 “Great children’s book Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2023

I really enjoyed this book! I was actually a taekwondo student around the age of the boys in the story and the descriptions of the school, tournaments, and their teachers brought back so many warm nostalgic feelings for me. I could imagine every sentence as I read. Beautiful job and a sweet book about perseverance and mentorship. ??” Liz

“Fun Read With Some Great Lessons! Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2023

The story is easy to follow and fun to read! The wonderfully descriptive story makes you feel like you know these kids in real life. My favorite parts are the lessons that are intertwined throughout the story. It was a great reminder as a parent, it’s okay to make kids brainstorm their own solutions and to also accept loses from time to time. The history lesson at the end was interested as well, I had no idea! Great read and highly recommend.” Courtney

A must read for new parents! Reviewed in Canada on May 16, 2023

This story is a modern parable; although fun, it gently teaches several critical life lessons.
Simply written, and fast enough to keep young readers engaged, The Warriors Three could be read by a junior reader on their own or used as a bedtime reader by a parent and be enjoyed by both. While age appropriate, the author has made the characters real enough to engage with emotionally. As events unfold, you share their successes, and failures, as they strive for greatness. The history lesson provided is a bonus for those interested in the background! This is a must read for new parents. The mentality it encourages is essential for growth, happiness and success in life.” Steve

Story Catcher Publishing will be opening its door to submissions later this Fall and we can’t wait to share all those lovely stories with the world!

Story Catcher Publishing Expansion: Author Events and Latest Releases

Whether traditionally published, indie published, or even published by a vanity press, book marketing and promoting should be high on any author’s list of priorities. Sales can’t happen without people knowing about your latest creation.

In our area every Spring, one of the largest gatherings in the south happens as a way of celebrating the written word. On May 20th, 2023, Knoxville, Tn will hold its annual Children’s Festival of Reading at World’s Fair Park. With up to 15,000 families attending each year, this is one of the best opportunities for authors to promote their books.

But what if you don’t have any books to sell or maybe just one?

Don’t let that stop you. Be creative!

For the first five or six years I had a booth at the festival, I was a pre-published author. I spent those early years networking and making friends with various authors all over the globe. When festival time came, I reached out to my friends and THEIR signed books began to pour in! I did a series of giveaways using those signed books and created an email list from the people who entered the giveaways. All my friends also included plenty of swag so people visiting my booth was able to walk away with freebies galore!

This year, I’m doing something a little different. I’ve invited another local author to hang out with me at the Story Catcher Publishing booth where they will get the chance to promote their own brand. I wanted to help showcase an author writing in a different genre than what Story Catcher Publishing releases and I found the perfect partner in Susan Weaver Jones. Here’s more about Susan…

Susan Weaver Jones, a local author and retired elementary educator, resides in Farragut, Tennessee. She has taught students in kindergarten through eighth grade in Florida, as well as Tennessee.  In addition, she has written a total of six leveled books for beginning readers in Hameray Publishing Company’s Kaleidoscope Collection and their Zoozoo Animal World Collection (www.hameraypublishing.com).  Look for her books on Hameray’s website:  We Recycle, Service Dogs, Hide and Seek, Spider Monkey, Toucan, and Yak.  All six titles are available in English and Spanish.

This is Susan’s first time participating at the festival and I’m sure she will have a blast!

Story Catcher Publishing will also be showcasing our entire line of released titles, including our picture books, our award-winning historical fiction chapter books, our young adult fantasy novel, our memoir writing journal, and our latest release…THE WARRIORS THREE (a sport adventure chapter book)…coming just in time for the festival!

Mark your calendar, tell your friends, and hop on down to our booth at the Children’s Festival of Reading on Saturday, 5/20, from 10 am until 3 pm. The event is free and there are plenty of fun for everyone!!

And coming this fall, Story Catcher Publishing will open it’s doors to author submissions. We are a hybrid publisher offering services and support to authors everywhere. And as our mascot, Finnigan, says, “Catching Great Stories…Together!”
