Led by bestselling, award-winning author Laura Wifler, if you want to write books for kids and are looking for community, you've come to the right place.

I'm Laura, your new KidLit Coach.

I'm a bestselling, award-winning children's book author, and I love KidLit. I've been writing stories ever since I can remember and childhood-me would be giddy knowing I grew up to be a children's book author. Today, I'm a mom to three (My own personal book reviewers!) and I have the privilege of helping aspiring and future authors like you with their children's books. It's my goal to see more high-quality literature for kids hit the shelves—together, we can make books kids will want to read again. What do you say?
