#17 BOOKS: Book in the Making | Inside My Upcoming Cheerleading Kids’ Book Graphic Novel Series

In this episode, I’m giving you an early peek at how this series is coming together—from character development and world-building to the themes, lessons, and tiny details I’ve tucked in for young readers. You’ll meet the early versions of the characters, hear what inspired them, and see how I’m shaping this series to support confidence, resilience, and all those big life skills cheer brings.

This is the kind of episode where I open the door to my writing desk (yes, the messy one), share my process, and chat through how I turn real cheer moments into story magic. If you’re a parent, a coach, a young reader, or just someone curious about how cheerbooks get made—you’re in the right place.

✨ In this episode:

• How the new cheerleading graphic novel series started
• What kids can expect from the stories
• The design style and series themes
• Character inspirations and early sketches
• Why representation in cheer stories matters
• How these books tie into building confidence for young athletes

And you can always come say hi on socials @thecheerleaderbookclub—I love hearing what you and your cheer kiddos want to see next.

Welcome to Cheer Chapters—where cheerleading led me to author life.

I’m Allison: two decades on the mats, delivering real stories, coaching tools & zero fluff. From sweat and stunts to late-night choreography and the unplanned self-publishing path—this channel is for parents cheering, coaches grinding, and program owners building something authentic.

I’m a mum with dyslexia, ADHD, and enough side quests in my videos to keep things interesting—expect detours, laughs, real struggles & growth.

If you want straight-talk on coaching cheer, how to support young athletes, how to run a gym without losing your mind (trust me—I learned the hard way), or hear what inspired me to write a book—you’ll feel right at home here. I dive into the messy behind-the-scenes, the wins & fails, interviews, and sneak-peeks into my writing—all with humour, honesty, and heart.
