as someone who works in book marketing sometimes (aka a freelancer), I have a special place for debut authors and authors who are translated to our market for the first time. they are always a bit anxious, but super kind and excited and interactive with the bts book people. one foreign author even DMd our social team to let us know how happy she was when her debut book went viral here and suddenly all her tags were in another language. she was very sweet and engaging with those readers as well.
Comforting (I guess?) to know that others also think that niceness might be a huge, elaborate prank. I'm waiting for my husband (of almost 20 years, with whom I have two kids) to turn to me one day and say, "Gotcha!"
Are you saying that you weren't fulfilled by writing blogs for plumbers, HVAC, and free lunch Fridays? I'm so happy that I stumbled upon your AI-free post the other day and am now following you – and although I'm a year late, CONGRATS on your book deal!

Oh man yep, this is 100% how it goes. But seriously, it's a huge accomplishment, and well done to your year ago self and your now self! And now I'm going to go eat peaches and watch Cool Runnings.
Can confirm, book fantastic, do buy
Ps SMOOCH ❤️❤️

Can corroborate these seven things! (Oh maybe I should clarify since The Keeper wasn’t my first book, but my first with agent, big 5, etc)

Thank you for validating 💛 I’ve never actually see Cool Runnings, so let me know if I should!
