This week we celebrate Memorial Day and Colleen takes some time to reflect on what Memorial Day means to her. With a long list of family who served, she lends her perspective to those who we remember.

While we're re-introducing ourselves, Peter wanted to take a few moments of your time to say hello again!

It's been over 10(!) years now since Peter joined Colleen in the business and he shares some background on who he is and why he enjoys working at Your Literary Prose.

Working with authors was not always the dream but a lifelong love of books and an opportunity of a lifetime brought the job to Colleen!

Over 10 years ago, Colleen took the Professional Author Assistant Training Course which led to another incredible opportunity: teaching and running the very same training course.

That's why today, Your Literary Prose is proud to partner with The Author's Voice as our official training platform.

Colleen shares a bit of our journey to this point in our first blog on our brand new website!
