Considering booking Harleigh for coaching
To anyone considering booking Harleigh for coaching, I booked an hour and it will not be my last. She is so helpful, knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Her suggestions and experienced advice including tools and avenues to help with your unique publishing journey is worth the cost for sure. Feel free to ask me any questions I am happy to expand.

1:1 coaching
I just wanted to say that I am new to the group and also new to writing children's books. Once I found this group, because I am so new, I immediately jumped on the opportunity to take the 1:1 coaching. I had to make sure I was on the right track in my story. Harleigh was a great help. She listened and advised, answered all of my questions, sent me print outs and guided me in the right direction. I feel much more confident about what Im doing and the path I should follow. Wherever you are in your journey, if you have any doubts I highly recommend doing the coaching with Harleigh
Minutes away! 2026
Thank you to this community for showing up, sharing wins, asking questions, and staying in the work even when it felt heavy. If there’s anything you accomplished this year—big or small—celebrate it. Progress counts, even when it didn’t look perfect. And if there were goals we talked about, dreamed about, or almost started—but didn’t quite buckle down for—this is not the moment for guilt. This is the moment to tighten the shoelaces and move forward. We are learning. We are building. We are trying—really trying—and that matters more than we give ourselves credit for. 2026 is a fresh page. Not because everything magically changes tonight, but because we’ve already proven we’re capable of growth. Together. Here’s to showing up again. Here’s to consistency over perfection. Here’s to courage, community, and continuing the journey. We can do this. Happy New Year, everyone 💫
