marketing tactics, and even help you build and launch an online course that’s connected to your book and mission.

Q13: Do you edit the book and design the cover for me?

Yes.

Q14: How soon can I start?

If there is a time available for your 1-hour strategy call today, you can start as soon as today! Ultimately, you can start the very same day you decide to join Self-Publishing School with immediate program login access.

Q15: Why should I choose to work with SPS instead of a publisher or another Self Publishing Company?

Self-Publishing School is dedicated to giving you the tools to create real change for yourself with our industry-breaking methods and techniques. As one of the earliest companies in the self-publishing game (before it was “mainstream” to consider self-publishing), we believe in teaching you to fish to feed yourself for a lifetime, instead of simply handing you the fish and then charging you each time you need to eat again. By working with us, you will grow a larger network of like-minded people, stronger skills in goal setting and self-motivation, and you will ultimately learn how to achieve your goals—repeatedly.

Q16: How is the Children’s Book School different from Fundamentals of Fiction?

Children’s Book School is best suited for toddler books, picture books, and early reader books that have many illustrations.

Fundamentals of Fiction is best suited for chapter books, from middle school up to young adult books.

If you have questions about the specifics of your book and which program you should enroll in, please discuss it with your publishing strategist when you book a call.
