Let your child’s imagination come to life these holidays by writing and illustrating their very own book!

In this fun and supportive 3-day online program, young authors aged 6–16 will plan, write, and begin to format their very own storybook. Whether they love to write or just have a great imagination, we’ll guide them step-by-step in turning their ideas into something they can be proud of.

By the end of the program, they’ll have the foundations of their own book ready to publish, print, or proudly share with family and friends!

  • 3 x 90-minute live Zoom sessions
  • Story planning and creative prompts
  • Optional illustration and formatting help using Canva, Procreate or paper drawing
  • Guided support for kids of all abilities and writing levels
  • Optional walkthrough for parents on how to self-publish


What They’ll Need:

  • A computer or tablet with camera/mic + internet
  • A parent/guardian present (for tech help and consent)
  • Paper/pencils for drawing OR a digital tool like Google Docs, Word, Procreate, or Canva

Who is this for?

This program is perfect for kids aged 6–16 who love storytelling, want to create their own book, or simply want to try something creative and confidence-building over the holidays. No writing experience needed!


Cost: Pay What You Can

We believe every child deserves to be creative, regardless of budget. Choose the amount that works for your family:

  • $5 (Pay what you can)
  • $15 (Standard contribution)
  • $30 (Pay-it-forward rate)
    All tickets include the same access. Pay-it-forward is a community-supported pricing option that helps cover the gap from lower-cost bookings, keeping the program running and accessible for families who need financial flexibility.


Led by Crystal Hardstaff – author, teacher, counsellor, and co-founder of Creative Kid Authors alongside her own mini author, Zoe. We help children bring their stories to life in a safe, ethical and joyful way.


Spots are limited to keep it small and supportive—book early! If popularity grows we will offer different age groups in future.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to buy one ticket per child?

Because this holiday program is limited to how many children we can help during one session, we do ask you to please purchase individual tickets per child so we have an accurate number of attendees.

Will this be recorded if I am unable to attend?

We do not record sessions, and no replays are available. This decision reflects our ethical and legal responsibility to protect the privacy and safety of minors participating in our program.

Refund and Cancellation Policy

We do not offer refunds for sessions once booking and payment have been made. This is due to the significant preparation, planning, and limited capacity of our program spaces. We do offer transfers to a future group within 12 months.

How do we publish the book once finished?

Because every child may work at different paces, your child's book may not be ready to publish by the end of the holiday program. Guidance for finished edits and the process to self-publish will be offered separately and 1:1 with parents/guardians. Please contact us to book an individual session.

Organized by

At Creative Kid Authors, we believe every kid has a story worth telling. We’re here to inspire young storytellers, spread kindness, and encourage creativity, determination, and imagination. Whether you want to write about magical adventures, funny characters, or important messages, we’ll guide you from your first idea to publishing your very own book.
