Children are a gift and reward from Heaven above. As an author who loves Jesus, you have the precious responsibility to steward your words well, including obeying what God has called you to do.

What if I can’t draw or illustrate my book?
We know this is a massive roadblock for many authors writing a children’s book. Our professional illustrators will bring you real life examples of different color palettes that work well together. We even give you the exact HEX codes to give to your illustrator when you start coloring your book. After you sign up for the workshop, you will be offeredCharacter Calling, which is an exclusive opportunity to have your main character drawn by a professional illustrator.
What if I’ve never written a book before? Can I start with a children’s book?
Absolutely.
You don’t have to be a published author to write a children’s book! Every aspiring writer needs to start somewhere, and this workshop is a great place to build the confidence to develop a character that will stand the test of time, whether you stick to the children’s genre or branch out into other genres later.
There are children’s book classes and guidebooks already out there, so how is this any different?
We are building a pure platform of Christian children’s book authors that will host God’s presence. It is a safe space to begin to dream, create, and brainstorm with like-minded Kingdom authors in a loving and serving community. Plus, our community of authors and aspiring authors have a true desire to do good in the world through their writing, not for their own fame or fortune.
