The Good Idea Test | Is Your Children's Book Idea Worth Writing?

Find out if your idea is worth writing before you write it.

Every writer thinks their idea is special. Some are. But you can spend 6 months on a draft and only then find out that 3 versions of it came out last year.

It's much easier to spend one afternoon validating an idea than months writing one you'll abandon. That's what this is.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN...

1. How to research what's already been published around your idea, and exactly where to look
2. The 2 reasons to pivot, and the signs an idea isn't marketable yet
3. How to read what you find, and reshape a close-but-not-yet idea into a strong one
4. How to write your Quick Pitch, one line you can hand a critique partner or a publisher

1. The market research walkthrough for finding recently published books around your idea
2. The 2 reasons to pivot, and how to spot them early

Who's this course for?

This is for you if you have one idea you're unsure about, or a notebook full of them and no clue which to start with. It works whether this is your first book or your sixth.

It tells you where your idea stands and whether it needs a fresh angle. It won't write the idea for you, and it won't fix it for you. That part is still yours.
