Hello Everyone, I am new here. Hope I am welcome here?

Since finishing my manuscript in August/September, about three months have passed—and now the book is finally scheduled to release on Amazon this weekend. I’m actively learning what it takes to get a book into the world. I had a small ARC group of about a dozen readers, and I’m hoping a few of them will leave early reviews. - If you’re at a similar stage in your publishing journey, feel free to reach out. I’d love to learn from each other and share what’s working. - If you’re interested in reading the book, I’m happy to send it your way—and I’d be grateful if you’re open to leaving a review as well. - Here is the back cover description of my book: Have you ever felt like you were running from a past you could never escape? For years, Xiaorong Deng carried the weight of a life defined by loss: her mother’s suicide, her stepmother’s rejection, and the guilt of not being by her father’s side in his final days. To survive, she buried her story, convinced she was not good enough, and unworthy of belonging. But when she became a mother, she knew she had to face the past—or risk passing her wounds onto her daughter. I AM GOOD is a vulnerable and hopeful memoir about the brave journey to reclaim the girl within and find the way home. It is a story that will help you feel seen in your own struggles, find the courage to confront your past, quiet your inner critic, and finally heal your core relationships to create a legacy of love. If you have ever struggled to find your worth, this book will remind you of a powerful truth: you are, and always have been, good.

✅ Just hit #1 Best Seller in Strategic Management! 🎉 Hello Orange badge! 🧡 I used one important strategy from @Julie Broad’s book to do it. Something I’ve asked about here before. Any guesses as to which one it was???

Hey fellow authors, I finally finished my memoir last week—what a journey it has been! My book, I AM GOOD: A Mother’s Journey to Love and Self-Worth, tells the story of how unexpected motherhood forced me to confront the shadows of my past. In learning to be a mother, I discovered how to mother myself. It’s about breaking generational cycles, finding love in unexpected places, and embracing the unshakable truth that we are all worthy of love and belonging. As a life coach, my hope is that this book not only resonates with readers but also supports the work I do—helping women step into their worth and create the lives they long for. I’ve been soaking up Julie’s YouTube videos and audiobook, and they’ve been such a guiding light. Thank you, Julie! Here I am now, stepping into the next chapter—author marketing.

Partnering with a friend and colleague of over 40 years, I am thrilled to share that our book https://www.amazon.com/Neurodiversity-Connection-Educators-Understanding-Neurotypes/dp/B0FLWR1NH9/ref=sr_1_1? has been #1 in new releases in the inclusive education category for the past two weeks. I can't say enough about Book Launchers and the support they provided in this two year journey. We especially love our cover and have gotten sooooo many positive comments on it. Currently we have 14 5 star reviews. Our goal is to get this book in to the hands of teachers all around the world. We have learned so much and are now learning how to market through the Author Launch Kit! Yay for lifelong learning!
