A Hands-On Virtual Work Session for New and Aspiring Authors!

PAST EVENT

Book Scoot 2025 was full of heart, sunshine, and stories in the making! I had such a awesome time posted up in the courtyard of That’s Novel Books, connecting with folks who truly believe in the power of children’s literature.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, support my work, or snag a copy of The Creative Composition Guide to Self-Publishing and Marketing Children’s Books. I’m cheering for the new authors who took that step—and I can’t wait to witness the stories you’ll bring into the world.

Thank you @soirees_entertainment for curating this special event.

Here’s to more moments that connect us through art, culture, and creativity. If we met for the first time at Book Scoot, I hope it won’t be the last!

I’m grateful to share that The Creative Composition Guide has been awarded the Literary Titan Gold Book Award!

To everyone who has purchased a copy, left a review, shared the book with someone they care about, or cheered me on—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your encouragement has helped to illuminate my journey - I’m deeply grateful to the Literary Titan Editorial Team for their 5-star review and the chance to share more about my creative path through my author interview.

PAST EVENT

Presented by @booksonthehouse and hosted by @urbandistrictmarket

I recently had the honor of being featured on WBTV’s QC Life, where I spoke about The Creative Composition Guide to Self-Publishing and Marketing Children’s Books. Charlotte is home to so many talented artists and authors, and I’m grateful to be part of a creative community that believes every child deserves to see themselves reflected in stories.

During the segment, we talked about why diverse children’s books matter, how authors can publish with confidence, and the intentional ways we can uplift voices that have historically been overlooked. I hope that this guide continues to serve writers, educators, parents, and emerging storytellers who are ready to share meaningful books with young readers.
