Here at Chicken Scratch Books we are different. So we looked at each element of children’s book publishing, and brainstormed ways to do it differently.

As teachers, we wanted a strong focus on learning – at both ends of the publishing process. So at one end, we help writers improve their craft with online courses and personalized feedback.  At the other end, we help readers analyze each story deeper with free post-purchase materials, as well as video-based in-depth online author-included study courses.

As writers, we wanted to publish the best literature possible. So we’ve streamlined submissions, and have built-in vision collaboration within our editing process. We work with our authors on their own marketing ideas, in addition to our extensive, marketing plan for each book.  We help authors create bonus materials for their novels, and produce online courses to share their books with students everywhere. By publishing with us, authors receive royalties of up to 40% of net proceeds on every sale. We expect a lot, but we give even more. By creating a completely different experience for writers, we bring out the best in their work.

As entrepreneurs, we wanted to publish and market our books in a whole new way. Modern printing capabilities, and focused, continuous timelines bring our publishing process to the front.  We constantly build partnerships with the exact people and groups who will love our books and the extras that go with them. Our use of technology and online marketing power is refreshing in the children’s book world.

As parents, we recognize the power of gatekeepers. So we’ve created a brand that is known for being different, for producing quality, and for promoting good literature. That’s our only agenda.
