Start with a simple step-by-step guide that walks you through the process of writing your children’s book.

You have wanted to write a children’s book for ages. Maybe you want to write a book for your kids. Maybe you’ve walked around with a story idea since YOU were a kid.

“I just wish there was a simple instruction manual to help get me started!”

Children's Book Roadmap

Hi, I’m Carol Kim, and I want to help you realize your dream of writing a children’s book.

It took me years to finally figure out how to get started so I could actually begin writing my books!

It shouldn’t be that hard.

Now that I’m a traditionally published children’s author, I’ve learned a lot about the process of getting a story from idea to published book. 

It is such a great feeling when you actually finish writing a manuscript! I remember the emotions of joy, relief, and accomplishment that went with it. 

I want to help you experience those feelings too!

King Sejong Invents an Alphabet

In 15th-century Korea, King Sejong was distressed. The complicated Chinese characters used for reading and writing meant only rich, educated people could read–and that was just the way they wanted it. But King Sejong thought all Koreans should be able to read and write, so he worked in secret for years to create a new Korean alphabet. King Sejong’s strong leadership and determination to bring equality to his country make his 600-year-old story as relevant as ever.
