You may know, but you may not. I have some BIG news.

Ready? 📢 

I'm writing a book!

Say whaaaat? (That's my own response, in my own mind, in case you're wondering. Because I kind of can't believe it myself.)

I'm part of an awesome online writer's group called hope*writers, and this year I'm doing a writers' “mastermind” with them. One benefit is getting an in-person, curated meeting with publishers in October. So this girl is submitting and then pitching a book  📖 proposal in 6 short weeks!

The book is tentatively called Hold the Phone: you Don't Have to Ditch your Cell to Live a Life of Presence, and it sits squarely in the “cell and soul” space (my passion - but you already know that!). It's about how our cell 📱 habits are impacting our souls, and how using our phones intentionally can help our souls thrive. It's humbling to think my words could help folks find direction and freedom - and I'm praying they will.

It's been so fun to craft my proposal, conduct interviews, start getting traction. I'm excited… and nervous!  😬 

Here's where you come in.

Publishers care about things like audience size, numbers, engagement. They really care about that stuff.

So if you like what you read here or have benefitted from my writing, phone challenges, or posts - would you consider forwarding this email to someone and asking them to consider subscribing? (They can subscribe here.) That would mean soooo much to me!

Other things you (or your people) could do that would really help are:

  *follow me on Instagram

  *follow my Facebook author page

  *share any of my blog posts (or any of my stuff, including emails) when something resonates

These types of things could make a difference in the publishers' considering signing me.

Thanks much for being here, and for the ways you have supported me already! I couldn't do what I do without you.

Gratefully,

Susan
