Fundraising Book The Under Tree Folk; Anita Newton

The Under Tree Folk by Anita Newton

The book is being sold to raise money for MNDA to try to help all those who are affected by this disease whether you are a sufferer, and carer or a family member.

I started writing after the passing of my husband Craig from motor neurone disease in 2022. The stories came about because Craig used to tell me stories at night when I couldn't sleep. After Craig's passing I started making up my own stories. These stories were inspired by a visit to one of England's oldest trees. It was enormous, with huge sprawling roots. I began to imagine small people living amongst the roots and the idea of the Under Tree folk was born. Since then I have written many stories about their life and adventures. Some of the proceeds for the sale of this book will go to the motor neurone disease association to further research into this cruel disease.

The link to the book is below. You can buy the book at several places - just google it and it will appear. It also has its own facebook page.

Hi Anita,

I came across The Under Tree Folk, and I was immediately drawn to the idea of a hidden world living beneath the roots of the Great Oak. The thought of discovering the different characters, their lives, and the adventures taking place beneath one of England’s oldest trees gives children a wonderful invitation to use their imagination.

I was also touched by how the stories began. The idea grew from the stories your husband Craig used to tell you, eventually becoming a world of your own after his passing. Your experience as a teacher also gives The Under Tree Folk a natural connection with families and educators, while the contribution from sales toward motor neurone disease research adds another meaningful dimension to the book.

That’s where I’d like to help. My team at Bookwave Promotions works with authors to extend the visibility of their published books through targeted external outreach, helping bring individual books to more readers beyond their existing channels.

For The Under Tree Folk, I would particularly look at:

Children’s book reviewers, parenting blogs, teachers, librarians, and storytelling platforms interested in imaginative adventures, nature, woodland settings, and books that encourage children’s creativity

Schools, libraries, children’s book clubs, family communities, and podcasts focused on storytelling, imagination, nature, and meaningful children’s books with a personal story behind them

If you’d like to see what I have in mind for The Under Tree Folk, simply reply “yes” and I’ll send you the specific outreach approach and next steps.

Warm regards,
Valerie Brown
