Hello! My name is Adri, and I'm the Author of the book Anima:The Legend of Cosmo.☀️📚📖

I've been thinking about it for a long time, when I first started out, it was so so hard. It seemed like nothing in the world would allow me to share your story, to finally fulfill that desire of reaching out to other people and make them happy with my creations.

All these ideas, all the love poured into it, and yet, I was stuck there at a mere 70 views and 4 stars. 
I know how it feels, and I swear even just a star can make the difference between continuing, and quitting. And besides, stars and views help with the algorithm... 

What personally drives me forward, is the support from my readers, their comments, their engagement, their love for my story, my world, my characters. That is what allows me to continue, to keep creating. 🌱

I didn't have someone helping me out, I didn't have that helping hand in the beginning, and people commented just to criticize and tell me my stories weren't good enough. This isn't my first book, but it sure is one of my most successful. 

Well, I've decided new writers🌱, new stories🌱

 deserve to be nurtured, to be cultivated, to be given a chance Therefore I've decidedbe creating a spotlight book in which I will, as the title Says, spotlight new creators and underrated books all together!

I want to see them created🌱
I want to see them grow🌿
I want to see them appreciated🌳
And finally,
 I want to see them bloom into the masterpiece I know they can be. 🌸✨

 The rules are very simple and the first place of these awards will win a custom drawing made by me of a character of your book! You can then put it in your book or just keep it as a trophy! 🥰✨

Let's do this togeheter, it is in unity that we can make our stories thrive, we can reach greatness together, we can bloom into the best version of ourselves. 

Give the Spotlight book a read, see the rules and awards, and let every writer have a special place where t

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

What can Riri do if Riri who also fell in love with Muliani at first sight, thinks that Muliani doesn't want her? I made a plot and others at the end of 1999, then I wrote this manuscript since 2020. I posted it on one of novel platforms, hope that it would have better plagiarism protection than Wattpad. Originality is very important to me, but not everyone understands the difference inspiration and plagiarism. From the awareness of widely open plagiarism possibility, it wake up the desire to meet a wider audience. An audience that understands appreciation better, smarter audience, audience that understands the boundaries between plagiarism and inspiration.... At least... More people read my novel. Any hard work must always be enjoyed. Not only for yourself, but for many people. This formula applies to many things. Including writing. Thanks for read mine
