I co-authored the Amazon #1 best-seller "Red Bird: Far From Home," which became a success in seven different categories. This journey has provided me with in-depth knowledge of the Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) process, from story development to formatting, cover design, and launching a book on Amazon.
Additionally, I have years of experience guiding young writers through creative writing workshops, helping them develop their unique voices, build compelling characters, and construct imaginative worlds. My teaching approach is designed to make the writing and publishing process fun, approachable, and inspiring for young authors, with a strong focus on practical tools and personalized feedback to ensure each student’s success.
