🖊️ The Ultimate Children's Book Writing Planner

A clear, supportive companion for writing your children's book

Writing a book isn't about waiting for inspiration. It's about showing up, even on the days you feel unsure, stuck or overwhelmed.

The Ultimate Children's Book Writing Planner is designed to help you do exactly that. It's a children's book writing planner and picture book planner in one, built around the way children's fiction actually works.

With 85 thoughtfully structured, fully hyperlinked pages, this digital planner for iPad and tablets gives you a calm, organised space to turn ideas into chapters, chapters into drafts, and drafts into something real. Whether you're writing your very first children's book or returning to a half-finished manuscript, it meets you where you are and helps you move forward, one page at a time.

Created by an author, for writers who want focus, clarity and progress, without pressure or overwhelm.

🌱 Ideal For Writers Who:

✔ Want to write a picture book, chapter book or middle grade novel
✔ Need to plan spreads, page-turns and word counts
✔ Want a story children will ask for again and again
✔ Are tackling NaNoWriMo and want steady guidance
✔ Want a thoughtful, practical gift for a children's book writer

You don't need to be an expert.
You don't need to write every day.
You just need a plan that works with you.
