Turn Your Story Into a Beautiful, Publish-Ready Children’s Book
Professional illustration, layout and publishing guidance for first-time authors - from manuscript to finished book.
You’ve written the story. I’ll help you turn it into a book you’re proud to publish.
Written a children’s book… but not sure what happens next?
You might be wondering:
How many illustrations do I need?
What size should the book be?
How much does this actually cost?
How do I publish it on Amazon?
What if I choose the wrong illustrator?
That’s completely normal.
Most of my clients are first-time authors. They have a brilliant idea - but need someone experienced to guide them through the process.
That’s where I come in.
I don’t just illustrate. I guide.
I help new authors:
✔ Plan their page layout properly
✔ Develop memorable characters
✔ Create consistent, professional illustrations
✔ Format files for Amazon KDP or print
✔ Understand the publishing process
No overwhelm. No guesswork. No “I wish I’d known that earlier”.
You’ll always know what stage we’re at, what happens next, and what the investment is.
