The Coaching KidLit podcast will explore aspects of children’s book writing and offer coaching tools for leveling up your KidLit writing game.
We will also feature interviews with KidLit authors and coaches and dive into their creative processes.
And, of course, we will provide children’s book recommendations, and listing our recent favorites, which may or may not lead to a full-on debate/discussion about the KidLit books we love and why we love them.
Give us a listen and let us know what you like, or don’t like, and send us your topic and KidLit book recommendations.
