  2. Útgáfa og bókadómur: Titta! | Book release and book review in Sweden

    Útgáfutíðindi og bókadómur: Í dag kemur út hjá forlaginu Argasso í Svíþjóð myndabókin Titta! (Sjáðu!)

    “In 2021, I had my manuscript assessed by Brenda Gurr from Red Paper Kite Publishing. I really valued her constructive feedback and clicked with her on a professional level too. I continued a working relationship with Brenda by enlisting her as the editor of my debut picture book, “Sophie Won’t Sleep”. In the same year, I attended a session on self-publishing at the CYA conference and made the decision that this would be the year I take the plunge and self-publish “Sophie Won’t Sleep”.”

    “From the date of my assessment to the date of publication it took just 72 days. During this time, I had undergone major surgery and was confined to bed for 8 weeks. From my bed I recruited illustrators from all over the world, connected with Red Nose Australia to set up the ongoing charitable donations of 100% of the profits, completed the layout and design of the book, set it up for international sales and created an accompanying video that is available immediately and for free whenever a family needs it. The book and video of ‘My Brother Born Sleeping’ has now helped over 500 families tackle the difficult conversation of pregnancy and infant loss with siblings. Without the connections I made from the Kid Lit community at the CYA conference, and without the kindness of the assessors who rejected my manuscript, I would never have had the confidence to undertake this project and this book wouldn’t exist.”
