Submissions are currently closed. Thank you so much for your interest in sharing your book. My schedule is fully booked through 2026, and I’m unable to take on additional projects at this time.
Sadie, the Story Lady is a permission-based read-aloud YouTube channel where children’s picture books are shared with warmth and care. I’m a one-woman creator who loves helping families, caregivers, and classrooms discover great stories—especially from indie and small-press authors.
If your book feels like a good fit, here’s what to know.
📚 What I’m Looking For
- Children’s picture books (generally ages 3–8)
- Family-friendly, classroom-safe stories
- Books that work well as read-alouds
- Indie authors, illustrators, and small presses welcome
📄 Preferred Formats
To keep things manageable, I only accept books in the one of the following formats:
- 📘 Kindle Unlimited (free to read)
- 📄 PDF link (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.)
- 📬 Email (sadiethestorylady@gmail.com)
🎥 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.
🧡 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!
