My name is Miguel Coppedge. I am a bestselling published author of 3 books, “The Adventures
of FireMan”, “The Adventures of FireMan and The Case of The Stinger, and “Friendly
Officers” which I published by the age of 10 and became a filmmaker, speaker, philanthropist,
and app developer. I wrote my first book at the age of 8 because I had finished reading all of
the books in my room. I gave the book to my mom. However, she didn’t read it until 3 months
later when her friend told her that her book was published. My mom told her friend I wrote a
book. She read it and sent it to her friend. Her friend loved it and suggested my mom send it to
her publisher. My mom did as her friend suggested and the publisher loved it! We did a
Gofundme to raise the money to publish my book. October 13, 2015 I became a published
author. I just wrote the book out of boredom. I never thought I would become a published
author.
Becoming a published author has been an awesome journey and a blessing. I’ve been on the
news a few times promoting my books. I’ve done tons of vending events. I’ve been in several
newspapers and online and physical magazine publications. I’ve been on numerous live
podcasts and internet radio shows and I’ve received numerous awards for my achievements. I
visit schools, clubs and childcare centers and read my books and I give motivational speeches. I
developed an app called “miguelstorybook” on Google Play Store where kids can download
and read my books for free and my books are also in DC Public Library’s Children’s
Department.
