Hi, I'm Kat!
I help working moms self-publish their first profitable children's book.
- Katrina Liu (published children's book author and coach)
WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER
I'm here to make publishing your book as efficient and stress-free as possible so you can save your time and energy for the people that matter most.
The key difference.
There are many children's book coaches out there that will try to sell you their services without a track record of being successful authors themselves. If they can't make their own books successful, then how can they help you?
I have sold over 65,000 copies of my books and made over $925,000 in book sales.
My results speak for themselves. I will give you the tools and my proprietary system to launch your book.

Surpassing my kickstarter crowd-funding goals by thousands of dollars!
I was in your shoes and it was overwhelming.
6 years ago, I self-published my first children's book and had no idea what I was doing. Determined to figure it out on my own, I spent countless of hours and made expensive mistakes. In hindsight, I wish I had invested in a coach to guide me through the process. I would have saved myself from many headaches, but mostly I regret the time and energy wasted that I will never get back.
Getting to know Kat
Hi there! 👋 I'm Kat. I live in San Francisco, CA and I'm a full-time working mom with 2 beautiful girls and an active puppy named Musubi. I have an MBA and 16 years of experience working in the silicon valley as a product management leader in the e-commerce and tech industry. At the start of my career, I was a lead web and print designer at a publishing company. I was inspired by my daughters to create books where they can see themselves reflected in them and to amplify Asian American stories. I was able to achieve my results while working a full-time job and you can too. My combined skillset has helped me launch profitable children's books and I would love to pass my experiences and learnings down to you!

Don't publish an amateur book
There are so many self-published authors creating books that look clearly amateur. This gives self-publishing a bad name. Writing a good book is only a tiny fraction of what's needed to be succesful. My goal is to help you create and promote a quality book where no one can tell that it's even self-published. Not only that, but generate a game plan to do it efficiently and cost-effectively so that you don't break the bank. Contact me only if you are serious about self-publishing a profitable children's book.
