The Children’s Book Creation System

Heart-to-Story guides you through the complete creative journey from discovering the story worth telling to developing your manuscript, preparing your book for production, understanding publication and beginning your life as an author.

Instead of handing you information and leaving you to figure out what to do with it, each stage helps you make real decisions about your book.

By the end, you haven’t simply completed a course.

You have built your book.

You have a story on your heart but don’t know where to start or how to turn it into a real book.

Your course doesn’t end with notes. It builds a Blueprint.

The Heart-to-Story Blueprint is the working companion to the course.

As you progress, you capture the decisions that shape your book its purpose, audience, story, characters, structure, voice, visual direction, production choices, publication plan and more.

Instead of reaching the end wondering what you actually accomplished, you leave with your creative thinking organised into one connected body of work.

REAL BOOK CASE STUDY

See the process through a book that already exists.

Heart-to-Story doesn’t teach storytelling only in theory.

Throughout the course, real creative, writing and publishing experiences are used to demonstrate how creative decisions translate onto the page.

The Magical Shell case study is a running example, allowing learners to see concepts applied to an actual children’s book.
