From Pretending to Read as a Toddler to Publishing with Scholastic: Little Avril’s Big Literary Journey
Even as a little child , who didn’t even start Schooling little Avril had such love for books that she would keep staring at books pretending to be reading. Books of different pictures and colours would fantasize her and she would ask her parents to buy them .
Avril loved Stories and created her own stories . Her story telling sessions were never ending and often had to be interrupted by the listener , to be continued for the next time. When little Avril started school, Library became her favourite subject and often she found herself lost in an ocean of books not knowing which to pick. Amongst the toy shops in the market place , was the book shop that she most cherished and unlike many kids, one would find Avril busy picking up a collection for herself. A deep desire of being an Author was somewhere taking roots in Little Avrils heart and as life gained momentum this little desire eventually became true and avril became a Published Co-Author of ‘’ A Montley Collection of Marvellous Stories”, an anthology of Short Stories created under Scholastic Writers Academy, in which her story” Valerie saves the Season “, got published.
Based on her exceptional work , discipline, creativity , she was hand-picked for the Scholastic Writers Academy – Version 2.0 an advanced, invite-only programme designed to help young writers level up which marked a significant milestone in her writing journey, as she was now eligible to begin the path toward becoming a solo published author . After a special mentoring programme, where she worked closely with a Scholastic Literary Expert, Avril became the Author of her own complete book , “The Quest to Find the LUMINOUS ROSE ‘’, which was officially published by Scholastic .
