KRISTINE McQUOWN, Published author of Good Boy, Nacho!
You’ve been thinking about writing a children’s book for a while…
Because you have a message you know will impact children’s lives.
It might be a beloved tale you’ve told your children or grandchildren as you tucked them into bed, an encouraging story you wish you had been told as a child, or a dream of a story that hasn’t even fully taken shape yet.
But…
You don’t know how to turn that message into a compelling, cherished story that children will delight in – for years to come.
I bet this sounds familiar…
“It gave me the confidence to get my book published…”
Pursuing your dream of writing a children’s book can be intimidating…
(I understand – I was there too!) First, there’s the story – sometimes it comes naturally, other times it takes a while to figure out what you want to write about.
Then, there’s the actual writing – how do I write something children will want to read again and again?
And finally, there’s finding an illustrator, designing the book, publishing… it feels so impossible…
And before you know it, you’ve talked yourself out of it – and with a sigh, you close the proverbial page on your dreams.
If this sounds like you – you are NOT alone.
There are so many writers with a powerful message to share – that never actually write or publish their books because everything else feels more important.
But what if your story IS important?
Not just for you and your dreams – but for the young minds that really need to hear your message. What if your story can make a difference?
Before you give up on your book forever…
Children’s Book Masterclass is
A complete, step-by-step guide showing you exactly how to draft, write, design, publish, and market a bestselling children’s book – so your story could empower children around the world

A bestselling children’s author, publisher, and public speaker – on a mission to bring inspiring, delightful stories into the world one author at a time.
But 13 years ago – I had no idea what I was doing. I had so many ideas locked up in my head and no idea where to begin.
After a ton of trial and error – countless rough drafts, hurt feelings, hundreds of prayers, and $30,000 invested –
– I discovered a formula for publishing a bestselling children’s book that could be systematized and repeated, again and again.
And I’m going to share it with you.

I know writing a book feels SO far away ….
But can we let you in on a secret?
Every author was once where you are.
And every author has asked themselves – can I really do this? Why would anyone care what I have to say?
What makes my story any different than the rest?
BUT WHAT IF...
Your story isn’t about you.
What if – your story in your unique way of telling it – impacts the people who were meant to hear it and changes their lives forever?
The Children’s Book Masterclass is your complete guide to writing, designing, publishing, and launching a children’s book – that’ll have young one’s asking "Can we read it one more time?”
When I published my first book, I made a goal to impact 100,000 children around the world – with an international event that set a Guinness World Record ™ …
But the honest truth is – if your story resonates with the right child in the right way – you have changed a life forever. And that child may go on armed with the courage to do big things – changing lives and possibly the world – forever.
When I started out, I had no idea what I was doing.
It took countless tears, hundreds of hours, prayers, and yes – a TON of money – to publish my first book.
To publish a high-quality picture book, it could easily cost 30k – and take years of your life!
And that’s the exact reason why I’ve created this course. Armed with the experience of author Sharon Jennings – the trials and tribulations of my own personal experience – & special guests Jack Canfield and Lana Button – Children’s Book Masterclass will save you from so many costly mistakes.
(for a fraction of what my first book cost – you’ll get everything you need to know to successfully write, publish, and launch your children’s book!)
