“The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers.
But above all, the world needs dreamers who do.“

Meet the Founders
Welcome! We are the cofounders of Kitts Enterprises, LLC. My name is Sara Kitts. This is my mom and partner Eleanor Housworth. We founded Kitts Enterprises with two goals. The first goal was to self publish our own children’s books. Their second goal is to provide services to other self published authors. Our services focus on various parts of the self published book process. We also offer customized Featured Author Pages and marketing materials based on your book.

Our Beginning
In 2020, the COVID pandemic and shutdown changed many aspects of life and daily living. But out of this uncertainty, there were lights of creativity shining in many homes. People found new ways to connect to loved ones. They learned new skills. They pursued long thought about dreams while they stayed at home.
My mom, Eleanor Housworth, was one of these people that used the shutdown to pursue her dream. A lifelong reader, she always dreamed of writing children’s books. Lockdown inspired her to create stories to connect with her grandchildren from afar. And her stories helped keep my children’s imagination and joyfulness alive.
Her stories also inspired her daughter, me, Sara Kitts! As a teacher by training and lifelong creator, I envisioned the world of P.J. Bear and started creating to bring that vision to life. I applied my design and artistry skills to edit, illustrate, and prepare these books for publishing.
Following a self-published path was not an easy choice. There was and is a lot to learn about this industry. Mom and I have used the last two years to research and explore the indie publishing world, especially in relation to Children’s literature.
Founding Kitts Enterprises, LLC
We formed, KITTS ENTERPRISES LLC, in the summer of 2022 to streamline our book publishing process and provide a vehicle for sharing our stories with a wider audience. Our first book features P.J. Bear, a little bear with a big imagination. These books went on sale through Amazon KDP in October 2022. We are continuing to market our books through social media ads and in-person tables at local craft fairs.
Kitts Enterprises’ Services for Self Published Authors
Self Publishing a book is a process. An indie author is involved in all steps of this process. We offer services to assist independent authors with publishing process and book marketing.
Currently, we offer Editing Services for children’s book manuscripts. This is a critical step for all authors.
- Sara is our in-house Editor. She has 10+ years as an K-12 educator. She earned her Bachelors degree in Education and History from SUNY Cortland. There she was awarded an All-College Writing Award in 2007. She graduated in 2009 from Binghamton University with a Masters degree in History. She has worked for the last six years as a Librarian and Computer teacher at a local elementary school. This has given her a special insight to what elements make a children’s book a “Read it again!” book.
We are also offering Marketing Services for authors with books ready to self publish or already self published books. We will create a customized Featured Author Page to use as a landing page for your marketing efforts. We also offer services to create social media content for authors. Social Media is one of the best ways to build an audience for your books. Content creation can take a lot of time and effort. Purchasing assistance with these tasks helps authors streamline their marketing strategies.
