We're a community where folks can get help to self-publish their family-centered works online. Contact us for details on how you can publish material for free on Mama Bear Productions.
Mama Bear Productions is proud to announce our next featured artist, YellowKat. YellowKat is not just, well... a,"yellow cat" as one might gather from its name. Rather it is a group of three Australian Children’s music entertainers who in the last 3 years have taken Sydney by storm! Find out more.
Mama Bear Productions is looking for books and songs about Harvest, Gardening, Autumn, Back to School, Going to School for the first time. etc. Speaking of school, we've been very surprised that Lessons is one of our most popular categories and we will be putting special focus on educational products this fall.
Recently I posted something on the forum regarding Rhyming Dictionaries (did you see it?). Anyway, if you'd asked me when I was young if I'd plan on being a writer, I'd have laughed at you. I was going to SING! Who knew then that I would write children's stories, songs. reviews, articles, blogs, and class curriculems, among other things.
Not long ago, I asked a dear friend and aspiring children's book author why she hadn't yet gotten her manuscripts copyrighted. She said to me "I know it's a badge of honor to have a drawer full of rejection letters from publishing companies, but I just don't know if I can take that rejection."
A brief look at our Google Analytics reports have revealed a surprising trend. Upon landing at our home page, many visitors go straight to the Books category! That's quite unexpected to us. Especially since we have been focusing primarily on Music. If there are any authors out there looking to self-publish non-exclusively, with no contacts or obligations, folks are looking for you! Please contact us.
While it's true there isn't much on our forum at the moment, it's also true that the more people use it, the more contacts you can make. And lets face it, contacts - though not the only important aspect of business - are seriously helpful. They can get your foot in the door and not on the bottom of a slush pile. You could meet an illustrator that really "gets" your work (be it story or CD cover), a songwriter for much needed songs, a poet to put lyrics to your melodies, musicians to put melodies to your poems, writer who sees your illustrations and writes a story around them. Did I miss anyone?
When we first got the Mama Bear Productions website up, I mean right at the start, before it was interactive, I attended a party. I ran in to some old acquaintances and did some catching up. When Irene asked me about what I was up to I told her about Mama Bear Productions. She listened intently, but I thought she was just being polite. As it turns out, though she is polite, she was listening with real interest.
May flowers are growing - and so are we! We've started out a new Featured Artist tradition. The new Featured Artist spotlight will run periodically by 1) crafting an article about the artists and their work, 2) featuring it in our newsletter, and 3) promoting their shop with home page space on our website. So without further ado, Mama Bear Productions is pleased to feature children's music by Maureen Conlin of Happy Notes Music. Learn More About Maureen.
