We are publishing a BOOK!
In the spring of 2023 a book idea popped into my head, so I added it to my list of Home Steps ideas. The idea sat there for over a year, lingering as I thought it was too big of an idea to take on or maybe I also needed to believe in myself enough to start.
This past April I attended Academy in the City, I flew nervously to Toronto by myself but instantly made friends with incredible women. We had all bought our tickets without knowing who would be speaking at the conference and to say that the speakers did not disappoint would be an understatement. I left Toronto with so much motivation and inspiration to start taking on my list of Home Steps ideas!
Since then I reached out to Heather Hendrie a local self-published author, we went for lunch and chatted all things book related! I attended a writers retreat that was organized by the Whistler Writers Festival, again I was nervous as I had never done anything like this! The next step was to find a book editor and start all the behind the scenes stuff that goes into writing and publishing a book!
In late July along with announcing that we are publishing a book, I also announced that we are looking for anthology story submissions! Interested in learning more and possibly submitting a story yourself or have a friend who you think might be interested in submitting a story? Find more information below!
While stepping way out of my COMFORT ZONE, the last three months have been filled with research on how to write and publish a book, meeting with people who have already done this and learning as much as I can from them. I can’t wait for the moment when I hold the first printed copy in my hands and share that we have officially published a BOOK!
