B at Home: Emma Moves Again - Now on Kindle

28/5/2016

Comments

 
B at Home, Emma Moves Again by Valérie Besanceney  is now available to buy on Kindle.
Emma is only ten years old, but has already moved twice. Now, her parents are telling her the family is moving again. She’s furious, sad, nervous, and a little excited, all at the same time. Unsure of how to tackle these conflicting emotions, she turns to B, her faithful teddy bear. While trying to come to terms with the challenges of another move, what Emma really wants is just to ‘be at home’.  As the journeys of Emma and B unfold, home changes once again, but home also begins to take on a new meaning that Emma can take with her wherever she goes.

Jo Parfitt on charting an expat journey

21/5/2016

Jo Parfitt
What advice would you give to anyone who wants to chart their expat journey or write their book version of their adventures?

First, learn to write in stories. Look out for stories. Ensure they have SPICE (Specifics, Place, Incident, Character, Emotion), and practice writing them. Get feedback. Now read other books like the one you want to write. Next, plan it, then write a ‘sh*tty first draft’! It is better to get it down but finished than to never progress beyond chapter one because you want to be perfect. Next, go back over it again and again and again. Finally, hire an editor!

More sage advice from Jo Parfitt on Global Living Magazine.
