MY PERSONAL STATEMENT:
I have worked for years to learn about writing. What works - what doesn't. What children like and their capabilities. How to prepare, polish, publish, and promote the finished book. Some people are natural storytellers and some have to work at it. "WORK" is the secret to being an author. One must be prepared take the time, write (and rewrite and rewrite and rewrite) and do the research to complete a polished work. When you think it's perfect have it critiqued by a professional, then make the corrections. Next, have it proofed by a professional and make the corrections. Let it sit unseen for two weeks. Then read it again, word for word, use a red pen and circle every mistake. You'll be surprised how many you find. Make the corrections. Only then will it be ready to look for an agent or publish independently. Sadly, if you skip any one of the steps you set yourself up for failure. It's a lot of work. Of course it is, because being an author is a business. If you thank that's hard work, wait until you have to market it!
