Stories Worth Telling: Our Path To Becoming Children’s Book Authors

from Teachers Next Door Podcast · host teachersnextdoorpodcast

Have you ever dreamed of writing a children's book but had no idea where to start — or kept telling yourself "someday"?  In this episode, your hosts Michelle and Nicole, get real about their journeys to becoming published children's book authors. They share the light bulb moments that sparked their stories, how they made time to write while juggling full-time teaching and motherhood, and the wild (and vulnerable!) experience of putting their books out into the world. From choosing hybrid publishers and surviving rounds and rounds of edits, to an accidental early book launch and epic book launch parties and signings — this episode is packed with honest behind-the-scenes moments. You'll also get a peek inside both of their books, plus hear their best advice for anyone who has a story inside them waiting to be told. You can purchase our books online through the links on our website www.teachersnextdoorpodcast.com.   Thank you for being here!   Please join our online community on Instagram @teachersnextdoorpodcast.
