Hello! My name is Patrice Coke and I am a published children's book author, former teacher, with a background in editing and marketing.
My background blends teaching with writing expertise with audience-focused promotion.
Because I also have a marketing background, I marketed my own book and increased discoverability through book events, speaking engagements, growing mailing lists by 90%, and boosting launch sales by 95% so books reach readers and generate income.
My approach pairs my teaching and my experience as an author, with simple, actionable systems like the digital products I have recreated removing guesswork and sustaining momentum. I teach clear steps authors can follow confidently to build visibility, strengthen brand, and grow long-term sales.
This six-step, two-page worksheet translates editing theory into actionable prompts, respects illustrator collaboration, eliminates guesswork, and fast-tracks authors to clearer, publishable drafts with measurable results.
