So, I wrote a book about a girl drummer...
« on: December 12, 2018, 05:23:21 PM »
A children's picture book, to be more precise  :eek ;D Called "Darci the Drummer: Takes Drum Lessons"

If you guys want to check it out, it's on Amazon and you can go here to find out more info: www.darcithedrummer.com

I want to do more in the series, and I just need all the support I can get...I also want to donate half my profits to local public school music programs, because my focus is music education. Unfortunately I'm still trying to recover the costs of making the book, but I'm positive about the outlook. :) If you guys can, can you help spread the word? That'd be so very cool :D

I also finished another manuscript for a simpler, rhyming children's book about drumming that I'll be submitting to agents and publishers instead of going self-published like with "Darci the Drummer", so we'll see how the traditional book publishing route goes.

I'm on Instagram @jwbcreates, if you want to follow along the journey.

Thanks for taking a peak at my post...any support is most appreciated, much love to you all  :heart

Perhaps I should have put this in the General Music thread instead...any way to delete this so I can repost in the General Music thread?

The first thing that came to mind was that you should NOT write a sequel called "Darci Learns to Diddle"!

Sorry...couldn't help it.

Seriously, though, if my daughter were younger (she's 14 now), I'd TOTALLY buy this for her.  When she was around 5 or so, there was a book published about a little girl who was a fan of the L.A. Kings.  I scooped that up.  She couldn't care less about sports, so I guess it didn't work, but still.

Hope this does well for you!

Good luck with the book, electech98!
