Parent INFO SESSION

Your child made a book (or wants to). Let’s explore what comes next — safely, clearly, and together.

Wednesday, February 18, 7 pm MST

A short, parent-centered Zoom session to explain how to move from a classroom project to a keepsake or a publishable book -- with your guidance every step of the way.

WHAT WE'LL COVER (in 35 minutes)

  • Next steps if you want more clarity (our light‑touch Manuscript Assessment or a free Discovery Call).
  • Your role as the decision‑maker — how we keep every step parent‑visible and age‑appropriate.
  • Three possible paths: a beloved keepsake, a school/community edition, or commercial publishing.
  • How to evaluate a manuscript without crushing creativity (strengths first, specific “next edits”).
  • What “publishable” really means for a children’s book — in plain language parents can use with their kids.

WHY PARENTS LOVE THIS SESSION

  • Clarity without pressure. We’ll show options; you decide what fits your child.
  • Kind, confidence‑building approach. We respect the magic of a child’s first book.
  • No jargon. Only the essentials you need to make an informed choice.
  • Privacy & safety first. Parent registration, parent communication, parent visibility. (That’s our default.)

IF YOU WANT MORE THAN THIS SESSION ...

Our Light‑Touch Next Step: Manuscript Assessment
A professional evaluation of your child’s book that highlights strengths, identifies specific opportunities, and recommends a right‑sized path forward.

  • $300 – Written assessment
  • $400 – Written assessment + chat with an editor
  • Parents purchase; parents receive the report; child involvement is always parent‑guided.

(You’ll also have the option to book a free Discovery Call to discuss results and choose among DBY/DWY/DFY approaches.)

Important: There’s no obligation. The info session is designed to stand on its own and help you make a confident choice for your family.
