Writing a book is kind of an endeavor. But, when you are also the creator and photographer of that book, it’s an even bigger mountain to climb.

I began putting together the concept for my Funky Florals book in early 2020. I pitched it to my publisher at the time, who declined. So, I kept working and pitched it again several months later. Declined.

So, I set it aside and focused on online courses. I created 4 more Funky Florals online courses over the next 3 years, and then discovered Better Day Books. I loved the books they were putting out - the design was beautiful and just really appealed to me.

I revamped my book proposal which was now 100 times stronger. The work I did over the 3 years since setting the book aside had made my content so much better. I improved, so the book itself improved. I was suddenly thankful that I had been told “no”, because I just wasn’t ready.

Better Day Books said YES! (with the exclamation) and in May of 2023 I got to work. And it was a LOT of work - the most work I had put into any project in my career, and it paid off - because this book is my FAVORITE project in my career.

Here is a little peek inside the process of creating, photographing, and writing this fun and funky instructional book.
