Read the entire story about how my first book began, at Storybelly - deborahwiles.substack.com
See you there!
Freedom Summer book cover with text overlay saying "How my first book, Freedom Summer, came to be" Green background with white text. Text reads "I was eleven years old in 1964, the year the Civil Rights Act was passed. It took me over 30 years to write Freedom Summer. It took the time it took. Stories are like that. The book I’m working on now has been re-teaching me this, for years… but more on that another day." Image shows author sitting on steps in front of her house. Text overlay reads "We all have these stories. They live in our hearts, in our minds, and in our bellies – what we know, what we feel, what we can imagine. The moments of our lives, the memories we have of them, and the meaning we give them." Image shows the author's desk with a notebook, a laptop and screen, and a photo frame that contains a smiling image of the author. Text overlay reads "But more important: what is the story that you would write, should you be given just one? What would that one story be?"

How it’s going so far, lol: Over here, at Storybelly Central, we’ve feasted on subs from Publix, we’ve inhaled congratulatory red velvet cake, and we’ve swigged celebratory toasts with sparkling cider...

💫 Storybelly launches in 1 week 💫

Stories come from three places:

💡what we know (touch your head)

❤️ what we feel (tap your heart)

🌈 what we can imagine (pat your belly)

That’s where Storybelly comes in
