Coaching

If you want to write a children’s book on your own but you don’t know how, or you don’t feel confident enough to jump in, or you need help to get from point A to B, I can help.

You can skip my qualifications and scroll down for the Picture Book Coaching Program details.

So, what are my qualifications?

I’m the founder and editor-in-chief of Writers on the Move, a writing and marketing group of writers and authors, and my 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 years of experience ghostwriting and rewriting children’s books (over 350 books). You can also check out my own traditionally published books on my Books page. In addition, I’m a former lead editor with 4RV Publishing, and former staff writer for two online reading comprehension learning centers.

Along with this, I’ve had clients from all over the world: Italy, United Kingdom, Norway, Scotland, Saipan, Jordon, the Philippines, MACAU, Vietnam, and across the United States, including Hawaii. And, I’ve worked with child psychologists, therapists, professors, teachers, parents, grandparents, business owners, and even a dentist.

And more importantly, I have return clients and series clients.

The 4-WEEK CHILDREN’S PICTURE BOOK WRITING PROGRAM:

Here’s what you get with this $399.99 program:

• Hand-holding as you write your own book. I’ll provide an e-copy of my book “How to Write a Children’s Fiction Book” and you’ll start your story.
• Weekly calls (15 to 20 minutes) to go over what you’ve done, and I’ll guide you through the process. I’ll review each period’s work and give you constructive feedback and guidance.
• Review your manuscript to make sure it’s formatted properly.
• Will suggest a couple of quality illustrators if you’re self-publishing.
• My 29-page, no fluff, “DIY Self-Publishing (From Manuscript to Publication).” It’ll help you take your manuscript onto the self-publishing path.

I also recommend three specific traditionally published picture books to study during the program.

Please note that if PayPal is used, there will be an additional 5% added to the total.

THE 10-WEEK CHILDREN’S PICTURE BOOK WRITING PROGRAM:

Here’s what you get with this $999.99 program:

  • Hand-holding as you write your own book. I’ll provide an e-copy of my book “How to Write a Children’s Fiction Book” and you’ll start your story.
  • Weekly calls (15 to 30 minutes) to go over what you’ve done, and I’ll guide you through the process. I’ll review each period’s work and give you constructive feedback and guidance.
  • Go at your own speed. Take 8, 9, or 10-weeks, all for $100 per week.
  • If weekly calls are too often for you, we can have calls every other week.
  • Review of your manuscript to make sure it’s formatted properly.
  • Basic tips on submitting to traditional publishers.
  • Review of your book’s synopsis and description.
  • Advice on self-publishing.
  • Will suggest a couple of quality illustrators if you’re self-publishing.
  • My 29-page, all content ebook, “DIY Self-Publishing (From Manuscript to Publication).” It’ll help you take your manuscript onto the self-publishing path.
  • My DIY eCourse “Build Your Author Platform in 4-Weeks.” I used to instruct this class through WOW! Women on Writing and it’s an important element all authors should be aware of whether traditionally publishing or self-publishing. This is a $97 value!
  • I also recommend three specific traditionally published picture books to study during the program.

SCAM ALERT

There are ghosting sites that are stealing the profiles of reputable ghostwriters and putting them on their sites. MY SERVICES ARE ONLY OFFERED HERE. If you see my profile on another site stating I work for them, they’re scammers.
