Hello everyone! My name is Chanelle I am a first time author working on a memoir about my journey as a single mom who was also raised by a teen single mom. My story brings light to a variety of issues including generational trauma, religious trauma, the way society often fails struggling single mothers, loving someone with addictions, domestic abuse, and sexual abuse. I am currently editing my first draft at 85,000 words. I am striving to be traditionally published as that seems to be what works best for me. Im excited to be a part of this group and look forward to connecting with fellow writers 💕

Hello everyone👋 My name is Chanelle, I am a first time author writing a memoir. Im a domestic violence survivor, and a single mother who was raised by young single mother. My book is about generational trauma, addiction, religious trauma, DV, s*xual assault, the struggles of single motherhood, and finding yourself in the healing. Im in the process of editing my first draft at 85,000 words, and adding in final touches. I would love to find critique partners, and beta readers to give me some feedback! My goal is to start the querying process by January 2026, as Im aiming to be traditionally published. Im so happy I found this community and Im excited to get to know you all 🙂

@L.a Fowler thanks I hope so too! Its definitely been difficult to write yet healing at the same time. I am hoping that telling my story can be impactful for a lot of people who've experienced similar things, and eye opening for those who haven't but are interested in these types of issues.
Greetings

Hello Im new here as well!
MUST READ - AND COMMENT READ AND UNDERSTOOD
It’s come to my attention that some members are being approached privately for services. This is not allowed under our rules. If you offer a service, you’re welcome to make a post about it and let people come to you. If someone posts asking for a specific service you provide, you may comment and discuss it openly then decide together how to proceed. This community was never meant to be a marketplace. It’s meant for genuine support, advice, laughter, and learning. Anyone who ignores this rule will be removed without warning. I want this space to grow into one big, happy book family where we help each other succeed. There’s enough opportunity for everyone let’s share the pot, not fight over it.
