A big, heartfelt THANK YOU! to everyone who has already pre-ordered a copy of our forthcoming book, Polar Exposure, and for signing up to follow along on our journey towards publication, as well as for all the super-encouraging comments. There were many moments on the ice full of anxiety and tension but this latest endeavour, to publish our story as a team, is equally nerve-wracking! This makes your generous support even more appreciated and valued.

True to form, we've set ourselves a tough challenge. The book is being written by each team member in her own words with the result that you will hear our story from all perspectives, sometimes reading about the same moment written from two very different points of view - an approach that has produced a book that is incredibly insightful, as well as regularly hilarious!

We are motivated to put our all into this book project by the need for a greater diversity of voices in polar, exploration and adventure literature out there - so please help us amplify our voices by spreading the word about our book. We still need many more pre-orders before we will have access to the publishers who can really help us make a difference with our unique account of an inspiring group of women reaching the top of the world.

Like the fear of spotting (or rather not-spotting) a polar bear in a whiteout, we completely understand that it is good to know what you are getting yourself into in advance! So if you are hesitating to place a pre-order or unlock one of the bonuses on offer please do not hesitate to reach out to me or the team on Facebook, Twitter, here on Publishizer or by email (felicityaston at yahoo.co.uk) to discuss.

We'd be very grateful if you could share our link with your contacts and if you are a member of a book club, society, organisation, company, team or school who would enjoy a talk, casual Q and A or other presentation delivered virtually from a team member, do encourage them to take a look at our bonuses offered in return for bulk pre-orders of 10 or more books...you can trust us to make it a fun and memorable event!

And....if you like stats, we currently have just 14 days left of our pre-order campaign and need another 400 pre-orders to hit our ultimate goal, so lots of work for us to do in the next two weeks! Please do help if you can - Thank You!

With Polar hugs, Felicity (Team Leader, The Women's Euro-Arabian North Pole Expedition
