Imagine Anthology Blog Tour BEGINS! Kick-off Post!
Hey, TWNers, so as some of y’all may know, the anthology we’re releasing, Imagine: A Collection of Short Stories and Poems from the Teen Writers’ Nook Family, comes out in ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!!! ONE WEEK!!! Can y’all believe it?
*crickets chirp*
Well, I honestly can’t. XD It seems like just yesterday we were announcing this li’l ole wacky idea for our one hundred follower celebration. (And guys, guys, GUYS, we’ve now reached over 150 followers. *faints* *revives* THANK YOU GUYS A HUNDRED MILLION BAJILLION TIMES OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s just a dream come true to see Teen Writers’ Nook expanding like it is and to know we can actually be a support for young authors! Each one of y’all are a blessing and joy to me and it means BEYOND words to know y’all wanna spend a li’l time out of your day to come hang with us. THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *showers you all with chocolate, snacks, and other goodies*)
But now… It’s time to Imagine.
So in celebration of this anthology’s release, TWN is hosting our FIRST EVER blog tour. We’re going for two weeks between today and until the 28th and almost every single one of our authors will be featured, some on their own blogs, some right here at your favorite Teen Writers’ Nook, and… well, through the blog tour y’all will be stopping by fantastic blogs and getting a first-hand sight into sneak peeks of these author’s stories and learn more about the writers themselves! This is me trying really hard to sound like a professional marketer and failing quite miserably. Anyway, if you’d like to get to know the geniuses behind these stories and hear more about Imagine, I invite you to join the tour!!!! (Chocolate will be provided.)
Now are y’all ready to get this post a rollin’!!!!!
So to kick off this blog tour, I thought we should talk a bit about how Imagine came to be. As a lot of y’all know, back in March I became an official published author when my short story was released in an all-teen anthology collaborated by Owl Hollow Press and Teen Author Boot Camp. And it was life-changing… At least, going through the whole process taught me a lot about how publishing worked and gave me a chance to work with an editor and everything. Afterward, I began thinking about how I wished other teen authors could have this experience, especially my TWNers. Well, I didn’t think much more about it after that.
Until Teen Writers’ Nook did it. We reached the coveted 100 followers. And obviously, I had promised y’all back when we made it to 50 that I would do something awesome for 100, and now I had to pull something together. And fast. So Kat and I talked and I decided to go with my first idea. I was going to ask either Nadine Brandes or Jennifer A. Nielsen if I could interview them or something on TWN. But, er, be thankful I’m a chicken y’all. Right when I was about to send a message through Nadine Brandes’ contact form, I chickened out, and later, Kat and I decided to try this anthology thing out.
Of course, we had no idea what we were doing. I mean, it took us FOREVER to come up with a good name idea. (Shout-out to Kat for not settling with my idea to call it A Whim of an Idea and for coming up with an actually amazing title! I think we all owe you a LOT of gratitude. XD) Anyway, fast forward about four-five months and we’re one week away from release date. This journey has been crazy hard, a lot more time-consuming than I had first thought. We’ve had our ups and downs, we’ve faced roadblocks, had to take wrong turns and backtrack, and there have been plenty of moments through it all that Kat and I both have wondered: Why did we even decide to do this? I mean, wouldn’t it have been easier to have just done a normal 100 follower celebration like normal bloggers? But, y’all, every time one of our authors has come to us saying that they were so excited for the anthology and this was their first time being published… it’s just made every single challenge worth it. So first I must send the HUGEST thank you to each of our fourteen authors. They have put so much love and time and devotion to their stories, and they deserve this moment so much. Y’all stories have turned out better than I ever coulda hoped and each one of y’all are incredibly talented authors!! I hope this is the first of MANY publishing opportunities cuz the world would be a very sad place if we didn’t get more writings from y’all!!!!! So I encourage you, dream big and don’t be afraid to tackle your dreams. Yes, it will get hard. Yes, challenges will come. Yes, you will spend almost every waking minute wondering why am I even trying this writing thing, it’s too hard. Yes, there will be writers’ block and times when you just don’t feel like you are a “real” author. But I encourage you to fight those moments and to keep writing! In fact, just so much as a single doubt coming across your mind of what if this story isn’t good enough? What if no one will like it? Those doubts prove one thing: You are a real author. Because to doubt means you have your heart and love in your story. And that means it’s something worth fighting for!!!!! And I say this not just to our published authors but to EACH ONE OF YOU reading this!!!!!!!!!! It won’t matter unless you give it your all!
Which brings us to the second group of awesome peeps I must thank. Every. Single. TWNer!!! It’s because of you guys that we’re even doing this in the first place!!! Your love, encouragement, motivation, and support have meant the world to me and I thank you A HUNDRED GAZILLION TIMES OVER!!!!!!!!!!! Every comment every expression of excitement or love for this “whim of an idea” has just touched this li’l ole wacky gal more than words can ever express. And I hope more than anything you will enjoy the anthology as much as these authors have enjoyed getting it ready for you guys. <33333
Thank you next to Allie Andersen for ALL the help she has put in to getting this blog tour ready and together. I can promise you this much: there wouldn’t even be a blog tour if she hadn’t come to me first and asked for one. THANK YOU ALLIE because I am SO happy I get to do this!!!!!!!!! (And thank you for all the awesome zoom chats and letting me go on and on and on about Imagine. XD You’re a blessing to me. <33333)
Thank you to Grace Johnson, Grey S. Park, Alexa, Chloe, Linyang, Alaine, Penelope, Victoria Crooks, Lorelei, and Tori for just EVERYTHING! Your help in getting this blog tour together, your brilliant ideas, your encouragement, helping me get this story out into the world, and just every time you said: “I am so excited for Imagine!” Y’all are what keep me fighting for this.
Oh and another huge shout out to author and YouTuber Bethany Atazadeh for creating such incredible and helpful YouTube videos! They’ve honestly taught me so much y’all about formatting and published and the like.
Thanks to google for making more problems that I have to fix and for being of absolutely no use at all. I’m glad to know our relationship hasn’t changed. XD
And of course, I must send a thank you to my fellow TWN founders and editors, Katherine and Madeleine (a.k.a. Alana)!!!!!! If I wasn’t doing this with y’all, then why am I even doing this at all? Y’all make it waaaay more fun. Plus, there was NO WAY I’d be able to edit those superb poems when I can’t even write poetry to save the life of me. XD
And the final hugest thank you to my Heavenly Father for supporting me and being like, “Yeah, Is, I know you can’t do this which is why I’m here.” I know, I know, I’ve gotta let You take the wheel and run this show, but thank you for sticking by me even when I mess up miserably. Teen Writers’ Nook just wouldn’t even be here today without ya!!!! <333 Love ya. <3333

Oh also, as you probably noticed, I changed my name to Penelope instead of Jane, and my sleep-deprived brain wants me to tell you that it's like when a candy brand changes its package and puts "same flavor different look" so more of like "same person different name". I don't know why, I just felt like I really needed to put that. XD (I'm gonna regret this in the mourning…)

It’s been the best thing that has ever happened to me and has really shown me that I want to be an author. Before I wasn’t sure, but now, I know it’s what I’m meant to do. So again, THANK YOU SO MUCH, IS, YOU JUST DEFINED THE SHAPE OF MY FUTURE!!!! <333333
I was gonna email you that I went through my story one last time (because it scares me to death that I might miss something!) but I might as well tell you here. I don't know how I'm gonna repay you for all of this, but I will find something. You're just too kind, Is, too kind.

D’awww, girl, that just means SO MUCH to me to hear that!!!!!! That’s really all I’ve been looking forward to for the past weeks myself. XD (Lol, girl, you’re SO right!!!!

YOU ARE SO WELCOME!!!!!!!!!! D’awww, you are TOO sweet!!!! This just means so much and is putting tears in my eyes!!!! Though, I must say, it wasn’t just me. Kat and Alana, and really, it just literally wouldn’t have happened if Jesus didn’t give me the idea and the motivation to pursue it.
Hahahaha, yep, THANK YOU for letting me know!!!!!! Hey, that’s really good to go through it on your own one final time. I can’t tell you how much I wished I had done the same for my story. XD Girl, all you can do for me is to just keep writing!! That’s repayment enough. Because I WANT to see you publish more stories, okay? I want to be able to join in on your blog tours and cover reveals and scream to everyone to go read your book. If you do that for me, this will all be worth it!!!

Sisters Three
Whoooo!!!! That’s so exciting!!!! Loved this post!!!! So excited for everyone involved and congrats on that huge accomplishment!!!!!
We’re gonna snag us a paperback as soon as we can…lol…
Issabelle Perry
YAAAAAAASSSSS!!!!!! It IS!!!! D’awww, girls, THANK Y’ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!! EEEEEEE so am I!!! They’ve just worked so hard, and I’m pretty sure they’re all more relieved than anything to see this thing published. XD At least, I know I am. XDD But seriously, girls, A HUNDRED MILLION THANK YOUS!!!!!! I know all the authors appreciate it!!!!
Girls, like, it just means BEYOND WORDS that y’all would even CONSIDER getting a copy of this anthology. THANK YOU SO, SO, SO MUCH!!!! It kinda just makes you feel good to know that someone out there would be interested, ya know?
Sisters Three
We’re sure sometimes we think short stories are harder than novels cause you only have so much space to work with…in a novel, you can just go for as long as you want, so yeah in our minds short stories are harder… so all the authors are AWESOME!!!!
Of course! It sounds awesome!!! And we totally understand…we had a little failed publishing experience which is super embarrassing and we don’t like to talk about….(we were young, mistakes were made all we’re going to say)…but we know we would have loved to know people were excited and actually wanted our book! So we’re excited to support this!!!! And it’s going to be awesome!!! (unlike our book which we cringe when we look at it now…yeesh, that should have never been done…lol….)
Issabelle Perry
Girl, I TOTALLY agree!!!!!!! I even know of a few authors who have told me that they can’t write short stories. I mean, there’s such a short space and you’ve got so much you’ve gotta include, y’know? I think a lot of people struggle with how to write a strong plot and developed characters in such a short space. YES THEY ARE!!!!!!!!!!!
Aaaahh THANK YOU!!!!!! Awwww, girls, I totally feel ya. But it’s nothing to be embarrassed about. I can promise you 100% that you’re not the only authors who have done the same thing. I even know of a writer who has a very similar experience. And if I’m being honest, I’ve had my own failings in the publishing end that we speak not of. XD YESSSSS, girls, I completely get that!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! Aaaaahhh, I hope so!!!! (lol, well you know what they say, you live and learn. 😉 )
Sisters Three
Yeah, we have to be in the right mood and groove to write a short story…lol…many stories were supposed to be short and ended up as novels…lol…we just keep expanding ideas…hahaha!
Well, that’s good to know…mom says the say thing, You live and you learn…thanks for the encouragement, Is!!!
(It’s alright to call you Is, right? We have another friend whom we’ve know since we were like babies and her name’s Isabelle and we call her Belle, so you have been dubbed Is..lol…if that’s a alright…)
Issabelle Perry
Lol, you and me both, girls! I’m the SAME way!!!!!! Hahahaha, the pain is real. 😉 I’m even working on a short story right now for school that is turning out WAAAAY longer than it’s supposed to be. XDD Hahahaha YESSS!!!!!! Personally, I think it’s better to have tons of ideas than to not have any. XDD
Of course, girls!!! My pleasure. Your mom has some awesome advice if I do say so myself. XDD
(Oh, yes, DEFINITELY!!!!!! Issabelle’s a really long name, and personally, takes too long to type. XD My sister and a few of my friends call me Is so it’s totally okay!!!!! Lol, you know what, Belle is one nickname I’ve never gotten. I’ve been Issa, Izzy, Is, Izzard Lizzard (don’t ask XD) but yeah, not Belle. XDD Yep, it’s totally alright, girls. <333)
Kristina Hall
Congratulations!!!

“Thanks to google for making more problems that I have to fix and for being of absolutely no use at all. I’m glad to know our relationship hasn’t changed. XD”
🤣🤣🤣 Oh man, that’s so true!
Anyway, Congratulations to all the authors!!! I’m super excited for you guys! And you too Issabelle, Katherine, and Alana! Over 150 followers??!! That’s amazing, guys! I’m so proud of you! I look forward to seeing the book when it comes out! (and amazing graphic, Is!)
And thanks, Issabelle, so much for the pep talk! It really rang true for me. You may doubt your abilities as a marketer (actually, I thought it was pretty good), but you just gave an amazing motivational speech! (can I just frame it all and hang it on the wall or something?)😃
*cheers y’all on and throws confetti*
Issabelle Perry
Lol. See? I knew someone would agree with me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
YESSSS CONGRATS AUTHORS!!!!!!!!! D’awwww, Lily, THANK YOU SO, SO, SOO MUCH!!!! I cannot tell you how much it means to this li’l ole girl. <33333333 YESSS the bit 150! I literally cannot believe it and if someone told me over a year ago when I started this blog that we'd make it to 150, I probably would've laughed in their face. XD D'awwww, girl, you're TOO SWEET!!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!! Aaaahhh YESS!!!! I am SO glad to hear that!!!!!! (THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I think I'm almost as good as Amy on these graphics. XD)
Girl, of course!!!! I really felt like someone out there needed to hear it, and it is ALL so true!!!!! D'awwww, do you know how much this comment has made me smile, girl???? THANK YOU A HUNDRED TIMES OVER!!!!! I was actually pretty proud over that motivational speech... now I just need to improve the marketing skills. XDD (Hahaha yes, you may absolutely do that. Oooo maybe I should make a graphic with it in it. Hmmm *thinks*)
*dances in confetti and gives Lily some chocolate*
