“Even as an experienced author, I learned so much from Melissa’s expertise. She worked with me to create at least 12 new and inspiring classroom presentations. Likewise she reached out to a variety of book reviewers to promote my latest picture book. I can’t say enough about Imagination Soup Consulting.”

“You can’t find these ideas on a website or in a book about school visits. Believe me… I’ve bought the books and have visited dozens of schools. I’ve already changed my presentation to be more interactive.”

Melissa Trempe
Picture Book Author

“Melissa has been the most insightful and encouraging advocate for my books. She coached me on everything from how to engage schools for author visits, how to translate the themes in my stories to fun activities, and even how to better read and perform at events! Not only did she help me get the word out about my picture books, she also helped me contend with my fear of being seen in the most gentle and supportive way possible. I couldn’t have accomplished everything I did without her sense and smarts. I’m forever grateful!!!”
