Mid-Book Update: Parenting Abroad Is in Developmental Editing and It’s Going to Be Amazing!

Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with you—I’m currently in the middle of writing my next book, Parenting Abroad, and I’ve already sent it off for developmental editing! This stage is always a huge milestone in the writing process, and I couldn’t be more excited about how things are shaping up.

A New Approach for Parenting Abroad

You might be wondering, “If the book isn’t finished yet, why is it already in editing?” Great question! This time around, I’m trying something a little different. I’m structuring Parenting Abroad in a way that makes it an even more informative and immersive experience for you, the reader. To achieve this, I’ve brought on board a team of amazing professionals—specialists in various fields of parenting, education, and child development—who are working alongside me to create the best possible content.

Why Start Editing Now?

The truth is, developmental editing isn’t just about polishing the final draft; it’s about shaping the book from the ground up. By involving editors at this stage, I’m able to refine the structure, ensure the narrative flows smoothly, and make sure every chapter is packed with valuable insights and practical advice. This collaborative approach means that as I continue to write, I’m getting real-time feedback that helps me make the book even better.

This process is especially important for Parenting Abroad because I want the book to be more than just a guide—I want it to be an immersive experience that truly resonates with parents navigating the challenges of raising children in a foreign country. The developmental editors are helping me craft a book that’s not only informative but also engaging and relatable.

Amazing Stories and Expert Insights

One of the things I’m most excited about is the incredible stories I’ve gathered from parents around the world. These narratives are at the heart of Parenting Abroad, offering real-world perspectives on the joys and challenges of raising children in different cultures. These aren’t just stories—they’re lived experiences that bring depth and authenticity to the book.

In addition to these stories, I’m collaborating with a range of specialists—from child psychologists and educators to nutritionists and speech therapists—who are providing their expertise to ensure that Parenting Abroad is as comprehensive and helpful as possible. Their contributions are making this book a rich resource for parents, filled with expert advice that you can trust.

What’s Next?

As the developmental editing process continues, I’ll be refining the content, adding new stories, and ensuring that each chapter offers actionable insights for parents. I’m committed to making Parenting Abroad a book that not only informs but also inspires, and I’m so grateful for the support of my editors and specialists who are helping me achieve that goal.

I can’t wait to share more updates with you as the book progresses. Keep an eye out for sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes insights, and maybe even a few surprises along the way!
