Dear Twelve-Year-Old Me: Anthology

I'm thrilled to announce that the anthology I created as Afarin Rava (a pen name made from the last part of my first name and the first part of my last name: nooshafarin ravaghi) is now available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Dear-Twelve-Year-Old-Anthology-Afarin-Rava/dp/B0CC7D4Z4H/

I had the honor and privilege to work with over thirty writers who, hoping to make a positive change in the world, contributed their valuable life experiences and advice to children and adolescents. This book is a collection of priceless life lessons shared by random people, each of whom wished they could reach out to their twelve-year-old self and whisper their precious lessons in a way that their younger self would hear, believe, and learn.

Austin, Jerome Berglund, Mike Bowerbank, RocĂ­o del Mar, Holly Dobbie, Hannah Downey, Glenna Gill, Ilya Gutlin, Claude Inkwell, Althea Hogsett, Karen Hoffman, Margaret Lindsay Holton, Roberta Beach Jacobson, Heather Lynn, IA McCleery, Kelly Miller, Sallie Moffitt, Danielle Moody, Natasha Morningstarr, Chris Palmore, Diane Riley, Nina Romano, Gloria Worley Ruberry, Edward Selender, Claire Sheehy, Leif E.
