What\u2019s your life\u2019s dream? Has\nsomeone told you to go for your dream? Did you believe that if you can dream\nit, you can achieve it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I dreamed (also correct \u201cdreamt\u201d)\nof seeing my book displayed in bookstores and reaching a wider global audience.\nAfter one year of email exchanges with prospective publishers and literary\nagents, this is now an impossible dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best-selling non-fiction\nseries “Chicken Soup for the Soul” by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor\nHansen were rejected by over 100 publishers before it sold over 130 million\ncopies. Canfield had said, “The first time we went to New York, we visited\nwith about a dozen publishers in two days with our agent, and nobody wanted it.\nThey all said it was a stupid title, that nobody bought collections of short\nstories, that there was no edge \u2014 no sex, no violence. Why would anyone read\nit?” (https:\/\/www.flavorwire.com\/216086\/10-best-selling-books-that-were-originally-rejected).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike Jack Canfield, I can only depend on words of mouth. That’s why I am reaching out to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It does not do to dwell on dreams\nand forget to live; remember that<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em>\u2013 From Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K.\nRowling<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My book \u201cEnglish Language Lovers\u201d<\/em> addresses mixed-bag adult learners’\ndifferent needs and attributes in face-to-face and virtual classrooms. It\ndiscusses trainers\u2019 and participants’ qualities, responsibilities, and\nchallenges using first-hand experiences and anecdotes. It showcases the\nimportance of language skills and answers questions on levels, standards and\nquality; for instance: “Are native English speakers the best teachers for\nadult learners?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI found your manuscript both engaging\nand very informational from start to finish. At times, it was humorous, and I\nfound myself being corrected on my own grammar which was very humbling being a\nnative English speaker. Also, it was humbling because English has been a strong\nsuit in my academics, but I continue to find out how much I did not learn in\nschool as I read different books such as yours\u201d <\/em>– J.A. Cox, Beta reader and American writer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every chapter has photographs or memes and information\non grammar, vocabulary, and idiomatic expressions presented in an amusing yet\neducative way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is for those who enjoy honing their skills in English communication,\nteaching, or learning amid a continually changing world. It is a nice coffee\ntable book or a gift for any occasion. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for reading and sharing it with others<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
