I'm Dr. Tiffani Teachey, founder of Inspired Authors Publishing. As a mechanical engineer, I did a school visit to share how fun engineering can be — and when I asked the kids how many had ever met an engineer, barely any hands went up. Once I shared the fun of engineering and the hands-on activities that come with it, they had met one: me. That moment showed me how much representation matters in STEM, and how much children need to see the careers that are actually out there.
That's what led me to write What Can I Be? STEM Careers from A to Z, my first children's book, built around the diverse STEM Crew Kids characters — and it's what led me to build Inspired Authors Publishing. I help accomplished professionals do exactly what I did: take a career they've worked hard to build and turn it into a children's book that introduces kids to a world of possibility.
What I love most is watching my clients walk away with more than a book — they walk away with a legacy. A published book that puts their career and their story directly in front of children, so kids can see themselves in it too.
Happy Publishing,
Dr. Tiffani Teachey
Your book shouldn't scream self-published. We deliver professional, bookstore-quality books that hold their own next to any traditionally published title.

"From reaching out in June to holding my printed, published book by November — it was absolutely amazing. Clear communication through every stage, from manuscript to editing to illustrations. She even walked me through getting my Library of Congress number and ISBN, and showed me how to upload my own book so I'd know how to do it myself next time."
Dr. DeShonda Jennings
"Tiffani served as my trusted book consultant and guided me through every step of the self-publishing process with incredible care and expertise. She helped me secure and register my book with the Library of Congress, obtained my ISBN number, and coordinated both editing and professional formatting. No matter how many revisions I had, she was consistently patient. She went above and beyond — researching keywords to help boost my book's visibility and advising me on how to strategically position it. She's amazing at what she does and a genuinely supportive, knowledgeable partner."
Rhoda Banks
"Yay Tiffani! She helped me publish my first children's book. Amazing experience!"
Rita Bryant
"It was a great experience! I'm actually thinking about publishing another book, more of a follow up to my first."
