Hello, I'm April
My name is April Cox and I’m a best-selling, award-winning author and founder of Little Labradoodle Publishing. I was once exactly where you are - confused and overwhelmed about the self-publishing process.
I made a lot of costly mistakes, but was determined to make my dream come true, so I forged a path to success. By combining my 35 years of technology and project management expertise and what I learned on my self-publishing journey, I created my trademark program: Self-Publishing Made Simple (tm).
Over the years, I am proud to say that my team has helped over 1,500 authors, turning struggles into triumphs. I've watched them celebrate the joy and accomplishment of bringing their stories to life, and I can help you, too.
​
2025 brings a new venture - a new publishing imprint Legacy & Light Publishing - focused on stories focused on family values, legacy, and resilience targeted towards women and chiildren.
