Millie’s Writing Process

Millie considers herself to be more of a “plotter” than a “pantser” these days. That means she likes to sit down and plot out her story before diving into writing (versus writing by the seat of her pants). She actually enjoys the revision process–which makes sense when you realize that just means she gets to spend more time with the incredible characters she has created.

Millie’s Publishing Experience

When Millie wrote her first book at age 13, she had two goals regarding the publishing process:

  1. She wanted it to go quickly because she wanted to still be a child when the book got published,
  2. And she wanted to learn everything she could about the publishing process.

So Millie decided to self-publish with her parents and family friends acting as the beta readers. But Millie has gone the publisher route as well, and is now starting her publisher’s marketing tour for her book “Beyond Mulberry Glen.”

Millie is an absolute delight. It’s fun to hear about her Brave Writer memories, adventures in Minecraft Story Mode, and her take on the world of books.

We’re very proud to count her among our alumni.
