About Ashley
I'm 27, singer/songwriter, licensed massage therapist (for the last seven years), a full time English student in my second year of college, and a mother to a spunky, silly 6yr old girl. Writing has been in my veins since I could hold a pencil in my hand. I love to write. Mainly I journal, write poetry and songs about philosophy. My current philosophy on love, in particular, drives my writings and I am in the process of getting a manuscript together for my first children's book for children aged 4-8yrs old. It combines silly rhymes with real Love philosophy and is a positive, uplifting message to read to children. I'm beginning my search for New Age/Spiritual-minded publishers who are seeking unsolicited manuscripts for my children's book. I'm extremely excited about it but, I'm a "newbie" here. I've never had anything published and I've been told to devleop some "thick skin" for the publishing world. I'd love any advice from fellow writers! My dream is to be published and maybe have children pull my books from their shelf at night for mom or dad to read before bed. I fantasize about book-signings and dream of going into my daughter's school for "show and tell" and reading my book to her classmates. I'm excited to be a part of the jacketflap community and learning about what opportunities this site can lend me (as well as what I can lend it!).
