You're in the right place if...

  • You have a story bubbling up that needs to get out into the world

  • You know you want to publish, you just don't know what to do next
  • You're craving something that's just for you — a creative spark you're ready to reclaim
  • You're done circling and ready to actually do this
  • You’ve been Googling “how do I publish my children’s book” and getting nowhere

Hi, I’m Alina — a picture book author, illustrator, and creative coach for big-hearted storytellers like you.

With three books published and 15+ years in adult education, I don’t just know the publishing path — I know how to teach it. My programs are built to make you feel clear, capable, and confident every step of the way.

I've taken the winding road from idea to published author, and I know that you can publish your book too. 

If you’ve got a story to tell, I’m here to help you tell it well, and get it into kids’ hands where it belongs.

"We were stuck in analysis paralysis — overwhelmed by the process — until we found you."

Andy Schoonhoven

"In publishing, there are potholes everywhere. Anytime I got stuck—whether it was social media strategy or printing options—I turned to you. I don’t know how I would’ve done it without you."
EMILY ROMRELL
Author of Listen, Run, Hide
