Children’s Book Mentoring

You have a great idea for a children’s book and everyone thinks you need to write it…

Now what?

Or maybe you already published a book but are struggling to get it out in the world.

You don’t have to do it alone…I can help!

Writing a book involves so much more than the mechanics of writing and editing.

It is a deeply vulnerable experience that peels away the many layers of yourself as you allow your Soul to write and speak through you.

That’s why I love being a BOOK DOULA.

Helping authors tell their Story and discover their WHY-their unique reason for telling their Story– is such a sacred privilege.

My Author Mentorships include all the mindfulness practices, visioning tools and writing rituals I have used in my own writing and self-publishing journey.

Three ways you can work with me

Birthing Your Children’s Book Mentorship  

My Signature Program is a sacred container to discover your writing voice so that you can share your Story in the way that only YOU can share it!

This program will guide you step-by-step through the entire self-publishing process including:

  • writing your book
  • editing your manuscript
  • finding an illustrator who will bring your book to life
  • deciding what publishing route or platform to use
  • printing and distributing your book so it gets in the hands of little readers everywhere
  • mindfulness practices and tools to connect with yourself and support your writing process

If you have a story inside you that longs to be told, I would love to find out more about you and your book! I would be honored to support you in birthing your book or helping you share your beautiful children’s book with the world!

This mentorship is for aspiring authors who want to write a children’s picture book, board book or a chapter book that is under 4000 words.

Marketing Magic Mentorship

This program will help you identify your WHY and create marketing goals that are aligned with your purpose so that you can attract your ideal audience and start selling your book! This program is for new and established authors who want support in any area of book marketing and promotion, including:

  • building an author platform
  • planning and executing a successful book (or new book) launch
  • creating a social media strategy
  • writing clear and effective website and promotional copy

Editing Magic Mentorship

EDITORIAL ASSESSMENT starting at $275

This assessment gives an overview of your book idea and makes suggestions on the parts of the book that aren’t working so you can improve on them.


This may include finding plot or page transition issues, instances of show versus tell, misplaced scenes, or overused language, dialogue, etc. I also look at word count and page count. 

I will send back a marked-up manuscript and a full editorial letter, detailing what I think still needs work, along with suggestions on how to improve your manuscript.

DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING starting at $375

This is a line-by-line review of your manuscript. There will be 2 revisions.  The first will look at overall plot and transitions, as well as the formatting of text, etc. The overall focus is to ensure that the text is kid-friendly (at a level that children will understand) and will examine the effectiveness of the plot structure. Based on my 1st review, you will make your revisions and then submit for the final review.


I can also combine BOTH SERVICES  (Editorial assessment and 2 rounds of developmental line-editing)

PROOFREADING starting at $120

(for a 1000 word manuscript)

PLEASE NOTE : Rates for all editing services will depend on word count.

Meet Your Book Doula

I am a self-published author and poet with over 25 years of writing, editing and publishing experience. I started my career in children’s book publishing in the marketing department of Scholastic, Inc. and have worked as an educator and children’s yoga and mindfulness business owner for over 23 years.

Little did I know that one day all that experience throughout my journey would help me to fulfill my own dream of becoming a published author!

Thousands of children have enjoyed my book Lucinda’s Magical Yoga Adventure in homes, schools, libraries and yoga studios throughout the United States and globally. I have been mentoring children’s book authors since 2020 and have guided 12 authors in writing, publishing and marketing their children’s books.
