Under the pen name Simone Cannon, I independently developed and launched three original children’s book series: Fairyville Adventures, Magic Act, and Frankenstein Kids. Across these titles, I wrote and produced a total of 13 books, each designed to spark imagination, build empathy, and entertain young readers through diverse, character-driven storytelling.
- 📚 Fairyville Adventures (6 books): Introduces Tasha and Cleona, a fairy who emerges from a television to grant a life-changing wish
- 🐶 Magic Act: Follows Anthony and his witty, talking dog Cougar on playful, enchanted adventures
- 👾 Frankenstein Kids: Features Deshawn, Marty, and Saturnado—a space alien crash-landing into a yard of wildly intelligent misfits
To bring these projects to life, I managed every phase of production:
- ✍️ Original Writing: Developed series concepts, dialogue, and narrative arcs
- 🎨 Creative Direction: Commissioned illustrations through vetted Fiverr artists
- 🛠️ Editing & Layout: Collaborated with freelance editors and layout designers via Fiverr and Elance (now Upwork)
- 📦 Self-Publishing Operations: Oversaw digital formatting, quality control, and publication workflow
Each book reflects my ability to blend content creation with strategic outsourcing, ensuring professional-quality results while maintaining creative control. The project also reinforced my strengths in brand voice development, vendor management, and visual storytelling for young audiences.
