Once again, I am grateful for Fae Corps Publishing for allowing me to have my books copyedited and re-launched. And I’m especially grateful to Liza Achilles for copyediting my book.
In honor of World Poetry Day, I wanted to share all of my poetry publications for anyone who hasn’t yet seen them. To start, here are all those that were published exclusively online:
Don’t forget that the songs are available, too! Listen to them, and maybe you’ll want to add them to your playlists!
I’m continuing to make progress on the final book in the trilogy. And a few other projects have wheels turning. For one, a story that I shared an open mic reading of last year, I am now working with an illustrator to turn it into a children’s book. I never thought I would be exploring that world, but I am. Liz Gauffreau, thank you for the suggestion!
Also, it’s been suggested I compile all my short works, published and unpublished, into a collection. My only reservation on that is how varied they are (it’d be a big mishmash). For anyone who’s seen the anthologies I’m in, it’d be a combination of holiday, scary, fantasy, and so forth. Another writer suggested making eBook-only editions of the stories and essays. So I ask you, would you read a mishmash collection of poetry, short stories, and essays of mine?
If you are looking for podcasts to listen to, be sure to check out The Merry Writer Podcast, which Ari co-hosts with author Rachel Poli. I have been featured on it twice!
Don’t forget that a new edition of Mystical Greenwood will soon be available! A new edition of Beneath the Deep Wave will follow.
Having signed books at an event at my old middle school once before, I was invited to do so again! People recognized me from my previous signing as well as from the craft fair, and I even got to see some friends and fellow writers!
I sold four books. I didn’t expect to sell too many, but I did, at least, get some more exposure as an author, and that was worth it. One sweet girl even gave me a positive affirmation sticky note, which was truly touching.
I am grateful for Fae Corps Publishing for allowing me to have my books copyedited and re-launched. And I am especially grateful to Liza Achilles, whom I met at the Maryland Writers’ Conference last October, for agreeing to copyedit my books. If you are looking for a copy editor, I highly recommend Liza.
And I must also thank the conference’s keynote speaker, Reed Farrell-Coleman, for telling me that it’s never too late to hire a copyeditor.
