Ever had a big idea that didn't pan out? I did, with my ambitious project "A Witch Fit to Be a Queen," a winding tale of sci-fi, fantasy, and the paranormal. This story was a challenge I wasn't ready for, but the experience served as a stepping stone rather than a setback. Join me as I recount how I transformed a flop into a lesson in assessing my skills realistically and navigating my creative process more effectively.

It's not just about proficiency; it's about diversity and representation. Learn how a diverse editorial team can enrich your work, making it a true representative of diversity and a testament to your talent. A confident choice is always a good choice. Buckle up for this intimate journey through the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of a writer's life.
