Frequently Asked Questions:
I'm busy! How much time will this take?
The course is self-paced. There are five modules to work through and you can expect the content to take about 30 min - 1 hour to get through each week in addition to working on your manuscript(s). I know life is busy, that’s why this Masterclass is built to flex around your schedule: work at your own pace with lifetime access to the lessons.
How long do I have access to the course?
Lifetime access! Once you purchase, you can go back and watch it as much as you'd like for the lifetime of the course. You'll also get access to any future new content for free, if it's added.
Will you offer feedback on my manuscript / story ideas during the course?
While I would love to, I'm just not able to do this due to time constraints. If you'd like me to offer a personalized review of a manuscript or other feedback, your best bet is to book a 1:1 coaching call with me.
What if I purchase The KidLit Lab's course and realize it's not for me?
No problem! I'm offering a a 7-day money back guarantee! I want you to be 100% confident when you invest in The KidLit Lab. If you enroll and realize it's not for you, I'll refund it.
Do I need to buy anything extra once I purchase?
Nope! It's all included.
Do I have to be a Christian to take this?
Nope! You can think of this a bit like “faith-based." While I think what sets this course apart is the fact that we're coming at the topic from a Christian angle, it's not heavy-handed and anyone can learn from it.
I already have a children's book — is this still for me?
Absolutely. Many of my students come in with a draft already written or even a book published. Inside the Masterclass you’ll learn how to take that draft apart, see it through an editor’s eyes, and revise it so it truly shines. You’ll get live feedback, proven revision techniques, and guest insight from editors, illustrators, and published authors. By the end, your story won’t just be “written”—it will be polished and publishing-ready.
What if I don’t have any ideas yet?
That’s okay! You don’t need a concept to join. In the first part of the Masterclass we’ll explore the KidLit market, brainstorm together, and narrow in on an idea with real potential. By the end of the module you’ll have a concept you’re excited to develop — and by the end of the program, a polished draft you’re proud to share.
I just want to self-publish—is this still for me?
Yes! Whether you plan to self-publish, go traditional, or do a mix, the fundamentals of writing and revising a strong picture book are the same. The Masterclass walks you through shaping and polishing a manuscript that children (and parents) actually want to read, then gives you a roadmap for next steps — including guidance on the self-publishing route so you know what to expect and how to launch with confidence.
Is this for children's fiction or nonfiction?
Both! There will be all sorts of information and tips for anyone who wants to write for children, no matter their genre.
