Hello everyone,

I wanted to share a quick behind-the-scenes update on Becoming Myself! I’ve officially started Round 1 edits — beginning with the introduction chapter — and I’m working through the feedback I received from ProWritingAid, an AI editing tool, that’s helping me polish the manuscript before sending it to a human editor.

The edits are still very much in progress (nowhere near done yet!), but I’m working on it a little each day with the goal of completing this first round by the end of the month. Once that’s done, I’ll invite a small group of beta readers to review the draft before starting the next round of edits and moving toward professional editing.

Here’s the exciting part — two publishers have already expressed interest in the book through this campaign! Your support is what made that possible, and I’m so grateful.

The campaign runs for 60 days (with just 53 days left!), but the publishing process itself takes time. It’ll likely be 8–10 months before printed copies are ready to ship. I’ll continue sending updates so you can follow along as the journey unfolds.

In the meantime, please keep sharing the campaign link with friends, family, or anyone who might resonate with this story. Every share helps increase visibility and interest from publishers — and the more traction we build here, the greater the chance of making Becoming Myself a reality.

With deep gratitude and love,
Jamie
