Expanding My Horizons: Writing More Manuscripts and Polishing My Craft

Since completing my first children's book manuscript, The Friendship Bench, my journey as an author has only gained momentum. Fueled by the excitement and inspiration from my initial success, I have now written four more manuscripts. Each new story is a testament to my passion for writing and my desire to create meaningful and engaging tales for children.

Writing Four New Manuscripts

The process of writing these four new manuscripts has been a thrilling adventure. Each story delves into different themes, from the importance of kindness and friendship to the wonders of imagination and exploration. My children continue to be my greatest source of inspiration, their curious minds and playful spirits sparking new ideas and narratives.

As I wrote, I realized the importance of ensuring that each manuscript was polished to perfection. This is where professional editors come into play. After some research, I discovered Reedsy, a platform that connects authors with top-tier editors, designers, and other publishing professionals.

Finding Editors on Reedsy

Reedsy has been an invaluable resource in my journey. I found highly skilled editors who have helped me refine and enhance my manuscripts. Their insights and feedback have been crucial in improving the structure, flow, and language of my stories. Working with professionals who are passionate about children's literature has not only elevated my work but also taught me a great deal about the intricacies of writing for young readers.

The editing process has been collaborative and enlightening. Each editor brought a unique perspective to my manuscripts, helping me to see my stories through fresh eyes and ensuring that every detail was meticulously crafted. The result is a collection of manuscripts that I am incredibly proud of and eager to share with the world.

Building My Website and YouTube Channel

While my manuscripts were being polished, I simultaneously worked on building my online presence. Creating a dedicated website and YouTube channel has been an essential part of my strategy to reach a wider audience and connect with readers and their families in meaningful ways. My channel will eventually host more content, but for now, it is focused on my inspiration. As my writing journey continues, I will post more content on book releases, promotional offers, readings and new works!
