I'm so excited to share a lovely post from Molly E. Lee about her thoughts on publishing and her writing process as she wrote Ask Me Anything. There are some hot-button topics that are discussed through Amber’s blog—where teens write in anonymously for advice—and it was wonderfully freeing to be able to touch on each one solely from the perspective of Amber’s character. My editor could’ve told me to shy away from some of the topics, but she didn’t, and I believe the strength in Amber’s character to not fear any question from any person who needs help is what makes the book so important to me. Well, I’m a kick-ass coder, so I created a totally anonymous, totally untraceable blog where teens can come to get real, honest, nothing-is-off-limits sex advice.

I’ve been taking this Intro to PR class and we’ve been discussing the different facets of PR and the processes of PR in different fields and careers. As a blogger veteran (4+ years, baby! ), I’ve made many friends in the community and I’m always happy to point authors in the right direction when it comes to promoting their work.

Whether you’re an indie author or you’re being published with one of the major publishing companies, you need to be aware of what all goes into publishing a book.

This is probably my favorite book box that I've ever gotten. I have an unboxing on my stories where I gush and gush and gush about the items in the box. I'm currently just storing it in my box, but I'm definitely going to make it a wall hanging in the future. This box was just so perfect for me.

In Ancient Greece, a skilled marble sculptor has been blessed by a goddess who has given his masterpiece – the most beautiful woman the town has ever seen – the gift of life. When I found this short story on Hoopla, I had to check it out. Galatea is a retelling of sorts from Galatea's perspective after the events of the story of Pygmalion. This story is a lovely examination of the impact of society's expectations on women and their overtly controlling and objectifying expectations for "the perfect woman".
