Hello everyone!

The Connection contest through Publishizer has officially closed, and unfortunately, I was not victorious.

Obviously, I would have loved to come in at #1, but I’m still walking away from this round feeling incredibly grateful.

This second run of the campaign brought in more pre-orders, more support, and more reminders that this book really does have people waiting for it. And for that, I cannot thank you enough.

You’ve helped bring me another step closer to making Becoming Myself a reality.

While the contest itself has ended, I’m going to leave pre-orders open until Monday, 7 September for anyone who still wants to secure their advanced copy. Use this link to order: https://pszr.co/nqXSD

By placing your order, you’re not only supporting the book. You’re helping me gain visibility with publishers, while also helping fund the option to self-publish if the book isn’t picked up by a publisher.

One way or another, this book will come out.

And your support is helping make that possible.

For those of you who have already pre-ordered, thank you. Truly. Keep an eye on your inbox for updates, the cover reveal, sample chapters, and more as the book continues taking shape.

I’ve been learning so much through this process. Not just about publishing, but about what it actually takes to finish a book, refine it, prepare it for readers, and keep believing in it through all the messy middle bits.

Turns out, writing a book is not just “write the thing and send it into the world.”

Rude. 😂

But I’m in it. I’m committed. And I’m so excited to keep bringing Becoming Myself to life.

Thank you for every pre-order, every share, every encouraging message, and every bit of belief you’ve poured into this project.

It means more than I can probably say without getting weirdly emotional in your inbox.

Keep living radically, and I’ll chat to you soon.

Jamie
