From Edie: Dreaming of publication but facing setbacks? Discover how to keep writing through rejection, delays, and detours—and stay encouraged as your publishing journey unfolds in the right timing.

I’ve always dreamed of working in publishing full-time and being a very successful mermaid, but that’s a whole other story. From the moment I first held a new book in my hands, with crisp, colorful pages and words I couldn’t read, I imagined a life surrounded by stories, ideas, and the people who bring them to life. Yet the path to that dream has been anything but straightforward. In fact, it took years of many wrong turns, “no’s,” setbacks, and even falls to arrive where I am today. And truthfully, the journey isn’t over. Each day brings new challenges and new opportunities to grow.
