Services For Self-Publishing Children's Authors
As an author and professional self-publisher, I love helping fellow authors to realise their publishing goals.
I've published 22 books and sold over 135,000 paperback copies - at a profit. I've had 1.3M Kindle Unlimited page reads and been an Amazon best-seller numerous times. I've won literary awards; my latest book was highly commended at The Selfies Awards 2024 at The London Book Fair. I've learned a lot about self-publishing along the way, and I can absolutely help you!

1:1 Mentoring Sessions
The one thing I wish I'd had on my journey is a mentor. An experienced indie author to inspire me, to learn from, to answer my questions, give me a nudge in the right direction, and help make everything a little less lonely and stressful. I can be that someone for you!
I offer pay-as-you-go 1:1 sessions for indie authors looking to learn and succeed in publishing.
Sessions are 60 minutes and cost £125. You can also opt for my accountability package by buying a block of 4 one-hour sessions for £400. They can be face-to-face over coffee (if you're in Milton Keyes) or on Zoom.
Your session(s) will be tailored to your personal goals. You can ask me as many questions as you need during our time. You're guaranteed to come away with a solid action plan and the confidence to go and make it happen! During the sessions, we can cover topics like:
Planning for publishing success
Finding and working with an illustrator
Deciding on printers and book distributors
Launching your book
Book marketing
Amazon ads
Planning and delivering school visits and more!

My 1:1 with Kirstie was absolutely the best thing I could have done at this stage in my indie-publishing journey! Kirstie answered all my questions and more and it’s clear that she knows her stuff and genuinely cares about helping indie-authors to reach their goals. I left the session with a clear idea of my next steps and how to achieve them, and believing that I can turn my small side hustle into a full-time career. Thank you so much Kirstie! I’m sure I’ll be back in the future for more guidance!

This is a different skill set and something I've found we authors often struggle with.

If you're struggling to find the right words, I can help you with:
