Find out if your story is ready before a publisher tells you it isn't.
You've finished your children's book. Your friends loved it. Your sister cried. None of that tells you whether an editor would take it.
This course walks you through what publishers actually look for, then hands you a custom-built tool trained on exactly those standards. Upload your manuscript and pitch, and get honest feedback in minutes.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN...
- What a traditional publisher looks for in a children's book manuscript
- How to read feedback on your own story without taking it personally or ignoring it
- Which revisions to make first, and which ones can wait
WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE...
- Video guidance on how the analysis works and how to prepare your manuscript for it
- Your Story-Readiness Report and Rating, a full review of your manuscript and pitch with a publishing-readiness score
- Revision recommendations and an action plan, covering why a publisher might pass, the reasoning behind it, and how to fix it
- Children's book industry guidelines, including category expectations, word counts, and target reader ages
- A list of recommended comp books, so you can see how your idea compares to what's selling now
- Lifetime access, so you can resubmit after every revision as many times as you want
How it works
- Buy the course and work through the short video guidance
- Upload your manuscript and your pitch to the tool
- Get your report on screen in minutes, plus a copy by email
Who's this for?
This is for you if you have a finished draft and you want to know where it really stands before you send it to agents and publishers. It works for any kind of children's book.
It's especially useful if the only feedback you've had is from family and friends, or if you've already been sending it out and getting form rejections with no explanation.
The tool reviews your story against publishing standards. It is not a human editor, and it doesn't rewrite your story for you. If you want a person to read your manuscript in depth, a written critique is the right next step instead.
