Meet the recommended writers July 2022

The New Leaf Writing Community. The group was founded by Gabriella White, Antonio Ma-at, and Maja Kopunovic on May 29, 2022. The overall goal for the community and its founders is provide novice authors and students interested in becoming authors with a solid foundation and the tools they will need before beginning their solo journey as an author. 

Authors all over the world can join to participate in  writing competitions, lectures that help improve their skills, and anthologies, as well as other perks while meeting new people simultaneously.

They have a group on WhatsApp and Facebook, as well as an Instagram page.

I have been writing for over 30 years, but professionally for 5 years. I have been steadily a contemporary romance writer, but I am branching out into different sub-genres of romance. I am trying to center in on being a romance author with the focal point of my stories focusing around my Jewish faith. More of a secular and culturally dynamic, I hope I can showcase Jewish characters in a main character love interest role, rather than the stereotype I’ve always seen people have my community represented by.
When I’m not writing, I read and I take care of my son and husband. My life outside of writing is rather mundane. So, writing is as exciting as I get. As for the kind of content I typically cover can be considered triggering to some readers. I like to introduce not glorify, gloss over, mock, or overindulge in topics that may offend of harm someone else. But, I try to show people realistic struggles that many people face in their lives. That could include peer bullying, irresponsible self-harm, mental illness, etc. Most of my material are not meant for readers under 18.

My name is Latasha Thomas. I started writing 4 years ago, but decided to publish my books just last year. I love reading and always and forever will write my books and hope that one day that I’ll have one of my books get a best seller. My first book that I wrote was THE Love I Gave You, but I didn’t publish it until after Handling Surprises came out. A lot of people have been asking for book two and I’m glad to say that it’s coming soon. Just give me some time.

J. Alleyn Winchester is the author of Artemis of the Dodekatheon and Nature Calls, Spring. Listening to his father play on his guitar before reading bedtime stories from the Children’s Book of Virtues, Aesop’s Fables, or The Chronicles of Narnia was a beloved bedtime ritual. He fell in love with how myth and lore shaped generations of cultures and studied storytelling from literary, theatrical, and spiritual perspectives from a young age. They inspired him to write his own tales, starting with one page shorts that would grow into a few chapters. In middle school, he found that stories helped him navigate the complexities of growing up with depression, anxiety, and alternative world views. When he was sixteen, he began developing three, far-reaching series that would later be called The Triad Sagas, two of which were Dodekatheon and Nature Calls. He married his high school sweetheart and muse who shares his love of storytelling with their feline familiar, Archibald. Together, they hope the Imaginings Universe plants new seeds of inspiration in the hearts and minds of generations now and to come.

My name is Meagan Pringle. I am from South Africa. Outside of writing I am studying teaching and I work part-time at a school. From a young age I developed a love for reading and writing. After spending years reading stories, I decided to write my own. What started as cringy fanfiction has slowly blossomed into original works in a variety of genres. My dream is to one day see my books on the shelves and to inspire readers with my words and my stories.

My name is Bryony, and I am a local bestselling author to The Girl from Pompey books. 

I publish memoir style books that shine a light on healing trauma, addiction recovery, and mental health.

My spiritual development is also embedded into all my books and shares my journey of my own development. 

I am also a holistic therapist who has studied mediumship for many years. My books are currently being used as resources within mental health in the U.K. and USA.

I sell TGFP limited edition merchandise, too.
