Woohoo!!! 🎉 Big congratulations on book baby number eight. Octuplets! I feel like I have semi given birth to my first book baby, my debut poetry collection, Beautiful Late Bloomer—because it is available only on Amazon. I’m still waiting for the approval on Ingram Spark. Self-publishing, first timer, learning the ropes; everything is taking longer than I had anticipated. There are so many moving parts, but I am persistent and determined. A lot of my people don’t want to buy from Amazon so I have to wait now until the Ingram process is finished and then I can fully launch & tell them where they can get my book on Bookshop.org, indie bookstores, and Barnes & Noble. Part of me wishes I had a mentor to help with all this, but I have MANY more books to come so I wanted to empower myself. And I am doing it. (pats self on back) High five 🙌 to YOU! And you absolutely deserve to relax and just enjoy your achievement. Give yourself some time to just float for a while….
So happy to read this. Theirs a very particular sense of satisfaction for putting your book out this way. I’m taking heart from your message that good things happen when you slow down.
Publication Day! Celebrate! 🎉 (To be sung Cool and the Gang stylee). 🎤🎶 And yes I know it doesn't scan, but you get my drift. Congratulations Emma! I will be adding this to my 'must read' list. 📖
downloaded your book, Emma. Looks like we have some overlap….taking it easy, doing nothing for a while and focus on the essential….. which I promote through my Un-Rushing, trying to flip the hurry culture.
Congratulations on your publishing day! Always a wonderful day of birthing your art into the world. I eagerly look forward to sitting down with a cup of coffee and drinking in your words as well. May continued success, artistry and peace be yours!

Bravo! I’ve just gobbled it up in one sitting. Exactly what this fellow fallower, if you will, needed as my own year of nothing comes to an end

Hi, will this book be available on Audible? I'm more of a listener rather than reader in bed.
Congratulations! So brave to publish yourself.
Ah thank you! :)
Congratulations! I can't wait to read it.
Thank you Kelly!
So wonderful to follow your journey with this project. Paving the way for a new era of publishing perhaps? Congratulations Emma 💛
Congratulations! I'm looking forward to reading it. May your celebration with friends bring more huge desserts and (maybe) some tears!
Thank you so much!
Congrats!! Will there be an audiobook? This is the type of book I love to listen to.
This is in the works :) just trying to figure out the best way to do it :) thank you for the lovely message!

congratulations!!! This whole journey, doing it on your own, free, owning it, birthing and spreading it -- sounds absolutely amazing and admirable.
Thank you so much. It's been a real adventure. I so appreciate this comment! Thanks Claudia.

Congrats! Quick heads up, it still says “preorder” on the webpage.

Thank you so much xxx
Congratulations! Feels like a long time since that Whitefox evening with Molly Flatt. I think you've earned a rest!
Love this so much and congrats! I particularly love this:
‘It has succeeded simply because it exists, and people will discover it in their own time if they want to.’
The ethos we all need this year - on substack and beyond! 😍
Ah thanks so much Becs! Agreed!
