Let's Get You On Your Way.
Have your plans in order, but need to talk it out? Let's do it. For one hour, you can call me your personal KidLit coach. Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned author, I'll help you brainstorm and answer questions so you get instant feedback. Plus, I'll review up to 1,200 words of material before the call (think manuscripts, proposals, websites, newsletter funnels, etc.)
Private Consultation & strategy call
Either way, I'm your girl. Together we can tackle any step in your KidLit journey. (Or as many as we can squeeze in!) I can help you work through a manuscript, consider what steps you need to take to get it published, or work with you to develop a strategy for marketing and selling your project (I like to refer to this as "stewardship"). I can even help you with your author website, your social media strategy, or your email funnels. You name it, I'm ready.
Sometimes, you need the big-picture person: the one who looks at everything going on and helps you know the next steps to get there...or you need the details person, who can zero in on that one thing hanging you up and help you jump over the hurdle.
You don't have to do it alone.

Working with Laura in KidLit Coaching was a great experience for me. I feel much more equipped going forward as a writer with all kinds of resources that will help mold and shape my writing.
"Laura encouraged me in the path that was best for me as a person, not just an author"

Laura met me exactly where I was, and I certainly did not leave the same. Her ability to take you through ideation to the strategic and technical planning part of the creative process in a clear and concise way in which you will understand, is what sets her apart from others. I left feeling inspired, empowered, and like I had just got off a call with a lifelong friend.
