You’ve got an exciting dream to become a published children’s book author.
You know the world needs messages of love, compassion and understanding right now (maybe more than ever). You may even be driven to write a book so that your kids (and millions of others) don’t have to struggle with the same challenges you did when you were young.
You’ve felt excited and motivated about making your dream come true… but that “thing” that always happens is happening again, isn’t it?
Your momentum stalls. Your creativity vanishes. And your dream of writing a kid’s book becomes more of a nightmare when your inner voice starts whispering…
“You’re not good enough, so why bother?”
How would your life be different if you understood the ONE thing that repeatedly turns exciting ideas and forward-momentum into the slow, frustrating crawl that ends with you questioning your worth?
After writing 24 bedtime stories, selling 300,000+ copies, and mentoring dozens of successful first-time children’s book authors, I discovered the secret that can take you from “I’m not good enough” to “I’m finally expressing my unique gift with the world!”.
and I want to show you how to tap into it.

A great book starts with a great manuscript. But not every manuscript becomes a book.
Sometimes you will write multiple manuscripts before you are happy to invest in the illustration, design and printing. We are focussed on giving you the skills to write your first manuscript and set you on a path to many more.
Illustration is not included in this program, but I will be listening to the group needs and providing ways to help. You will leave with a global network of illustrators to select from, and best practices for contracting.
The community will read each other manuscripts and give feedback in a supportive way modeled by Andrew Newman. If it’s critical for you that Andrew personally read your manuscript, please sign up for the Personal Mentorship package.
We will provide you with a step by step guide to self publishing that outlines the process from manuscript to completed book. Conscious Stories LLC does not publish other authors.
You've come to the right place. Your unique voice is valued here. So long as you are being yourself... you'll do great! The process and community will help you heal this limiting belief.
The modules on the Creative Cycle show why this happens and what you can do about it. With that new awareness, you can lean in on community support and celebrate every milestone you reach on the way to completion.
Every creative project starts with nothing. It's a great place to be. We'll be practicing mindfulness and embodiment exercises to free up your creative spark and get your ideas flowing.
What an amazing way to spend your holiday, there is no better time! Your story will percolate as you travel. Just keep a notebook handy for those unexpected moments of inspiration. There are no homework deadlines. This is your vision coming to life in your own timing.
