Sadie, the Story Lady is a permission-based read-aloud YouTube channel where childrenโs picture books are shared with warmth and care. Iโm a one-woman creator who loves helping families, caregivers, and classrooms discover great storiesโespecially from indie and small-press authors.
If your book feels like a good fit, hereโs what to know.
๐ What Iโm Looking For
- Childrenโs picture books (generally ages 3โ8)
- Family-friendly, classroom-safe stories
- Books that work well as read-alouds
- Indie authors, illustrators, and small presses welcome
๐ Preferred Formats
To keep things manageable, I only accept books in the one of the following formats:
- ๐ Kindle Unlimited (free to read)
- ๐ PDF link (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.)
- ๐ฌ Email (sadiethestorylady@gmail.com)
๐ฅ What a Feature Looks Like
If selected, your book is shared as:
- A puppet-led read-aloud video on YouTube
- Posts, reels, pins on social media
- A simple blog post on my website
Videos are thoughtfully created but not highly produced.
๐งก Please Note
- Not all submissions can be selected
- Submission does not guarantee a feature
- I may not be able to respond to every request
Thank you for creating stories for kids!
