Coloring Page Maker: Let families take your story home.
Standing behind a table of books while families drift past can feel lonely. Hand a child a coloring page from your story and that changes. The child settles in, a parent has a reason to stay and talk, and a scene from your book goes home on the refrigerator.
Included with membership at $10/month or more.

Give Readers Something to Take Home
Coloring pages for school visits, event tables, and reader magnets.
You are doing a school visit, a library event, or a convention table. Kids come by, look at your covers, and move on. Their parents are the ones with the wallet, and nothing on your table gives either of them a reason to linger.
Put something on your convention table that stops families walking past
A coloring page changes that. It costs very little to print, a child will sit down with it, and it can end up on a refrigerator with your story on it. Parents notice what occupies a child for a while. A coloring page does that. A bookmark does not.
Fill a school visit or library event with an activity instead of a reading alone
Hand each child a page from the book you just read and watch the room settle into quiet, happy work. Teachers get a classroom handout tied to your book, ready to copy for the class. To plan the rest of the visit, use Classroom Activity Planner.
Add a bonus to your reader magnet that parents value
Give new subscribers a page to print, or offer one as a preorder bonus. A preorder bonus is a file, so there is nothing to ship. Give your newsletter a piece of art rather than another update. A set of pages makes a stronger gift than a single page.
Reach adult colorers with detailed scenes from your world
Adult coloring is its own market, and your fantasy and historical fans get a page worth settling in with. They can color a moment from your series, and you have something special to hand out at a convention.
Post free printables on your website
Your website can keep welcoming families long after the event is over. Parents, teachers, and librarians find a page and print it themselves. It is art you can print, post, or bundle without hunting for an illustrator, and one page can serve a school visit in March and a convention in October.
Make an activity sheet for a launch party or a book club night
A page and a box of crayons give guests something to do while the conversation starts. For a whole themed party for young readers, use Birthday Party Planner.
Whatever you have today
Start from a scene in your head or paintings you love.
You do not need a new art budget to hand families something that looks like your book.
You have a story and no pictures yet
You describe the moment you can already see, and it becomes a page. You need no illustrations to begin.
You have finished paintings in a folder
Your own painting or sketch becomes a page families can color, so finished art becomes a printable without commissioning anything new. Your art stays the star.
One scene, every age
A page that feels made for whoever holds the crayon.
Picture the girl and her dog from your picture book, sailing a paper boat down a rain-filled gutter. You hand the page to a four-year-old and to a grown-up fan, and both settle in with something that feels made for them.
Bring a scene or an illustration and get a page ready to print.
You bring
Your genre and a short description of the scene, your own illustration as a PNG, JPG, or WebP, or both, plus who the page is for, from toddlers to adults. Your manuscript is not needed.
Your work stays private. Author Media does not store, track, or view what you post. The AI services use business APIs with privacy set to the maximum.
You get
A black-and-white coloring page with clean outlines you can color inside, ready to print.
If the first page is not right, tell it what to change in the chat and you get a fresh one. One request makes one page, so a coloring book is a set of pages you gather yourself. Pages come without lettering, so add your title and web address in Canva or Word before you print. Characters can look different from one page to the next. The image maker sometimes refuses scenes with weapons, injuries, real people, or brand names.
Questions about coloring pages for your book
What is Coloring Page Maker?
Coloring Page Maker is an AI tool for authors who want a printable coloring page from a scene in their book to hand a child at a table, a visit, or a party. It makes one page per request and does not plan events or write lessons, which Classroom Activity Planner and Lesson Planner can help with.
Who is Coloring Page Maker for?
It is for authors who want to hand families something more than a bookmark. That includes authors of picture books, chapter books, and middle grade who visit schools and sell at events, and fiction and nonfiction authors whose books have scenes or subjects to draw. Fantasy and historical authors can win over adult fans too. If a publisher owns your book's illustrations, ask before you turn them into line art, because the rights may not be yours. You can still describe your own scenes and make new pages from them.
Can I use my own illustrations?
Yes, and your finished art no longer has to sit in a folder. Your own painting or sketch can become a page families color, and you can say what to leave out or change. Use a PNG, JPG, or WebP, and save a TIFF or an iPhone HEIC photo as a PNG or JPG first, because those formats are not accepted.
Do I need illustrations to make a coloring page?
No, and that is a relief if your book has no pictures yet. Describe the scene in your own words and you get a page. Your own illustration is a bonus, never a requirement.
Can I make a whole coloring book?
Yes, one page at a time, and a set of pages makes a stronger giveaway than a single page. Each request makes one page, so you gather the pages into a PDF yourself. A free design tool such as Canva can import the pages, add your title, and export one file.
Will my characters look the same on every page?
Not always, and it helps to know before you print a set. A character can look a little different from one page to the next, so look over every page before you print a set.
Is this only for children's books?
No. Adult coloring is its own market, and your fantasy and historical fans can have pages that feel made for them.
Can I put my book title and website on the page?
Not through the tool, and the fix is quick. Pages come without lettering, so add your title, your web address, or a QR code from QR Code Generator in Canva, Word, or any design program before you print. Then every copy leads readers back to you.
Can I sell the pages?
Yes. Give the pages away, bundle them into a printable set, or sell them. Follow the rules of any platform you sell on, such as a store's disclosure of AI-made images.
What if the first drawing is not right?
That is fine, because you are never stuck with the first try. Tell it what to change in the chat box under the drawing and you get a fresh page. Each new try draws from your credits.
Why was my scene refused?
That is frustrating, and it is usually fixable. A scene with a weapon, an injury, a real person, or a brand can be refused. Change that one thing in the chat and try again, and you are back to a page you can print.
Is my work private?
Yes. Author Media does not store, track, or view anything you post to this tool. The tools reach each AI through its business API with privacy set to the maximum, so the AI companies do not train on your words.
How much does it cost?
Coloring Page Maker is included with any Novel Marketing Patreon membership of $10 per month or more. That membership also unlocks more than 80 other author tools in the Patron Toolbox. Each drawing and each revision draws from your membership's credit balance, and the amount used varies with the request.
