Let's talk about rejection letters. If you've ever tried to get published in the traditional publishing industry, you've written a query letter or book proposal. Unless you're incredibly lucky on the first letter you send off, you'll get a rejection letter back that sounds something like this: "After careful consideration, I just don't feel like I'd be the best fit for your story.." etc. So what do you do? 1. You go back to your current draft of your book and you keep working on it. Take it to the next level. Ask your closest friends to review it and actually listen to their comments. Why? If they mention something, it's likely a future reader will be thinking the same thing about your book too. So fix any problems now and accept critique advice as a rare insight into your readers mind which is something you cannot see as the writer. 2. Go back and edit it again. I know, I know. It looks like I'm repeating myself but I cannot tell you how many revisions, including multiple major revisions a book needs before it's fit to let it go. Krista and I had so many edits and multiple drafts and many "last checks" that turned into whole book re-do edits---we we're shocked. But we we're also very pleased. The more we pushed ourselves, the less scared we became to try harder and try newer things and add more...and the better our book became. So unmarry yourself from your draft and re-do your vows with your book writers. 3. Find new agents and re-submit your book. If you're still not getting any takers, see step 4. 4. Publish it yourself. Once you're book is really ready and rocking it's final draft, go ahead and self-publish it. Sell your book. Advertise your book. Be your own advocate and spread your heart and soul with the world! #bookreview #kidsbook #bookshelf #toddleractivity #igreads #earlychildhoodeducation #childrensbooks #authors #authorsofinstagram #selfpublished #picturebook #kidlit #kidsbookstagram #writers #earlyliteracy #raisingreaders #childrensliterature #momlife #toddlermom #momlife #instamom

In between playing dress-up and teaching our kids their abcs, my sister and I wrote and illustrated our 1st children's book together, Glitter Bear Learns About Shapes. It took us a year and a half to finish our book to its latest edition which at the time felt long...but you know what? We're just about to finish our 2nd book right now. And guess how long it took us? Just 2 months to write and illustrate it. It'll take us one more month to make the final changes and it'll be ready to go. We're so incredibly excited and pumped up to keep making books. Everything you do as a writer or author contributes to your craft, your speed, and your ability to grow as a writer. You just need to START. Even if you're just jotting down ideas on a note pad. YOU CAN DO IT! Your dreams can come true. As a freelance writer, I've interviewed dozens of authors (both traditional and self-published) and literary agents. Do you know the one thing in common among all the authors I've talked to? Persistence. If you chase your dreams, one day you'll be holding on to them and you'll have turned them into a reality. What are your greatest dreams?? What are you going to do today to make it happen? #bookreview #kidsbook #bookshelf #toddleractivity #igreads #earlychildhoodeducation #childrensbooks #authors #authorsofinstagram #selfpublished #picturebook #kidlit #kidsbookstagram #writers #earlyliteracy #raisingreaders #childrensliterature #momlife #toddlermom #momlife #instamom #glitterbearlearnsaboutshapes

We're soooooo excited @storymamas is talking about our book 💛Glitter Bear Learns About Shapes 💛! If you have a little one who's learning their shapes, check out what the 3 mom's from @storymamas had to say about it😄😄: #repost Glitter Bear is one of those books you will love reading to a toddler or preschooler over and over again because there is just so much to do while you read: trace the shapes, use your senses, go on a shape scavenger hunt and we’re sure you can think of a few others. Even if you have a child who already knows his/her shapes this book will still entertain them! We love the fact that Glitter Bear isn’t labeled as a girl or a boy so each child can’t claim the book isn’t for them based on gender and instead every child can relate. Thank you @writermommies for sending us your first book for us to review! We wonder if this one will come out in board book format, perfect for those little ones that are still learning respectful book etiquette. We can’t wait to see the next ones in the series! #bookreview #kidsbook #bookshelf #toddleractivity #igreads #earlychildhoodeducation #childrensbooks #authors #authorsofinstagram #selfpublished #picturebook #kidlit #kidsbookstagram #writers #earlyliteracy #raisingreaders #childrensliterature #momlife #toddlermom #momlife #instamom #glitterbearlearnsaboutshapes

Just finished my first day as a HEAD COACH for my daughter's running club! I am so excited it was a success 😅 I really want to help support my daughter in her interests and I am so happy I can be apart of it with her ❤❤😁😎 This is the start to my 90 day fitness challenge 💪 Before getting pregnant I was in the best shape of my life and I am determined to not let another day, another week, another month go by. A month ago I injured my shoulder and the chronic pain was unbearable. I don't want to keep injuring myself because of I am neglecting self care. #kidsfitness #runningclub #fitmom #momfitness #healthylife #fitness #keepontrack #weightloss #weightlossjourney #fitnessmotivation #wellness #transformationtuesday #gettingfit #fitnessmom #90daychallenge #90dayfitnesschallenge #90daychangeyourway #90days #fitnessfirst #fitnessgoal #fitnessmoms #fitnessmommy #fitnessmomma #authors #authorsofinstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #selfpublished
