Hey there! I'm Millie Florence, an author of middle-grade fiction books, including Honey Butter and Beyond Mulberry Glen, The Balter of Ashton Harper, and The Mage Pocket: Apprentice Alliance. I published my first book when I was thirteen years old and have been pursuing my career as an author ever since.

The Merch Drop is Here!

No livestream this week, but that's because I've been working so hard on MERCH! shop.millieflorence.com

I’m so excited to announce that I’m finally releasing my first-ever merch collection for The Mage Pocket!

You can pledge your patronage to the magic floating Cloud Library with cozy crewneck sweatshirts and useful tote bags. Represent the book series’s logo with t-shirts and stickers, or grab a poster of the fantasy map illustrated by the lovely Sarah Collins.

My personal favorite is the Cloud Library sweatshirt. I wear mine all the time—it’s super comfy.

Head to shop.millieflorence.com today to purchase and support the book series! And stay tuned, as I’ll be making merch for my other books soon!

Poetry tea time is happening next week! If you have a recommendation for a poem I should read, leave a link to it in the comments below. It could be a poem by a classic poet, one you just love, or even one you wrote yourself, as long as it's posted publicly online and the content is appropriate. Please be aware: I may not be able to read all of the poems recommended, but I will take them all into consideration!

The Mage Pocket: Apprentice Alliance has won its first-ever AWARD! ✨🏆 Theo's
tragic backstory wasn't for nothing, guys! 🤣

In all seriousness, this is particularly special to me, as The Mage Pocket is, in a lot of ways, the culmination of everything I've learned about writing over the years. To see all that time spent learning and honing my craft pay off is an amazing feeling. Thank you to The Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators! And thank you to Sarah Collins and Yenthe Joline, my lovely illustrators, for helping bring this story to life!

It hasn't even been a full 24 hours, and the book I've been writing on stream already has FANART? ;-; You guys are amazing. The drawing of Everett and Matilda was done by Vivian, and the mushroom monsters were drawn by Alissa. If anyone else would like to make fan art and tag me, I'd be happy to showcase it on stream next week! Thank you guys for the amazing support!

A very special book is in the works… A Letter, A Lighthouse, and a Ghost Cat, written by Millie Florence, and (fully!) illustrated by Sarah Collins will be coming to bookstore near you in the foreseeable future.

This is just a sketch, not the finished work! However, this book will have a fully illustrated interior with 42 unique black-and-white ink drawings by the incredible Sarah Collins.

I’m genuinely so excited for this! Sarah is the perfect artist for this project, and we’re having so much fun working together. Prepare yourself for record-breaking levels of coziness and whimsy.

Listen to the book's official music playlist on my website: millieflorence.com/coming-soon-a-letter-a-lighthou…
