I’m Doing a Thing….
I’ve recently filed an LLC through the State of Ohio, and so I am now officially a small business owner. Hooray! 🎉So welcome to my new business:
Word & Numbers LLC
This may especially interest you if you are a Christian parent, grandparent, godparent, aunt/uncle, etc. who loves the “littles” in your life. Additionally, if you are a math teacher looking for creative ideas to use in the classroom, this is an opportunity for you to get more resources.
Why you ask?
I want to make an impact and help people. Therefore, I plan to publish children’s books and other educational content, and I need an LLC to start the process.
I’ve discussed some of my motivations in my blog post: What is Your Beautiful Question? |Reflections on A More Beautiful Question by Warren Berger—Part 5 (This post is a must-read if you want to explore your own beautiful, motivating questions.)
As you can see this lines up with my current beautiful questions:
- How can I write something that will help children like my son grow in their faith?
- How can I write something that can equip teachers to teach their students?
What ideas are currently in the works?
I’ve written a nighttime prayer book aimed at young boys, and I’m working on a book about quadrilaterals. 😊
Where am I in the process?
- I’ve opened a business bank account, so now things are real! Yikes!
- I’m super excited about my prayer book! I think it will be a great resource for parents to assist with bedtime routine. It will definitely keep young boys engaged! My little guy already has all the prayers memorized, and he even made up a song to go with it. 😂 I’ve sent the manuscript off to an official editor. Additionally, I have a potential illustrator and publisher lined up (unless I decided to self-publish.)
- The first draft of my quadrilateral book is gaining momentum, so I will need to send it out for feedback and get it copyrighted. Then after some revisions I can start pitching it to publishers.
What’s next?
I’m hoping to get a new logo this month! Keep an eye out for changes to my Word & Numbers website!
How can you help?
Be my cheerleader! I’m excited, but it’s also a little scary to put yourself out there! Prayers are most welcome as well! 😀🙏
If you are a logo designer, let me know ASAP as I’m hoping to make a decision about a Logo in the next week or so. I may also be sending out samples to have people vote on my logo. If you are an illustrator, contact me in the next few weeks because once I get my manuscript back from the editor, I want to get moving.
But most importantly join my email list by subscribing to my blog! Also, share my blog on social media when you can!
This is so exciting and your content is very needed, especially, for young boys! Praying for God to establish the work of your hands.
Thank you so much!
This is awesome, Annie! Super cool. I’m praying this is a glorifying offering to the Lord, and that he uses your business for much good.
So excited to see what’s next! Jonah
Thanks Jonah!!!
