Hi, I’m Heather Hartt-Sussman,

 

And I understand your struggle!

I had a hard time breaking into the exclusive club that is the picture book publishing industry. I didn't think I was connected or good enough to compete. I got my share of rejections and almost gave up

Finally, I figured out what publishers wanted, and now I will share with you what it takes to publish your picture book.

"I had my idea for a children's book since my girls were little, and now they are done with college! I never wrote it because I didn't know the proper formula and strategy to write it… so it collected dust until Heather's expertise popped into my life!

Heather helped me with her course with a straightforward step-by-step approach to take the overwhelm out of getting the idea out from the head and onto the paper.

My book is done now. Once I had proper guidance, writing my book was easier than I had imagined. Finally, I was able to come out with a professional final draft to submit to publishers!"

"Working with Heather has been an absolute delight. Her program was really great in swiftly getting our first draft developed.

Her expertise and professionalism really showed throughout the entire process and I would most definitely recommend her services to anybody conceptualizing their own book."
