Happy Friday Wanderers! I have been writing for as long as I can remember. It has been the one consistent hobby in my life. I have always known that I want to be published, and thought that I had to go the traditional route. I have been trying for over a year to get agents interested in my children's book, 'Anna the Happy Water Droplet' . Every agent I have submitted to has either rejected or didn't respond to me.
I found another local author at the Carroll County Farmer's Market. He gave me the name of his publishing company, and let me know they also did his illustrations. I have been having trouble finding a reliable illustrator for 'Anna' so this was news to my ears!
I submitted 'Anna' for review by their Board and was beyond ecstatic when I got the news that they would publish 'Anna'. I was even sent a contract. That's when reality set in. It was going to cost me a lot of money to get published.
I work a full-time & a part-time job just to make ends meet, and most months that is next to impossible because my part-time job cuts my hours without warning.
I am in need of your kindness and generocity. I have started a GoFundMe campaign to pay for my publishing costs. I am hoping to raise this money so I can make my dream come true! I know making a donation may not be a possibility - believe me, I understand - so I'm asking that you share with your social media followers and friends!
I am truly thankful to you for taking the time to read this post, I know it's longer than usual, and helping me any way you can. I have also shared this to my twitter and instagram. Please follow and share!
