One week until publication day
Week four of weekly giveaways, and a heartfelt thank you to the writing community
I’m not crying, you’re crying
Only one week to go! (Please pretend I posted this yesterday, when I planned to).
This impending milestone is getting me sentimental, and I want to say thank you to the amazing creators in the writing community (including the PB Workshop Discord server). It’s honestly impossible to imagine my path to publication without the encouragement, collaboration, and friendship of so many wonderful creators who I first connected with online. If I had never connected with critique partners through KidLit411, engaged in pitch events on Twitter, and commiserated over querying with writing friends on Discord, there’s no question I would’ve given up long before becoming published. Some of my closest friends are writers, and I’m extremely lucky to have them in my life. Thank you all 🙏.
🎁 The giveaway?
In that spirit, for this final week of the “Four Weeks of Jake-mas” giveaways, I’ll randomly pick one PB Workshop member to receive a signed copy of When Santa Wrote Back!
🚀 How to take part
Join the PB Workshop Discord (link), or just keep on being one of the wonderful active community members if you’re already there.
That’s it. I’ll randomly pick from community members who pop in this week.
What’s next
Over the next week I’ll be keeping an eye out for any online activity about our book (SLJ posted a nice review yesterday), working with Sourcebooks to organize some author events and interviews, and popping into my local indie (Biblioasis Bookshop) to sign preorders when they arrive.
Thank you for every library request, preorder, and share these past weeks. Your support means a lot to me.
Nathan
Can’t wait!! 🎄
