Dear Podcast Host,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Dr. John Chanaca, and I am the founder of MJChanacapublishing LLC, a family publishing company where we focus on creating heartwarming, educational stories that emphasize positive family values and parenting aids. As the author of several children's books, including *The Keymaker*, *Annie's Flutterflies*, *Color Your Own Story Books*, and the *Humor & Heart* collection which was the Silver Medalist in the Global Book Awards 2024. I have dedicated my career to inspiring and educating young readers and parents.

My experience extends to my role as a Licensed Professional Family Counselor since 1985, where I have helped countless families and individuals navigate life's challenges. Because of this, I have recently published, "A Survival Guide for Parents, Nurturing Super Students in a Modern World Part 1." Part 2 Nurturing Successful Students in the Modern World : Raising Successful Students: Six Key Strategies for Parents is just about finished and will be released soon on Amazon. Both books could add value to your parenting community. Also, Jane and I are the parents of two wonderful sons who have grown children.

With over 42 years of experience in teaching and counseling within elementary public schools in Pennsylvania and South Carolina, as well as holding a Doctorate in Education with a focus on curriculum and instruction, I bring a unique perspective to the table. My journey has also taken me abroad as a Fulbright Memorial Fund Scholar to study the educational system in Japan, where I found inspiration for my *Super Student Program*. This program, along with the award-winning *Peer Pals* initiative which I co-authored, reflects my deep commitment to improving parental involvement, student achievement and behavior.

I enjoyed listening to some of your podcasts and I would be honored to share my experiences, insights, and the journey behind my experiences, books and publishing company with your audience. My background in education, parenting, counseling, and storytelling can offer valuable perspectives to your listeners, especially those interested in the intersection of children's literature and educational/personal development.

It’s been an incredible twelve months since Jane and I embarked on our journey with MJChanacapublishing. With the public’s unwavering support, we’ve achieved a remarkable milestone of producing ten books during this past 2 years. Among these, five belong to our Family Values Series, and five to our Super Student Series (with two more ready for publication). We’re thrilled to share that each of these books is available in ebook, paperback, hardcover, and audio formats. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of you for not only listening to our ideas but also for assisting us in crafting wholesome and captivating books for children and their parents. 
This project began during the challenging COVID period when we found ourselves confined to our homes, often with the wonderful presence of my wife, Jane’s mom, Clara Gredlein, who is an impressive 95-year-old. Many of you have inquired about the inspiration behind our project, asking why we chose to embark on this journey. The answer is simple: we were fueled by a burning desire to share the enchanting stories and incredible adventures we’ve had with our children and grandchildren, especially the unforgettable moments involving various pets in both exciting and humorous situations. We had the time and resources to learn the intricacies of book production, and we were determined to create books that not only radiated wholesomeness and beauty but also instilled ethical and moral values, reflecting our faith in God and the blessings we’ve received. This endeavor has demanded extensive research, countless discussions, and the unwavering support of our families, friends, and many of you. We embarked on this journey with no prior knowledge of ISBNs, illustrators, email lists, KDP, Amazon, websites, Facebook, Instagram, or the various software tools necessary for book production. Our learning journey continues, and we’re grateful for your patience and support every step of the way.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your podcast and engaging with your audience. I am confident I can add value for your viewers/listeners as they enjoy the content you deliver.
