Pre-Launch Anticipation

Journal Entry 17

October 10, 2026. I’m learning a lot about the business side of publishing, from marketing strategies to distribution logistics. It’s a new world for me, but I’m grateful for the support of the publisher and my agent, who are guiding me through this process.

One of the most exciting parts is planning the book launch event. It’s an opportunity to celebrate this journey with friends, family, and readers. I’m looking forward to sharing my story and connecting with people who have supported me along the way.

There’s also a sense of vulnerability as the publication date approaches. Soon, my novel will be out in the world, open to praise and critique alike. It’s a reminder of the courage it takes to share your work with others and the resilience needed to face whatever comes next.

For now, I’m embracing the excitement and preparing for this new chapter. The journey to publication has been long and challenging, but it’s also been deeply rewarding. I’m ready to share my story with the world and see where this path leads.
