A big dream, a small ask
|
Hi friends, This weekend I’ve been reflecting on something wild: 600 of you have already pre-ordered Toxic Grit. I felt so behind when I sent the last email and now it feels like the movement is starting to happen. That’s 600 people saying yes to a book about rewriting ambition, balance, and what it means to make space for all the characters inside of us vying for screen time in the movie of your life. For that, I am beyond grateful. But here’s the bigger dream: Not because of ego, or even just this book. But because every copy preordered sends a signal to publishers: these ideas matter, we want more of them in the world. And if this book does well, it opens the door for me to write the next one. In a world losing context, nuance and empathy from divisive and click-bait headlines on social media....I believe books are the pathway back to deeper understanding and compassion. A little behind the scenes: I’ve put every dollar of my small advance back into marketing this book. Like most authors, I won’t make money on this. But if it succeeds, I’ll hopefully have the opportunity to write the next one. So here’s my ask:​
$27.99 for hardcover, $12.99 for ebook. And every single order truly moves the needle. I’ve included the full table of contents below so you can peek inside. And if you order now and submit your order receipt, you will get the full digital workbook and exclusive bonus chapter! Just drop your order # at toxicgrit.com​ Thank you for being with me on this journey. It’s scary and vulnerable to put this much of myself on the page, but I believe this book is going to spark the kinds of conversations (and give practical tools) we all need more of. And early readers agree... With so much gratitude, PS. Penny says the book is paws-atively worth it! |
