A Dream Come True!
I have dreamt about writing a children’s book for many years. This year that dream became a reality because of the coaching team from Nightlight Stories, the children’s book imprint of Mission Point Press. Nightlight has an impressive array of knowledgeable people that made my journey meaningful and transformational. I can compare it to building a custom house: my vision became a reality because there were professionals who cared enough to listen, understand the vision and bring the story to full completion. The team: Jen, Zinzi, Jeff, Heather, Julie and of course, Judith Caseley, team leader and editor, who held my hand like a good midwife and reassured me when I would become anxious about the process. The final result is a beautiful work of art that will bring joy to children and adults alike. The Nightlight Stories coaching team is amazing. Trust it with your dreams and vision!

As a first-time author of a children's book, the journey has been both thrilling and daunting. I am incredibly grateful to MPP for their unwavering support throughout this process. From the very beginning, MPP stood out as the publishing company that truly prioritizes its authors, guiding us through every step with care and expertise.
Working with our team leader, Judith Caseley, felt like collaborating with a friend who was genuinely invested in our success. Judith was consistently proactive, honest, and supportive, ensuring that we were informed and confident at every stage.
