CBI is a writer’s lifeline!

Over the years, membership has grown steadily – but you, Jon and Laura, perform the near-impossible feat of making each member feel s/he’s a personal friend, that you have all the time in the world to answer their questions, and warm praise when our efforts meet with success. CBI, quite apart from the invaluable information and up-to-the-minute technology it offers, cuts through ‘the loneliness of the long-haul writer’; you feel very much part of it all, with an immediacy which is wonderful, especially for those of us who have no access to a local group. Maybe that sums it up best – the constant encouragement to keep at it, and never give up striving for publication.

Whether or not you choose to join the CBI family, we have something very special we'd like to share with you:    

You Can Do This.

You may feel as if you're not experienced enough, not educated enough, not skilled enough to write children's books.  You may feel as if you don't have the time to embark on a new journey.   You may feel that no one will ever want to read what you write.   You may even feel a little scared at the prospect of simply giving it a shot. But here's the thing:  Pretty much every successful author we know felt exactly that way when they started out.  And you know why they succeeded? Because they went for it anyway. And so should you. 

This is your dream.  And you have every right to see it through, and to write your own happy ending.  And it would be a pleasure and an honor for us to help make that happen. Just remember something — all of those books on your local library shelf weren't written by machines or by super-human literary geniuses.  They were written by regular people, who worked hard and found someone along the way to point them in the right direction. If you're ready to do the work and give it your all, we're more than ready to be your guide.    

Come along for the journey.  You've got a book to write!

PLUS ALL 3 LIMITED TIME BONUSES!

If you enjoy your membership, do nothing and, for only $5.49 each month, you'll be a Fightin' Bookworm in good standing. If we're not right for you, just cancel at any time!

The services CBI provides are awesome. I do not know of any organization like CBI that provides: writing guidelines like the 1-2-3 system; expert guides to eBooks and application publishing; providing expert writers who are willing to help with the writing and publishing; and then, there is CBI, the best bulletin I have the privilege to subscribe to. There are no words to express how fortunate I am to be a Fightin' Bookworm. I know I absorb every single bit of information that you provide. I am blessed to have learned (and still learning) the ins and outs of writing, editing, revising, critiquing, and publishing. The world is a better place to write and be published because there is Jon and there is Laura, two genuine people who are generous in providing guidelines to writers, even newbies like me!
