Low), co-authors of the Singaporean middle-grade book series <em>Sherlock Sam</em>, both grew up reading a lot of mystery books such as <em>Nancy Drew</em> and <em>The Famous 5</em>. Adan began writing at a young age and loved telling stories, but mainly wrote for himself. Felicia was also passionate about writing but was raised by practical, Singaporean parents that didn&#39;t view writing as a career, so she never pursued it seriously. When they were presented with an opportunity to write a children&#39;s mystery series for Singaporean publisher Epigram Books, they jumped at the chance. They pitched their ideas and were signed to an eight-book deal. Being new to the publishing scene, the pair had no idea what to expect and didn&#39;t have a marketing plan in place. Now thirteen books in on this award-winning series, they spend a lot of time teaching workshops and speaking in schools, two things they never thought they would be doing.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-19/videoplaceholder.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../videoplaceholder.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Subscriber, video, Children's Books</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/fiction/w/reason-for-writing/6957/singaporean-co-authors-a-j-low-share-their-journey-to-publication/revision/1Mon, 02 Jul 2018 17:25:44 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:ca7f7d58-675a-4dd1-816f-62843c835b31A.J.
