Kudos to Tres, Kristy, Denisha, and Janine!

Hi, Brian.

Hope you had a wonderful sunny weekend!

I am thrilled to announce that Plumleaf Press will be publishing my picture book manuscript, Nahliya and the Lady. I appreciate your ongoing support and guidance, which has been invaluable. Thank you for being part of this journey.

See you on Wednesday at our Kid Lit class :-)

Hi, Brian.

Thought you might be interested to know that my new book, Touching Grass, was chosen as a top 10 Best Kids' books of 2025 by Indigo. 

This book idea came from our writing retreat and we worked on it at several of the Friday Intensive classes. Can't thank you and the Friday group enough for your help with everything.

Check it out here.

Cheers,

Kristy Jackson

Our next writing retreat runs October 21 – 24, but our next retreat that still has space is coming up in April. Check it out here.

Hi, Brian.

A tweaked version of my story, “Polaris,” has ben published in the fall issue of The Writing Disorder.

Thanks for your help with it,

Also, you may recall that I went to the Pennwriters Conference in Pittsburgh to pitch Until the Lamb Becomes the Lion. I also did a rough first page of Strip Mall Magicians for a critique panel. One of the panelists thought it would make a good streaming series for something like Netflix. I took her course, four evening classes titled An Intro to Screenwriting.

The long and short of it is that I ended up applying to The Toronto Film School to their writing for TV and screen. And, well, I got in!

So that’s what I’ll be doing for the next year and a half.

Thought I’d let you know as you have helped me a lot on my writing journey.

All the best,

Denisha Naidoo
