tiny personalities that do huge points. In July, I individually launched my launching
junior fiction phase publication, Trying To Find Lily
mind when I composed Trying To Find Lily I discovered out (extremely late in

manuscripts. I pitched Trying To Find Lily to a number of various other authors through Youngster
Lit Vic and also slush stacks, yet in my heart, I understood Trying To Find Lily had not been an excellent

around Australia, yet ultimately, I discovered a balanced out printer (making use of fairly.

up nationwide circulation with John Reed Books through the Australian Culture of.
Writers (ASA) connection. This is readily available to all participants, and also it permitted
Trying To Find Lily to be provided on TitlePage and also various other publication purchasing programs,.
