So what is Bedtime Stories for Busy Parents anyway?
Bedtime can be hard.
Getting kids to sleep can be a chore…pajamas, brushing teeth, getting them to settle down after a long, busy day. And then there’s the argument about what to read. Or you forgot to go to the library for something new.
But no more!
Let me make bedtimes easier.
Each day you will have an original, engaging story waiting for you. Just plop those kids in bed and pull out your phone. You can even have Substack read the story aloud for you!
Your kids will eagerly jump into bed to hear the next story, from Max the Inventor, to Klara the Clever, each story has interesting characters, beautiful details and even a life lesson thrown in here and there.

Who’s Dori?
Hey there!
I’m Dori Walker, a parent of two kids and professional fiction writer living on the Central Coast in California.
I studied creative writing in college and have worked much of my life crafting stories.
But most importantly I’m a parent like you! (Plus I have 17 nieces and nephews!) I learned first hand about the kids of stories that get kids to sleep fast.
