Introducing Mindful Parenting magazine!
With less than a month to go until launch we thought we'd put together a little video to show everyone what this publication is about.

Enjoy!

INTRODUCING MINDFUL PARENTING MAGAZINE

Well - the first issue of the magazine will be launching next month!
Here's an idea of what it will look like.

If you haven't already subscribed or joined the Facebook group make sure you do so prior to launch!

New Project: Mindful Parenting Magazine

It's been a while since my last blog entry. I've been busy!

I am launching a brand new magazine this year called Mindful Parenting. I've found a way to bring things I am passionate about together through the vision of this magazine.

Mindful Parenting is a new lifestyle and parenting magazine that will provide parents with information that is inspiring, uplifting and authentic. We hope to bring parents stories that cover aspects of life that are relevant to the "stay at home" or working parent.

We are currently welcoming unsolicited submissions for articles covering, but not limited to:

- Parenting

- Children's Literacy/Book Reviews

- Natural therapies

- Inspirational stories that empower parents 

- Eco Living

- Family

- Education

- Wellbeing (for adults and/or children)

- Holiday destinations and activities

- Art and Craft

- Cooking/Recipes

We are also looking for writers for a regular column or for our "Ask Our Experts" section. Interested writers with a niche/expertise in relevant fields are welcome to send a pitch via the Submission Form on the website. If you have something to contribute we want to hear from you!

For submission guidelines please visit the website for more information: www.mindfulparentingmag.com.au

Mindfulness & Motherhood

My article on Mindfulness and Motherhood has just been published on Happy Child, an online parenting magazine.

Do you practice mindfulness and does it help you get through the 'challenges' of parenthood?

MG & YA Craft Intensive

A little while ago, I attended a Picture Book Craft Intensive online webinar with Mary Kole, Literary Agent at Andrea Brown Literary Agency. Writing a brilliant Picture Book manuscript is no mean feat in a highly competitive market, and Mary's webinar really gave me some extra direction as well as some valuable tips. It was so nice hearing someone talk so passionately about picture books too! Mary has a blog that's full of great information for children's writers - be sure to check it out if you haven't already.

This month Mary's holding a Middle Grade & Young Adult Craft Intensive. If it's anything like her PB webinar, it will be worth it's weight in gold to the aspiring children's writer.

On the writing front, I've been working on my PB and MG works in progress and I have just had an article of mine put forward for a main feature in a UK Parenting Magazine due for publication in November, which I'm thrilled about!
