Hi! I’m Melissa Taylor.

As an entrepreneurial writer, I’ve learned all about marketing with my own business, Imagination Soup, and getting freelance writing work.

As a children’s book reviewer for 15+ years, I’ve seen what works and doesn’t work in children’s book writing and book marketing. I get hundreds of books and pitches every month.

As an award-winning classroom teacher and teacher trainer, I know best practices in instruction and literacy.

My experiences give me a depth and breadth of knowledge in many areas, including
– writing (content, fiction, and nonfiction)
– marketing & publicity
– organizational systems
– school visit success
– presentation mastery
– social media
– website creation
– newsletters and email lists
– sales, products, & shopping carts
– networking
