Services For Self-Publishing Children's Authors
As a pro self-publisher, I love helping fellow authors achieve their own success!
I've published 36 titles and sold over 150,000 paperback copies - at a profit. I've had 1.6M Kindle Unlimited page reads and been an Amazon best-seller numerous times. I've picked up numerous book awards along the way and been shortlisted for The Selfies Award three years in a row.
Now I want to use my knowledge and experience to help you!

"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!"

Writing Services
You're an author, so writing your book is probably going to be the easy part. But you also need to write the words that will sell your book. This is a different skill set and something I've found we authors often struggle with. With experience in copyrighting, as well as running my own publishing business, I've developed a knack for writing words that sell.
