Today we’d like to introduce you to Vanity Scott
Hi Vanity, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I am a children’s book author and owner of Emherge Press, a boutique publishing company that specializes in children’s books that focus on social emotional learning, self-discovery, and community. I have been a writer since I was a little girl, and I first self-published in 2020 with my debut children’s book, A Girl and Her Grandpa.
When I started my journey as a published author, I was turning my grief into purpose. I wrote my first book, A Girl and Her Grandpa, in dedication of my late grandfather. Since then, I have dedicated my journey to learning as much as I can about being an author and business owner. I have immersed myself in the social emotional learning world for children, and each of my children’s books have elements of it in each. I plan to continue this journey to help children identify, regulate, and celebrate their emotions through self-discovery and community.
I am so proud of my 6 published children’s books- Jumping Beanie & The Mustard Seed, A Girl and Her Grandma, A Boy and His Grandma, A Girl and Her Grandpa, A Boy and His Grandpa, and A Crown Like Mine, all of which are available on Amazon!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road has been blessed, but not without challenges. I have combatted imposter syndrome, rejection, anxiety, and more. I have had to overcome comparison in every season and my faith has been tested. I don’t think big dreams come without challenges on the way. I truly believe that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and I have learned something new from each challenge that has helped me in my journey.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a 6x children’s book author that creates stories that focus on social emotional learning, self-discovery, and community. I own Emherge Press, my publishing company that I publish my books through as well as provide 1:1 consultations for aspiring children’s book authors.
As I fully immerse myself in the social emotional learning space, I am most proud that I create children’s books not only for kids, but the kid inside of all us. These stories have spoken deeply to multiple age groups and that is very special to me.
I also have a passion for helping aspiring children’s book authors get their book ideas out of their minds and to the people that need them. Through my 1:1 consultations, I help them build a plan that will get their projects across the finish line.
Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
Growing up, I was a kid who loved to read and write. I was shy and quiet, but my imagination and determination soared. Something that I admire about my younger self is that I constantly pushed myself out of my comfort zone, even if I was scared to do it. While I loved reading and writing stories, I also pushed myself to act, sing, and dance as a young girl. This desire to try new things, even while being nervous to do so, is something that has deeply aided me in my life journey,
