____ Brooke Dean
Amazon bestselling author of Parker’s Markers

"Thank you for taking such a personal approach to helping us! This has been an experience like none other"

- Julie V., Children's Book Publishing Academy student

"The [Children’s Book Publishing] Academy has been completely essential to me creating and publishing my books. 

Any detail you can think of for publishing your children’s book, KJ covers it.  Then she covers the hundreds more you have never thought of! The support was great as well.  She was always happy to help out on every question I threw at her and she continues to work to make the class better! I have been recommending this to everyone I talk to about self publishing!"

____ Ken Waldecker
Author of award-winning children's book, Princess Ella and the Great Squirrel Chase

"I wish I would have joined sooner. I've learned more in the few hours I've spent in this course already than I have in the last several months trying to figure out how to publish on my own. Best money I've spent."

- Anna Norgaard, Children's Book Publishing Academy student

"I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Kjersten for creating this amazing course.

As someone who always had ideas for books but felt overwhelmed by the writing process, I felt stuck when it came to publishing. Thanks to the clear and outlined steps in this course, I feel like I finally have a solid path to follow and can focus more on what I love: writing! Throughout the course, Kjersten has been exceptional in keeping us updated on changes to various platforms and industry expectations that impact self-publishing, while providing valuable coaching and support at every stage of the publishing process. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to turn their book ideas into a reality!"

____ Alishea Jurado
Author of Growing Our Hearts: New Baby, New Groove

"Kjersten has been an amazing resource in my research on book publishing. She provided a clear and thorough step-by-step to-do list which made the seemingly overwhelming process seem possible, and she has been available and encouraging all along the way. I can highly recommend her services and support!"

- Anna Keville Joyce

"Kjersten provided me incredible insight to get started as a first time author. 

She covered everything from how to negotiate royalties, to where to find barcodes, to how to build a marketing plan. If I had needed to research it all on my own it would have taken months. I was able to successfully publish my book on time and sell thousands of copies. I cannot recommend working with Kjersten enough!"

____ AK Ratti
Author of award-winning children’s book, My Travel Alphabet

"We did it! It was Kjersten's guidance, insight, resources, and encouragement that made the very complicated maze of self publishing seem (almost) easy.

So much time was saved, and so many roadblocks were averted through her knowledge and very clear roadmap. Kjersten is the sherpa of self-publishing, don't try to scale this mountain without her."

____ Punch Robinson

She's been here from the beginning until now to help and advise me on anything I need to know about self-publishing. She is very professional, flexible and personable which gave me lots of confidence and motivation. I can highly recommend her services!"
