At Childcare Conversations, we believe that the people shaping the future of childcare and early education have stories that deserve to be told — and shared widely.

The AUTHORity Project was created by Kate and Carrie to help childcare professionals, directors, and thought leaders turn their knowledge into books that build credibility, expand influence, and open new opportunities.

Publishing is done officially through our partner, CEY Press, while Childcare Conversations serves as your creative and coaching team — guiding you from your first idea to your published book and beyond.

Why Work With Us

Because we’ve walked this path — and helped hundreds of others do the same.

• Kate published her first client’s book in 1993 and her own in 1994, long before self-publishing became mainstream. By 2000, she was a partner in a publishing company, helping professionals bring their expertise to print.

• Carrie grew up in the printing and publishing industry, learning early what it takes to produce high-quality, professional books.

• Together, they’ve written and published more than 27 books personally and have guided numerous clients to become Amazon best-selling authors.

This is not a one-size-fits-all service — it’s a partnership. We take on a limited number of authors each year so that every story receives the time, care, and personal attention it deserves.

Our Hybrid Publishing Model

We combine the best of both worlds:

• The ownership and creative freedom of self-publishing

• The professional quality and credibility of traditional publishing

• The personalized coaching and accountability that make finishing your book possible

You keep your rights and royalties — we provide the structure, creative support, and professional polish that make your book launch-ready.
