Hi all, I’m very new to this whole author thing. I was given the advice to look for a manuscript critique group. I wasn’t able to find anything on Facebook does anyone have any recommendations? and also is there any risk of stories being stolen when sharing manuscripts?

I would love to see some of the creations you all have published! I've been working all summer and finally published my first work in my Once Upon a Hollow Series, called Stitch in Mischief! I also published a coloring book to go with that story. This journey has been so much fun! Can we share some of our books on here and see what we've all been up to?

Has anyone ever worked with their local school district to connect with parents to get your book out there? If so can you share your process? I am seeing that a lot of District's in our area make it difficult to obtain email address for the complete teaching staff. My book is about a young boy with ADHD and October is ADHD Awareness month. I thought it would be a great opportunity to connect with educators and promote a fun and appropriate resource for the kids.
