Want to be an advanced reader for my book?

Hi friends,

I’ve had so many of you reach out asking how you can be part of the early journey of my book (title and cover reveal coming soon!), and I’m so grateful. Truly.

My publisher has invited me to select a very small group of advanced readers (just 2–3 women) to read the full manuscript and offer thoughtful feedback on a tight timeline.

I’m specifically looking for busy women/moms who:
• can read fairly quickly
• are willing to offer honest, helpful insight (not just encouragement)
• live the real-life realities this book is written for

Note: editing experience is less importnat than being my ideal audience for this book (busy mom/woman) + being able to provide quick but meaningful feedback.

 

If that sounds like you and you’re interested, I’ve created a short application so I can choose the best fit for this round.

👉 Apply here: https://forms.gle/3AtWvwpAnYEX7vRQA

Deadline: Sunday, February 8th. (I'm sorry it's so quick!) I'll finalize my selections on Monday. 

 

Even if you’re not selected this time, I’ll absolutely keep others in mind for future launch team opportunities and early reader groups. I need all the help I can get!

Thank you for being part of this with me. Your support means more than you know.

With so much gratitude,
Monica

Book Cover and Book Title Reveal!
It's official. My first book has a cover, new title, and is ready for presale. (I can't believe I'm saying that.) Before I share all of the above with you, a quick update is in order.   Editing: Both Harder and Better Than I Thought My last newsletter was from early-February with a request for advanced readers. I was already neck-deep in editing my manuscript, but I had no idea the intensity of...
Good News, Bad News, and New News on the Book Front
Hello! First, I must address the elephant in the room: I’ve promised this newsletter and neglected putting it out for far too long. My apologies! I hate it when influencers tease and tease and never reveal; alas, I can now count myself among them. Turns out, when you’ve been writing and writing and writing to meet a deadline, meet said deadline (thank you, thank you!), then you’re a little tire...
You're looking at an officially signed (and paid) writer for the publishing house . . .  (+ FIRST LOOK at the title!)
Quick note: I decided to shift the Book Launch Committee's content into a newsletter format so you can read past posts, if interested. You can do so HERE.   The last time you heard from me (early-June 2025) I had just gotten off a wild ride. Do you want a quick synopsis? Your wish is my command. I started writing my book on gentle habit formation for women assuming I'd self-publish--an intensiv...
