I've Been Published!

January 2, 2017 at 6:21 pm, No comments
Its 2017 and I've just had a lovely surprise to start off the year - I've been published!  Well actually, 15 year old Hollie has been published.  Every month the LDS Church releases a series of magazines: The Liahona, The Ensign, The New Era & The Friend, with the latter two being aimed at teens and children.  When I was 15 I wrote a piece of writing entitled 'Celestial Moments.'  It was a short article about a lesson we had learned at church which really inspired me and filled me with hope.  I decided to send my piece of writing to the church magazine address in the hope that it would be submitted for publishing in one of the magazines.

Now, at 22 years old I find that my little article has appeared in both 'The Liahona' and 'The New Era' magazines for January 2017.  I am absolutely thrilled and when I first saw it I really actually couldn't remember too much about writing it.  It was so nice to be reminded of my young self and how I felt back then.  I am hopeful that my words will be able to inspire and touch the hearts of others.

My heart jumps a little every time I log on to lds.org and see my name in print!  Not only is the article readily available to anyone in the world online, 'The Liahona' is published in up to 47 languages and is distributed to thousands and thousands of members worldwide.  I plan to print the article off in every language it is published in and store them in a folder!  In fact, my brother-in-law (who is fluent in French) was kind enough to read my article to me in French this week.  I read the New Era every month growing up so its a pretty cool feeling knowing that young people all over the world will probably be reading what I wrote.  I can only hope that they enjoy it!

So whilst you may not have a clue what I'm talking about or think very much about it, this is a huge deal for myself!  It has brought me a lot of joy and a sense of achievement.  I am so happy to see something I've written be printed in such a widely read magazine!

If you'd like to read my article you can view it online here.  Alternatively, here is a photo of the article as it looks in the magazine!
