I want to introduce you to one of my new favorite authors.

She's younger than most published authors. In fact, she says she decided to publish her first book at nine years old. When she was 10, she attended her first writing conference. When she was 13, she self published her first book. She was homeschooled. You probably could have already guessed that. And she has been on a roll ever since.

Now she's 20 and she's making books I know your families are going to love.

Millie Florence shares her journey from whispering stories to herself under the covers to published author, plus her advice for aspiring young writers and their parents.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

How Millie’s homeschool experience informed her writing, and vice versa
Why it was so important that Millie’s parents took her professional writing aspirations seriously
Why Millie encourages young writers to choose quantity over quality in their projects
