You don’t have to figure out your picture book journey alone. In one focused hour, I’ll help you tackle roadblocks and map out your next steps with confidence. Whether you’re stuck on the story, unsure about illustrations, puzzled about formatting, or curious how to actually get your book on KDP/Amazon, this one-hour 1:1 mentoring call is designed to give you the clarity you need!

Here’s How We’ll Work Together ✨

Think of this like a simple 3-step adventure to get you ready for your mentoring call:

Step 1: Review the Agreement

Before booking your time spot with me, please take a moment to read the mentorship agreement below so you know exactly what to expect.

Step 2: Fill Out Your Intake Form

As soon as you purchase, you’ll get a link to a short and fun questionnaire. You’ll have 24 hours to complete it, and it asks things like:

• What stage are you at in your picture book journey?
• What’s your biggest challenge right now?
• What 3 questions (in one of the buckets below) would you love guidance on?
  

✨ Pick a Category, Get Clarity: You’ll choose ONE of my five “Picture Book Creation Buckets” for your questions, so we can stay focused and get real traction.

1. ✨ Writing
2. 🎨 Illustrating
3. 📐 Designing & Formatting
4. 🚀 Uploading (KDP publishing)
5. 📣 Marketing
   

👉 After you send in your intake form, you’ll get a follow-up email from me with your Google Meet link.

Step 3: Show Up Ready!

On our call, we’ll dive into your questions, brainstorm solutions, and map out a clear path forward. Calls are on Google Meet — I’ll be on video, and you can join by video or audio, whichever you prefer.

📌 Important: I work on Pacific Time (PST), and I only open mentoring sessions a few times a year. Booking now secures your spot while they’re available.
