Little writing from my coworking camp holiday

Hiya hypers,

After I wrote Hype Yourself, I felt there would be more books in my future.

However, my book number three was not necessarily the book I had anticipated launching and was the brainchild of my publisher, Practical Inspiration Publishing.

I always try to share lessons I have learned on my journey, so this is just a reminder.

I won my first book deal from a 10-day book proposal challenge. Here is a link to the next one, and check this article below for everything I know about launching non-fiction books….

My first book, Hype Yourself, has been selected and rejigged for a brand new 6-Minute Smarts series of short coach-yourself titles in November to celebrate my publishers ’s 10-year anniversary.

It is broken down into ten coachable bite-sized chapters for you to do in 6 minutes daily.

There are six books in total in the 6-minute Smarts Series including:

1. Alison Jones of The Extraordinary Business Book Club Substack

- “Write to Think”

2. Marianne Page “Mastering People Management”

3. Jacqui Harper “Present Like a Pro”

4. Lucinda Carney “Do Change Better”

5. Michael Brown “How to be Happy at Work”

And of course my own book “No-Nonsense PR”

Please can you support me with a pre-order?

Pre-orders are so important for authors:

🙋🏻‍♀️ It shows retailers that there is demand for the book and helps to convince them to order in and showcase in online or physical shop windows

🐝Create a groundswell of buzz over launch period that encourages others to buy

📝 A lot of the bestseller lists for books are compiled from the same books but pre-orders count for launch week sales, therefore supporting your favourite author in pre-launch could help them make that list. The ripple effect of which catapults even more sales and helps them for future book deals

Order from Bookshop Org UK

Order from Bookshop Org US

*I have an affiliate list with Bookshop so would make a few extra pennies if you buy from here*

You can also support other independents by purchasing from:

WHSmith

Booktopia

Target

Waterstones

Last but not least, I do like to spread the love (even if I prefer championing the independents). You can order from

Amazon UK or Amazon.com (or check your local Amazon)
