This is so neat to watch unfold - what a dreamy experience. Can’t wait to pick up the book! Looking forward to reading about your publishing experience. I’d also love to learn about how you found your writing group and writing coach - I long for this (friendship and accountability, yes!) but am not sure where to get started. Thanks Emily! ✨

WOW. Reading this and seeing all you've done to make your launch a true event fills me with a nearly equal mixture of admiration and anxiety. But let's focus on the admiration: Enormous kudos to you for leaving no (reasonable) stone unturned in giving your book its best chance out in the world.
