In Times of Crisis, We Write. Here’s Something You Need
I’m not even gon hold you. I had no clue I’d be living in a dystopian nightmare in my lifetime.
Growing up reading history in class and being all “Dang, that really sucks. How’d they make it through?” Meanwhile, I was reading premonitions and I didn’t even have a clue. I was so young and full of optimism! 😩
CUZ WHY I GOTTA BE ALIVE DURING THE EMPIRE’S CRUMBLE?!? 😭😡
Maybe it is to bear witness. To hold the light. To remind people that we are here to design the world we want. To fight for everything good. To tell stories. To create.
We are not powerless. And in fact, this moment of extreme strife feels urgent that we deepen our purpose work. It feels like we cannot afford to say “Later.”
My matron saint of words, Toni Morrison said it best:
“This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we WRITE, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.“
When artists go to work, civilizations heal. ← If you’re feeling powerless, let that sink in.
This summer, I’m taking a two month sabbatical. The first I’ve ever done. To find REST. To prioritize JOY. But most importantly… TO WRITE.
I’m gonna be working on my next book in between my frolicking this summer. A book that I went away for 7 days last September to plan out and I finished the proposal and got my next deal. A book that will really talk about the process of BECOMING who we have been placed here to be.
Sooo before I start my sabbatical, I want to leave y’all an opportunity to start getting the words that have been sitting on your chest, waking you up at night, on paper.
Many of you have thought about writing a book before, but you’ve been stuck and not sure what to do. Some of you have even started looking for agents.
Well… do you have a book proposal? You need one so…
Special Invite for You
💛 If you’ve been feeling a quiet pull in your heart to create…
💛 If you’ve been dreaming of writing a book “one day”…
💛 If you wanna get that book deal… I want this Summer to be the summer you finally start.
You gotta start with a Book Proposal.
A book proposal is your roadmap, your clarity, your strategy. It is foundational to a book coming to be.
It’s how you turn that burning message in your heart into something publishers will pay you for.
For the first time EVER, I’m bringing a resource to my full audience that’s usually only offered within The Book Academy.
Introducing… The Complete Book Proposal Guide
This resource has everything you need to write a proposal that sells your book! It’s the same framework I’ve used for my bestselling books. The same one that got me my biggest deal yet in just one week and that has helped many of my TBA students get six-figure deals while creating massive impact. 💰🫶🏾
Because when the world is falling apart, we don’t stay quiet.
→ We speak. We write. We bear witness. ✊🏾
What story do you feel called to share with the world right now? Let us know! 💌
P.S. This is the ONLY time this year I’m offering this outside of The Book Academy and it’s only going to be available until Sunday, June 22.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start your book, this is it. 🗣
