I came to Gatekeeper with a story and they matched me with an amazing illustrator. I was absolutely astounded by the quality of her work and collaboration between the two of us.

No matter how good the story, children’s books are nothing without great illustrations and Gatekeeper absolutely delivered. Such a gift to me and Milo does not like Mornings!

Milo does not like Mornings!

“I wrote my first children’s book, Wild or Tame, I Love You the Same, with Gatekeeper Press. The illustrations were fantastic (thank you, Olena), and she responded to requests and changes quickly to avoid delays. I appreciated having a dedicated author manager (thank you, Trinity) as a point of contact for questions and guidance. Highly recommended for authors considering self-publishing.”

This Little Light Of Mine

“I just published my children’s book, This Little Light of Mine, with Gatekeeper Press. Many aspects exceeded my expectations, especially working with the illustrator, Olena. Our work was recognized quickly, leading to my book being showcased at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. I truly appreciate the entire team for their professionalism and support.”
