Your picture book deserves to exist in the real world.

You’ve carried the story long enough.
I’ll show you how to finally publish it — step by step, without overwhelm.

You’re not stuck because you’re not creative.

You’re stuck because publishing feels confusing.

❓ Do you illustrate it yourself… or hire someone?
❓ What size should it be?
❓ How do ISBNs even work?
❓ What if you do it wrong?

When you’re a busy parent.
Or teacher.
Or retired … but finally ready.

It’s not that you don’t care.
It’s that you don’t have time to untangle the industry alone.

Self-Publishing Course

FROM MY STUDENTS:

“I started the course with only an idea for my book — and within a few months, I had a completed file ready for the printer.

This course saved me SO much time.”

Michele Michael, Artist + Mom of 2

If I can do it, you can too!

These are the books I’ve written, illustrated, and brought to life — start to finish.

Holding your own book in your hands changes everything.

You can order directly or find them in local shops.

These books started as ideas,
just like yours.

Inside Publish That Picture Book, students follow clear, manageable steps from draft to finished, print-ready file.

This could be you.

Big dreams deserve a real plan.

Hi, I’m Kristen — artist, author, and mama of two little girls who believe in popsicles for breakfast and sprinkle soup for dinner. I’ve built my creative life one baby step at a time, self-publishing my own books and helping others do the same.

Because stories don’t have to stay tucked away in notebooks.
