Hi! I’m Melissa Taylor.

I’m an entrepreneur, writer, marketing specialist, speaker, and former educator who founded and scaled a 6-figure business, Imagination Soup.

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. I LOVE inspiring children to write and read.

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