How it Feels to me is OUT NOW!
If you’ve been waiting to order I now have 200 books in hand.
Hardcovers come with signed bookplates, bookmarks, and stickers (until I run out!)
I’m taking a break from packing books to write a quick update.
So much is happening so quickly!!!
Our hardcover shipment arrived last Friday. Because the last batch had quality control issues I opened each book to check for misprints as I shelved them. It made for a cool video and this print run had no mistakes!
After unpacking all of these books it is finally feeling real.
The book is DONE.
Monday was a holiday, so our official launch day was Tuesday, October 13. I’ve been shipping out books every day this week and only have 20 preorders left to go. 🥳
DREAMING BIG
We also sent a copy in to Reading Rainbow’s open casting call.
Is this real life?
NOW IN BOOKSHOPS!
NW Arkansas local can now find How it Feels to Me at two awesome bookshops in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
We’re in DAD SUGGESTS BOOKS which has a life size hobbit hole.
And we’re also stocked at PEARLS BOOKS who has a giant luck dragon (!) in their picture book section.
We have so many incredible bookshops in our area. I’ll be pitching the rest soon.
If you’d like to request How it Feels to Me at your local bookstore, library, or school to stock our book – send them here for a 40% discount.
FAQ
We also wrote up an official FAQ this week to answer some of the questions we’ve been getting.
Our #1 Question has been, “Do you ship to my country?”
And the answer is: Yes! Paperbacks are available globally.
Hardcovers print and ship from the US & UK.
If you’d like a custom shipping quote for your country please request one.

BEHIND THE SCENES
If you’re curious about the self publishing process I’ll be sharing some behind-the-scenes on Patreon next week.
And Gracie wrote a beautiful post about the illustration process. Check it out!
RAINBOW ZINES
I also finished assembling the rainbow zines. If you’d like to buy one let me know.
REMEMBER TO VOTE
I also made an mini VOTE zine for October. Please remember to vote!
Midterm elections are very important.
That’s all for this week!
Huge thanks to everyone who preordered, shared our posts, and helped us bring this project to life.
If you joined the launch team I’ll be sending an email next week about final steps to help us out. My hands have been a little full this week. 🦋
Cheers,
