Hi Claire, if your book is as beautiful, honest and inspiring as this article, it will find a home. And if not, I’ll still enjoy reading your perspective on life via any medium. Xxxx

In a selfish way I needed to hear this today. To be inspired by your bravery and commitment to creativity and your story. To be inspired by your honesty about the complexity and depth of emotion. To remind me of your last post about creating in the face of apparent hopelessness and overwhelm. Truly a battle cry to keep going. Thankyou for sharing your experience so wholeheartedly.

🙏

You are indeed held...

The author of rich dad poor dad shared how he ended up publishing and selling himself after facing alot of rejections (gave his first 12 books to a friend who had a car wash) and one man bought all 12 books at that car wash and believed in its contents so much he helped him get the books in the right hands e.g Oprah, Trump and the rest is history... all from asking his friend to sell his first few prints in a humble car wash!

It WILL happen! Did you receive my list of agents and publishers? I'll ping you today to confirm receipt. Memoir may be hard to sell for many, but you are not them. This WILL be the year you sell your memoir! xoxo
