from one teacher-author to another
Buy, sell and run your teacher-author business with someone who’s done it.
I help teacher-authors figure out what their store is worth, find the right buyer or seller, and build a business that reaches past one marketplace. Practical advice, real numbers, and free tools so you can make your next move with confidence.
Where are you right now?
I’m thinking about selling
You’ve built something real and you’re ready for what’s next. Find out what it’s worth, get it ready for a buyer, and hand it over well.
I want to buy a store
Skip years of building from zero. I’ll help you find a store that fits, check the numbers, and plan the first 90 days after the hand-over.
I want to grow my business
Your store works, but you’re ready to build beyond one marketplace: your own site, an email list, memberships, and a business that doesn’t rely on one algorithm.
Free tools for teacher-authors
Start here. No email required for the calculator or the SWOT worksheet.
Store value calculator
Get a ballpark range for what your store could sell for, and see what’s pushing the number up or down.
SWOT analysis worksheet
Take an honest look at your strengths, gaps, opportunities and risks before you buy, sell or pivot.
Training videos
Recordings of my business presentations for teacher-authors: pricing, growth, systems and more.
Hi, I’m Patti.
I taught in the classroom for 20 years before my teacher-author side hustle turned into Madly Learning, a Canadian curriculum company serving Grades 3–6 teachers. Along the way I learned, mostly the hard way, how to price, systematize and grow a resource business, and how to take it beyond a single marketplace.
This site is where I share all of it: the tools, the numbers, and the honest story of going from teacher to entrepreneur.
Not sure where to start?
Send me a DM and tell me where your store is at. If it makes sense to work together, you can book a paid session and I’ll put real eyes on your business.
