Jackie reported that the MHW blog has had over 6,800 page
hits since the first post in February 2010.
Bob has made a list of 27 publishers that will accept
unsolicited manuscripts. Of those, half will accept stories for children. He
will share the list after completing a little more research. Bob found a new publishing company based in
Indiana. The Kids at Heart Publishing LLC
link follows: http://www.kidsatheartpublishing.com/
. As part of the research and
preparation phase of his new book series, Bob has been reviewing level 2
reading books and has talked to an illustrator.
Suzy talked about KDP Kids (Kindle Direct Publishing). https://kdp.amazon.com/kids .
Bob read The Adventures
of Rugs, Book 1 Slow Down, Rugs! In this first book of the series, Riley
and Allie help Rugs help himself out of a scary situation. Both Riley and Allie
are main characters and will appear in subsequent books.
Luneil read a story she wrote for a contest. Just a
Look details the day Luneil’s daughter had a massive stroke, the surgeon
that saved her life, and the challenges they all faced.
Suzy read Mrs. Walters
and the Gents. Fellow MHW members are featured in her fantasy story which
was inspired by true events at the previous meeting.
MHW is always looking for new members. The Sip Coffee House
is an ideal place to dine, hang out, and meet new people; Get Inspired! Two young adults (one patron
and our server, Tyler) talked with us about MHW and other writer’s groups in
the region. We hope they will continue writing and consider joining one or more
of the groups for support, critique, and/or learning opportunities. There is a
wealth of information out there!
