The original title for the first book in this series was The Basics of the Child-Care Business, with each subsequent book having a completely different title. To me, that wasn’t very exciting or enticing, and I knew there was an opportunity to make it more than just another average book series.

​

After researching what the author intended for the rest of the series, I noticed a common thread. Each book focused on a different aspect of running a child-care business, such as funding, marketing, and more. I kept coming back to “The Basics” in the original title and had the idea to make that the foundation of the entire series, with each book’s specific topic serving as the differentiating factor. That led to the series title structure: The Basics of [Theme] a Child-Care Business.

​

I presented the idea to my editor, president, and marketing team, and it was an instant success. The author even thought the idea of structuring her book series this way was “genius.” (Cough.)
