Introducing...A Huge Announcement!

And, yes, I've been hiding this secret for months!

Hello, friends!

I’m SO thrilled to announce that I’m going to be PUBLISHED this year!

*lots of cheering and throwing of confetti 🎊🎉🥳*

You may have heard me mention that I’ve been part of an online writing community since I was thirteen years old, and being there has been one of the best parts of my life – not only have my writing skills grown, but I’ve formed some amazing friendships! About a year after I joined, a subforum called the Guild opened up for young adults who strive to become authors, illustrators, or songwriters with their work in various fields of industry. (One of my good friends, India, is a published author who has three books out already!)

About a year ago, we were presented with an amazing opportunity by the moderator of our group and chief editor, Mrs. Andrea Yenne, to be a part of the first ever Guild anthology! We have all been working incredibly hard to get a finished project out this year, and it looks like we will meet our goal!
