About

Hi, there! Welcome to my children’s freelance writing and ghostwriting site. Since, I know you’re on this page to learn a bit about me, let me jump right in.

I live in Long Island, after living in NYC most of my life. I hope to one day move onto the main land of the USA! That’s another story, though.

I’m a mother to two girls (they’re adults, but they’ll always be my girls), grandmother to three grandsons (eight to nineteen), and a wife. Oh, and grandmother to a hyper-crazy, bronco-jumping bernedoodle.

Okay, back to more pertinent information about me.

I’m the founder and editor-in-chief of Writers on the Move, a writing and marketing group of writers and authors, and my now deleted blog Karen Cioffi Writing and Marketing was honored as Writer’s Digest Website of the Week, June 25, 2012.

Along with this honor, Brian A. Klems, online editor for Writer’s Digest, added a wonderful comment: “This site from Karen Cioffi should stand as a model for other freelance writers.”

As a professional writer and author, I have five books published in my own name, and I have years of experience ghostwriting, rewriting, and coaching children’s books (400+). I’m a former lead editor with 4RV Publishing and former staff writer for two online reading comprehension learning centers.

In addition to this, my clients cover the globe: Italy, United Kingdom, Norway, Scotland, Saipan, Jordon, the Philippines, MACAU, Vietnam, and across the United States, including Hawaii. A number of these clients have been series clients and return clients. And, I’ve worked with child psychologists, therapists, professors, principals, teachers, parents, grandparents, business owners, a pediatrician, and even a dentist.

Along with writing, I help children’s authors self-publish their books at Writers on the Move Self-Publishing Service. 

You can check out my published books:

Walking Through Walls (a children’s middle-grade fantasy adventure, set in 16th century China – Children’s Literary Classics 2012 Silver Award)

The Case of the Plastic Rings – The Adventures of Planetman (a children’s fantasy picture book with three superheros working to save a puppy tangled in plastic rings)

The Case of the Slimy Goo – The Adventures of Planetman (a children’s fantasy picture with three superheroes figuring out why fish are belly up on the beach)

The Case of the Stranded Bear – The Adventures of Planetman (a children’s fantasy picture book with three superheros working to save a stranded cub on an ice pack)

Day’s End Lullaby (children’s rhyming bedtime story, with original lullaby and sheet music)

How to Write a Children’s Fiction Book (a 200-page book on writing for children. Click the link to see all it has to offer)

And the fourth picture book in the Planetman series is in the works.

I’ve helped writers go the traditional route and self-publish. One client received interest in a sponsorship with MADD for a children’s picture book I rewrote. Another got interest in her self-published book from one of the Big publishers.

Another client who self-published was contacted by a ‘big’ publisher. They liked her book and wanted her to write another book with a specific theme.

From my fiction writing experience, I now offer a DIY book to help wannabe children’s writers get going and follow through to completion: How to Write a Children’s Fiction Book

And if you need some hand holding, I have FICTION WRITING FOR CHILDREN COURSE.

In regard to my memberships, they include:

Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators
Association of Ghostwriters
Professional Writers Alliance
If you need a children’s writer, you’re in the right place.

As my writing services is growing, I’ve decided to add two top writers to collaborate with thus creating one powerful team. I will be a writing part of all projects, if not the sole writer, and I will be in control of all projects. The writing excellence expected and delivered these past, 10 years is still guaranteed. And, I will still be the one you communicate with. The only difference is I won’t have to turn away clients.
