One of our own @Leslie Barber became a published author yesterday On Amazon #2Bestseller This is a replay of yesterday's writer circle. The interview with Leslie begins around min 15.

Celebrating the major win of one our our community members, Leslie Barber. Publishing a book is not for the faint of heart. Well done. The BIG day is finally here.... She has waited 29 years to get this book out into the world.... https://www.elsiepress.com/ I just ordered my copy... what about you

My name is Sabine, and I’m from Germany and Cyprus. I’ve finally decided to start writing and finish the book that’s been on my mind for ages. It’s a mix of my story and what I’ve learnt from it – and am still learning – and the realisation that I need to share this with the world to show just how powerful we are. And that, if we face up to our history, we can completely rewrite it, including that of our ancestors and all the generations to come. I combine this with my marathon training and with my business and life as an entrepreneur. I am looking forward to working with you here ; )

This group has been such an inspiring space for writers, creators, and future authors, so I’m excited to finally share this with you… My new book, The Expectant Author: A Trimester-by-Trimester Guide to Writing and Delivering the Book Inside You, is now available for preorder on Amazon I wrote this book for the people who know they have a message inside them—but need encouragement, structure, and belief in the process of bringing it to life. Because writing a book isn’t just about publishing… It’s about: ✔ Finding your voice ✔ Trusting your ideas ✔ Showing up consistently ✔ And finally giving your message a place to live If you’ve ever thought: “I know I should write a book someday…” This book is for you 💛 Preorder here: https://amzn.to/4njNxXl PS: Everyone who orders the book will also receive a complimentary copy of The Expectant Author Workbook—the companion guide filled with prompts, exercises, and worksheets designed to help bring your book to life. And truly, thank you to everyone in communities like this who continue to inspire people to write, create, and share their stories. And to all the incredible authors in this community who have written, published, or are in the process of bringing your books to life, my deepest admiration. Writing a book is no small thing. It’s a journey of courage, commitment, growth, and heart… and one absolutely worth taking and celebrating. PPS., A special thank you to @Sierra Melcher for your encouragement and the endorsement you gave The Expectant Author. I appreciate you!
