F is For First Times, Five Buck Forum And A Filing Cabinet

My First Time - I finally finished the first story I plan to submit under a pen name. It's for a YA anthology and I wrote it with a specific publisher in mind. Let's just hope they like it.

Oddly enough, the theme for this anthology is My First Time, but unlike my last "My First Time" contribution, this one is fiction.

The deadline is still far off, so I have time to polish the story before submitting it.Will let you know if  it's accepted.

Meanwhile, please do buy My First Time published by Worldreader.org, a collection of true stories to tell girls that whatever they're embarrassed, scared, or excited about, they're not alone.

The stories  are interesting and span both the magic of self-discovery and the exploitation of innocence.The proceeds go to a good cause.

My First Time, An Anthology

A very warm welcome to all the new subscribers who found Storypot through the Online Marketing Symposium.

Some of you  already knew each other and you  welcomed the newbie (me) like the friend you've been missing, not a stranger. Much appreciated.

Available on Amazon

Let me start out by telling you about my latest ebook release. Not just mine though...

On the 23rd December, World Reader published  the ebook version of My First Time, an anthology edited by Jen Thorpe and to which I contributed an essay.

The anthology is a collection of true stories to tell girls that whatever they are embarassed, scared or excited about, they are not alone.

World Reader calls the anthology "the magic of self-discovery and the exploitation of innocence."

My First Time was initially published in print by Modjadji Books in 2012. Worldreader presents this e-book in a new series showcasing fiction and nonfiction from Sub-Saharan Africa.

You can read my essay, The First Time I Experienced Sexual Harassment, in an excerpt on Google Books. Buy the ebook on Amazon. You can also read more about this not-for-profit social enterprise at worldreader.org.

And ja, I know I should have mentioned the ebook release earlier. But the publishers caught me left-footed and I just saw it there on Amazon the other day. It happens....
