Hello! My name is Patrice Coke and I am a published children's book author, former elementary teacher, with a background in editing and marketing.
Every classroom resource I create for teachers extends from my own experiences as an elementary school teacher.
My background blends teaching with writing expertise with audience-focused promotion.
Because I also have a marketing background, I marketed my own book and increased discoverability through book events, speaking engagements, growing mailing lists by 90%, and boosting launch sales by 95% so books reach readers and generate income.
I pair my teaching and my experience as an author, with simple, actionable systems like the digital products I have created removing guesswork and sustaining momentum. I teach clear and easy to follow steps to authors, teachers, and students with my digital products.
You can also follow me on my personal website www.booksbypatrice.com, where you can read my weekly blogs, sign up for my monthly newsletter, buy my children's book, "A Birthday Surprise In Triple Oaks Forest," and so much more!
Teachers using my prompts report immediate gains in student engagement and confidence; reluctant writers produce longer, clearer narratives and teachers spend less time creating prompts. Schools have adopted my materials for daily journal routines, with results.
My approach blends developmental writing strategies, simple scaffolds, and creative question prompts to remove guesswork and build independence. The four-page PDF is classroom-tested, easy to implement, and designed to produce consistent, proud student stories.
