Hi Joe! This sounds like a wonderful opportunity and I would like to hear more. Please email nell @ rhythmsofplay.com to tell me a bit more about your project and what you are looking for.

Thanks for thinking of me,

Nell

My name is Joe and I’m an Acquisitions Editor at Rockridge Press, a fast-growing, innovative publisher of nonfiction books. My job is to pair subject matter experts like yourself with our in-house editorial team to create books that will enrich the lives of our customers.

I recently came across the “Nature Study for Kids” article posted on The Rhythms of Play website and was impressed with your versatile background as a children’s educator and therapist encouraging children outdoor learning and play, providing fun and original activities and ideas for kids like the DIY acorn marble necklace.

I thought it would be great for us to talk about another book that we have in development now called Camping Anatomy Activity Book for Kids. This book will break down the anatomy of camping for young readers (ages 8-12) with educational and age-appropriate activities that will help them to build their outdoor skills with fun, hands-on learning. We think you’d be a fantastic author for this book, and I’d love to connect and learn more about your interests and see if this project would be a good fit for you!

If you’re interested, let’s talk!

Typically, prospective authors hire literary agents and pursue editors in the hope of eventually publishing a book. At Rockridge Press, an imprint of Callisto Media, we operate on a different business model: we start with the potential reader and — after careful research — build content to meet their needs, which includes finding experts to write each of our books. Our editorial and marketing teams provide our authors with guidance and support on each step of the process. I’m happy to explain our model in more detail when we talk.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to connecting soon!

Best wishes,
Joe
