Have you ever been rejected? It’s not a pretty good feeling but our guest for today has been rejected 95 times by publishers but still strived and persisted until she published her first book. This week, we are going to talk about determination and dyslexia with the Author of the Dream Snatcher Series and The Unmapped Chronicles, Abi Elphinstone.
Abi grew up in Scotland, where she spent her weekends building dens in the woods, hiding in treehouses, and running across the highlands.
Despite being labeled as ‘unteachable’ and ‘prone to spasmodic outbursts of silliness’ by my headteacher, she got through school, and after obtaining an English degree at Bristol University and teaching English in Africa, Berkshire, and London, she is now back to hiding in tree houses and building dens—sometimes in real life, mostly with her books.
