More About Us
The Peacock Writers publish their books semi-annually, releasing their books for Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter Editions. They begin by choosing a 'theme' that represents the current season and then each previous author is invited to write a poem or short story...or two, or three. Other Authors are always welcomed to join in, if willing to submit to deadlines, group editing and illustration placement. Some may not actually write for that book, but may instead only edit, gather illustrations, create video promotions, or create the book covers. Still others, may come and go as their other commitments dictate, making the Peacock Writers a fluid group of people and talents. Word limits are set and story-lines trimmed to meet page and word count limits to create an affordable product, we try to stay below a $25 retail price.
After our first book, we changed book sizes from a 6x9 with a 12 pt. font, to a more 'kid friendly' 8x11.5 book size and larger font for ease of reading. We also narrowed our age target from 0-15 year olds to the 6-12 year olds. On going discussions led to adding an ebook and an illustrated edition, because kids like pictures and so do we, while retaining the more cost conscious plain text editions. Future plans include adding illustrated versions in ebook format and possibly audiobooks!
Book layout is generally set up for the lower reading groups in front, to the more complicated concepts or subject matter in the back. Each season and book, we learn a little more, changing and evolving our books to make a product you would be proud to give as a gift, read to your child, or use as a fund raising tool. The only constraint in usage is we request that the monies raised are used to benefit children. For more information on how to use our books for fund raising events, please follow this link:
