About me

With over two decades of experience as a content head and executive producer in television across the Southeast Asian region, I have crafted more than 12,000 hours of programming content. In 2023, I embarked on a new journey as a children's book author, specializing in Christian content for kids. While my focus is on Christian themes, I also enjoy working on stories with positive and uplifting messages.

My children's books have garnered awards, heartfelt reviews, and recognition. As a proud member of SCBWI, the largest society of children’s book authors worldwide, I am deeply engaged in the literary community. Additionally, I am the founder of Kirthana J. Fanning LLC, a publishing company dedicated to children's Christian content. Whether you're looking to publish with us or join our family, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm eager to connect and discuss how we can collaborate.

The listed prices apply to a single story. For two children's picture books falling under the word limit, the cost would be at a discounted price.

If you have multiple stories, please reach out to me for pricing, as I can offer a discount for bulk submissions.

If you need additional rounds after the first, the cost is $30 per round, if the story is 500 words or less. I do limit each MS to three rounds, unless you do an extensive, substantially different rewrite after the three rounds.
