LAUNCHING!
Over the past two years, I have been penning words and putting together my memoir – Stalked by Demons | Guarded by Angels: The Girl with the Eating Disorder. Click the link for a sneak preview!
I AM NOW AT THE SCARY END OF THE PROCESS
I never thought I’d say this, but writing the memoir was the easy bit. For a long time, I felt I wouldn’t publish but then I received feedback like…
A somewhat harrowing, rollercoaster read. This is a no-holds-barred memoir and Simone has been brave. It’s a gripping opening emotionally. Very succinct and descriptive. The imagery is evocative.
Your writing is superlative!
Incredibly believable, totally vulnerable and I would suspect, relatable to those who suffer from similar afflictions.
Your writing style makes this such an engaging read.
Poignant themes of grief, hope and recovery may be relatable to anyone going through similar experiences.
BLOODY WELL DONE, Simone. You are a star. A superstar.
So with that kind of response, I was inspired to publish.
A little part of me believes my book was meant to be shared with the world, so to that end, I have decided to do a presales crowdfunding campaign through publishizer. All presale funds go towards the publishing costs. As publishizer is associated with a great many publishers, if the campaign is successful enough I will hook myself up with a publisher and see how it goes from there.
NOW YOU, MY DEAR FRIEND, ARE THE OPPORTUNITY I NEED
By purchasing a presales copy you will assist me in establishing the funds to publish the book and also demonstrate to publishers there is sufficient interest in my memoir. And why wouldn’t there be?! My story is interesting but not unique – women (and men) everywhere are subject to issues of body image and comfort eating. And mental health struggles are becoming a global phenomenon these days. A lot of us don’t know how to look after ourselves.
So, if you’re not already on my email list, I would encourage you to sign up for presales information and over the next week, I will launch the campaign and let you know all the details! This book might change your life.
What have you got to lose folks?!
