If you’re a book lover, writer, educator, or parent/guardian of young readers, you’ll enjoy the bookish and nature-y content in my Book🌱Leaves author newsletter. The newsletter is a quiet place, not unlike the mountain holler where I write the Tree Street Kids middle grade (ages 8-12) series from Moody Publishers.

Every other Tuesday, you’ll receive:

• In a Nutshell–brief reflections on the writing life & giveaways only for subscribers
• Bookworm Food–book recommendations, especially for children
• Planting & Pruning–writing and editing tips from a published author and professional book editor (me!)
• We Are the Branches–photos from the writer’s woods and literary quotes to tend your imagination
• Word on the Tree Street–updates on new books in my series

SUBSCRIBE HERE!

(Be sure to confirm your subscription in the email you’ll receive after subscribing.)

The first Book🌱Leaves newsletter of 2024 goes out Tuesday morning, January 9. I’ll be sharing about an adventure of a lifetime, an excellent article on Christian children’s publishing, my favorite immersive writing sprint video, an author update, and more. Free downloads for subscribing include two Tree Street Kids mazes for kids and a “how-to” on using family reading time as devotional time.

This is the time of year we reassess how and where we spend our time (especially online) and with whom. I truly appreciate every signup, every open email, and every personal note I get from subscribers. This has been a wonderful way (better than social media) to engage with folks who love good stories and this miraculous world…and see the eternal value of both.
