Hey there, storyteller! I absolutely believe you’ve got a beautiful, funny, meaningful children’s book inside you—one that sounds like you and lights real kids up when they read it.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone. This is where your story finds its shape, your voice gets clearer, and your confidence as a children’s author truly begins.

INTRODUCING
Write children's books that hook young readers—and actually sell.
(Yeah, this is the one about making a book that kids love AND parents actually buy.)
I’m not handing you some generic “just follow your passion” fluff. I’m giving you exactly what you need to get that story out of your head and onto the page—without losing your voice, your spark, or your sanity.
Say goodbye to that “I have no idea what I’m doing” feeling (which, by the way, usually means you’re about to level up). And say hello to a proven, step-by-step writing system that takes you from “Where the bloody hell do I start?” to “Holy heck—I’ve actually got this.”
This course isn’t just about writing a book. It’s about creating a story that:
🟡 Hooks kids by the heartstrings
🟡 Has real sales potential
🟡 Reflects your unique voice and vision
Whether you’re dreaming up your first picture book, plotting a middle-grade adventure, or floating somewhere in between—this is your roadmap. No guesswork. No overwhelm. Just a clear, supported path forward.
If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t know where to start,” or “Will anyone even read this?”—you’re not alone. And more importantly: you’re in the right place.
Writing happens in cycles and layers (just like life), and I’ll walk you through every single one. By the end of this course, you won’t just hope your book is finished—you’ll know it. And you’ll know exactly what comes next.

You’ve got the dream—just not the map (yet).
You’ve got this beautiful story idea… but then comes the confusion, the self-doubt, the late-night Google spirals that leave you more overwhelmed than when you started.
Maybe you’ve even thought about giving up. (I’ve been there—staring at my laptop wondering if I was completely delusional about this whole writing thing.)
But here’s the truth:
Your story deserves to be told. And the kids who need it? They deserve to read it.
Writing a great children’s book that actually sells isn’t just about pouring your heart into it (though yes, that’s a big part). You also need a strategy. And most aspiring authors—bless their well-meaning hearts—don’t know what they don’t know.
That’s where this course comes in.
Because learning how to craft a commercially strong picture book, illustrated chapter book, or middle-grade novel is the secret sauce to standing out in a sea of submissions (or self-published titles). It’s what helps your story connect with young readers and gives your book the best chance of success.
And yes—you really can have both:
💛 A book with heart.
💛 A book that sells.
Still not sure this is what you need?
LET ME SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT'S INSIDE:
🟡 My step-by-step writing roadmap that takes you from “I don’t even know what I’m doing” to “Holy moly, I finished a book I’m proud of!” (Without the hair-pulling, panic, or existential dread along the way.)
🟡 All the embarrassing mistakes I made with my early books—so you don’t have to learn the hard way. Because hey, we’re all geniuses at giving advice to others. So let me be wise for you here.
🟡 The secret to writing with heart and personality—without selling out to trends. We’ll unlock that authentic, creative part of you (and turn the volume down on your inner critic).
🟡 The “cycles and layers” writing approach that artists instinctively understand. Great books aren’t built in one perfect draft—they’re crafted in thoughtful layers. I’ll show you exactly how.
🟡 The inside scoop on what today’s readers, parents, and gatekeepers actually want in children's books. (Spoiler: It’s not just a cute idea. And yes, you’ll get specific advice tailored to your story.)
🟡 And most importantly? You’ll know when your book is done. That quiet moment when something clicks—and you realize you’ve created something you’re truly proud of. A book kids love. A book parents buy. A book that has a real shot at success.
Let me be real:
This isn’t one-size-fits-all advice. Every lesson is designed to help you find and refine your own unique voice—not squeeze you into someone else’s formula. Because great books (and great authors) don’t come from cookie-cutter strategies.
Buuuuuuuuuuuut… here’s the problem…
You’ve got that story in your heart, but turning it into a strong, sellable children’s book? That’s a whole different ballgame.
You know there’s something special there—but you're stuck. Stuck on how to shape it into something that actually works in today’s market.
You’ve probably read dozens of children’s books (maybe even started writing your own), but something just isn’t clicking.
And that? It’s completely normal. We all go through this.
Annnnnnnd:
You're staring at a half-finished draft wondering what the bloody hell is missing. The second-guessing is relentless:
"Is this any good?"
"Will anyone read this?"
(Fun fact: That “I don’t know what I’m doing” feeling? It usually means you’re growing.)
You want a book kids love and parents buy—but you’re stuck on what actually makes children’s books work.
It’s frustrating as hell.
And your worst fear?
You finally hit “publish”… and... crickets.
No sales. No readers. Just silence.
BUT IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE THIS WAY.
This is where I come in.
Think of me as that wise, slightly cheeky friend who can see the potential you can’t quite see yet. The one who helps you get out of your own way—without losing your spark in the process.
Been Here Before But Didn't Get the Results You Hoped For?
Maybe you’ve already written a children’s book—or even self-published—but didn’t get the traction you hoped for.
Maybe you queried agents, submitted to publishers, or launched your book… and then: silence.
You’re not alone.
And you are not out of options.
The Picture Book & Middle-Grade Writing Blueprint isn’t just for beginners.
It’s for writers who are ready to reset, rebuild, and finally get the traction you’ve been missing.
You’ll get tools to tighten your story, sharpen your structure, and confidently shape your next steps—plus feedback, support, and a proven process that’s helped other authors turn things around.
What if you could finally write a children’s book you’re proud of—and know it has what it takes to actually connect with readers and generate sales?
I know what it’s like to stare at a half-finished draft, wondering if you’re completely off track—or if the story in your heart will ever become something kids actually love (and parents actually buy).
That’s exactly why I created The Picture Book & Middle-Grade Writing Blueprint—a proven, step-by-step system that takes you from “What now?” to “I’ve got this!” in no time.
After 25+ years in the industry and building a full-time self-publishing career, I’ve poured everything I’ve learned into this course—so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
We’ll cover it all: story structure, character development, writing for today’s market, and most importantly—how to push past those mental blocks that slow you down.
This is your key to writing a book you’re proud of—and one that actually sells.
P.S. With my no-risk, money-back guarantee, you’ve literally got nothing to lose—and everything to gain. Let’s make this happen.

Why I'm the Perfect Guide to Help You Write a Children's Book That Connects and Sells
Hey there! I’m Elena Paige—children’s author, intuitive writing coach, and an enthusiastic cheerleader for slightly terrified but wildly talented creatives (that’s you!).
Let’s be real: writing a children’s book can feel like assembling IKEA furniture without screws or instructions—while also wondering if you’re holding the whole thing upside down. Been there.
Years ago, I woke up every day with a whisper: “I want to be a children’s book author.”
By 11 AM? I’d talked myself out of it completely. "What are you thinking? This is ridiculous."
Then one day, I flipped through my journal and saw that dream scribbled down over and over for two years. And every time, I had shut it down.
Fast-forward to today:
I’ve published 25 children’s books across picture books, chapter books, and middle grade.
And I’ve helped hundreds of writers unlock their creativity, get unstuck, and finally finish the stories that have been whispering to them.
I didn’t get here by being perfect. I got here by being stubborn, curious, and building a process that didn’t feel like pulling my soul out through my keyboard.
This course is exactly what I wish I had when I started.
Structured but flexible. Deep but playful.
It meets you right where you are—whether that’s “I have this amazing idea!” or “I’ve got 34 half-finished drafts and no clue what to do next.” (Been there too.)
I’ll never forget when I shared my first book, Lolli and the Lollipop, and someone close to me said, "Yeah… my kids didn’t really like it. I don’t think this writing thing is for you."
I felt ill. I drove around despondent for days.
Then, someone else emailed me to say their child was transformed by that same book. They loved it. And I had to decide: Which voice do I believe?
That book later became part of a program used in parts of Africa to help kids reshape how they think and believe in themselves. It didn’t make a million dollars. But it changed lives.
Here’s what I know for sure:
🟡 You don’t need to write like anyone else.
🟡 You don’t need a writing degree or rigid rules (kids’ books are where rule-breaking shines!).
🟡 You do need a process that works—and someone who believes in you when you’re not quite believing in yourself yet.
That’s me.
That’s this course.
And that’s the magic we’re going to create together.
If you’re ready to write a book that connects, resonates, and lights up tiny (and not-so-tiny) hearts—
I’m in your corner, cheering loudly and showing up with snacks.
Let’s do this thing. 💛
But wait—you might be thinking:
“I’m not experienced enough to write a children’s book.”
Can I tell you something?
That’s exactly what I thought—for years.
I convinced myself it was a silly idea. That I didn’t have what it takes.
But here’s the truth:
You don’t need a fancy writing degree.
You don’t need ten years in a candlelit cabin.
You just need heart, imagination, and a process that works.
You know what kids really want?
They want wonder. Magic. Whimsy.
They want big emotions and make-believe that makes them laugh, gasp, and think.
They want to feel something.
And the beautiful thing about writing children’s books?
You’re allowed to break all the rules.
Remember: the publishing industry didn’t even know what it had with Harry Potter—and it got rejected over and over.
So who knows?
Your story might be the next big thing.
Or it might quietly change the life of one child who needed it most.
Either way… it deserves to be written.
GET ALL OF THIS FOR JUST $147

(Trust me, I know exactly how that goes.)
I’m so excited to help you bring your children’s book to life.
