Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

I am soooooo thrilled by the outpouring of support I have received! Yesterday was the last day of my crowd-publishing campaign (and my 30th birthday) and I pre-sold a total of 302 copies of Generation Nanny. Happy. Birthday. To. Me!

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!!!!!

I can't wait to get your copy/ies in your hands. 

But first, publishing. 

The next steps in this process will be interesting as I am (clearly) a first-time author. I am already being pitched by the Publishizer team to a publisher today (!!!), and have lots of homework to do as I learn more about the other 10+ publishers who have expressed interest in my book (so far!). I am excited to get my manuscript evaluated, apply the appropriate edits and revisions, and curate a finalized product. My personal deadline is to do this by June but with a publisher in charge, my "deadline" might look a bit different. I am hopeful you will all have your copy/ies by the fall (I know, that's a vague and undefined time of year for some) or, because I am an optimist, hopefully you'll have yours by the end of the summer!

With that said, thank you for your patience as you await your copy/ies of Generation Nanny! Keep following me on Instagram and Facebook for some updates as I progress forward.

I'll be real, this is kind of scary. 

I have read a number of memoirs - Lena Dunham’s Not that Kind of Girl, Wild by Cheryl Strayed, and most recently Michelle Obama’s book, Becoming (+many more). From these, I have learned that transparency is a vital ingredient when you read someone’s story.

So, transparent I will be.

You've all purchased a piece of my life story; sprinkled with raw and unfiltered emotions, this book is 100% real AB (Audrey Brazeel). So naturally, a part of me is terrified by the idea of putting myself out there, and the other part is telling me to jump without fear. With that, thank you in advance for all your open-minded attitudes and open hearts as I bear my most authentic self to the world... and thank you for accepting me for me :-)

Again, thank you for being a part of this journey with me. I can't wait to see what’s coming next. I'll be in touch!

Love,

Audrey
