Description
Have you always wanted to write a children's book? Do you have a great children's book idea, but can't seem to get it out of your brain and onto the page? Do you want to write a children's book, but the right idea just hasn't found you yet?
You are in the right place, my friend!
Warm up your writing muscles, people! The time has come! I'm making a writing course.
I've been teaching yoga for years. The time has come to move on to other exciting teaching adventures!
Let's write some children's books together, shall we?
In this course, I will show you exactly how I identify story idea versus concepts and map out a story. I will also show you how I outline, draft and ultimately finish a children's picture book.
This course will only cover the writing
The other facets of writing a children's picture book such as illustrating it yourself or finding an illustrator, formatting, and publishing will be covered in future course.
None of that stuff is important if you don't have a story! So, let's get through the most important part first.
If you're ready to start, join the class now!
What are you waiting for?!
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who wants to write a children's book, but has never gotten around to doing it.

Hello, I'm Barbara. I am a children's book author from Nashville, TN. Since 2016, I've written and published four children's books and two coloring books.
My writing career started in ghost writing for health and wellness websites (as I am a certified Lifestyle Fitness Coach).
I have always wanted to be a writer and have dabbled in writing copy, personal essays, poetry, children's literature, and most recently science fiction.
My ultimate goal to write a book for almost every genre.
