This looks like Alchemilla mollis and makes a lovely tea.

Punishment is totally unnecessary. Logical consequences, like being late for school because you slept in can make sense. Kids need support, love and understanding.

It is very challenging! I also wonder if it is sort of a have to these days to have a direct connection through a family member or friend to agents and publishers. The slush pile is intimidating.

Thanks! I wish you the best with your writing as well.
When I spoke to an agent, she said there are more factors involved when it comes to fiction. If you write a book an agent loves and they see a way to take it to market, they will take the risk even if you don’t have a large audience.

Thanks :) I’m leaning towards selling it as a PDF so the formatting is preserved since it has a lot of images. It’s great that we have ways to self publish. Hope all goes well with your book too!

I have been querying for the past year and recently had it confirmed that nonfiction authors need to have an established large audience and successful business to be able to go the traditional publishing route. Fiction has a lot more chance but there are many factors at play.

Yes, the credentials seem to be very important too. It’s not enough to be a good writer with great ideas and information that is accurate but you need to already have many people paying attention to your work, either through academics or business.

I just sent my book to beta readers yesterday and it felt scary but exciting to send the book out for the first time. Similar but less intense to sending my daughter to kindergarten.
