How to Publish a Children's Book
Without Spending Thousands Upfront
A Step-by-Step Online Course for Authors Wanting to Self Publish

Have you written a children’s book, or dreamed of writing one but felt stuck because you don’t know how to publish it?

This course isn’t built on theories, guesses, or generic advice pulled from the internet.

It’s built on the exact process I used to publish four bestselling children’s books at one of the hardest times of my life when I was:

- dirt broke
- facing my second cancer diagnosis
- going through a divorce and
- navigating a housing crisis with no safety net in sight.

I didn’t have thousands of dollars to spend. I didn’t have connections in the publishing world. I didn’t have a team, a following, or a financial cushion.

And most of all, I didn't have time to waste.

What I did have were stories I believed in and a refusal to let my circumstances dictate my future.  So I figured out how to:

- find illustrators and editors who elevated my work without sacrificing quality,
- create professional, quality children's books,
- run effective campaigns that fully funded my print runs,
- get my books into the hands of families who needed them most.

And it worked.

It worked so well that those books, born out of chaos, fear, and survival, became the foundation of a thriving brand and the Red Balloon Method, a publishing pathway that is now helping authors like you do the same.
