Your Stories, Our Reach — Connecting Independent Creators to Global Readers

 

You’ve poured your heart into your book. But without visibility, even the most inspiring story can go unnoticed. That’s where Children’s Literature comes in.

 

For over 30 years, educators, librarians, and parents have trusted us to guide their reading choices. Now, through our Indie Author & Illustrator Program, we’re opening that same powerful network to independent creators — helping you reach the decision-makers who actually buy, recommend, and circulate books.

 

What You Get

 

1. Professional Reviews That Build Credibility

Your book will be professionally reviewed by our experienced team — the same reviewers trusted by schools, libraries, and major publishers. A Children’s Literature review doesn’t just describe your book; it validates your work and opens doors to institutions that rarely consider self-published titles.

 

2. Listing in the CLCD Database

Gain entry into the Children’s Literature Comprehensive Database (CLCD) — the world’s most extensive resource for PreK–12 literature, used by universities, public libraries, and school districts nationwide. Your title becomes instantly searchable to the people who select and purchase books in bulk.

 

3. Visibility That Drives Discovery

Every approved title is featured on ChildrensLit.com, shared through our social media channels, and showcased in newsletters — maximizing your reach where it counts most.

 

 (Coming Soon) Go Beyond Reviews — Earn Revenue Through MoBoo

Once reviewed, your book can also be featured on MoBoo, our global reading platform connecting young readers in 194 countries.

 

Through MoBoo, you can:

  • Access to Sell directly to readers worldwide
  • Lease titles short-term to parents that cannot afford full price. Increase total revenues to you

 

The same monetization tools used by major publishers are now available to you — helping you turn visibility into real revenue. 

 

Why You Can’t Wait

300,000 new indie books launch every year — but only a few earn lasting recognition. Without professional validation and educational access, your title risks being lost in the noise. Children’s Literature helps ensure your work stands out, reaches the right audience, and gets the recognition it deserves.

 

Don’t let your story be one that never finds its readers.

 

Build Your Brand. Expand Your Audience. Inspire the World.

 

Every great story deserves to be discovered — and yours could be next.
