Former Speech Therapist Revolutionizes Children’s Book Publishing with AI: Meet the CEO Changing the Game!

Robert Szmigiel |

Karen Richard is a recovering pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, kid-lit lover with a nerdy heart, and the CEO and co-founder of Made Live. Based out of Vernon, BC, Made Live is an AI-assisted end-to-end children’s book publishing platform dedicated to simplifying the publishing process for aspiring authors. Transitioning from a career in speech-language pathology, where books were pivotal tools for developing language skills, Karen ventured into writing and self-publishing her own work. Confronted with the complexities, inefficiencies, and gatekeeping prevalent in the industry, she was inspired to forge a new path and the creation of Made Live.
