thoughts on grief: Book updates
It’s crunch time as I finalise edits for thoughts on grief, and move it along the book production process.
Hi all,
I hope you are having a fabulous week so far! It’s been incredibly busy on my end. I am currently reviewing the final edits from Hugh, and comparing it to the first draft, I am confident this version is much stronger and more robust.
If you ever write a book, definitely invest in an editor—even the best editors need a second set of eyes! Authors far more experienced than me recommended that I invest in one, and I am so glad I did. I feel incredibly blessed that God led me to veteran editor Hugh Barker. He is thorough, conscientious, and goes above and beyond to ensure a high-quality product.
My manuscript has gone through a few rounds of drafts now, and it is vastly different from the first version. It has been truly interesting to watch it grow dynamically. Once these final edits are wrapped up, I will be sharing the manuscript with a graphic designer who is handling the formatting, typesetting, and cover design.
I am working towards having pre-orders available around July, so please keep an eye on this newsletter for updates. And stay tuned for the official launch on August 28, 2026!
As a Christian, I always appreciate your prayers for God to continue guiding me through this process and opening the right doors.
Thank you to each of you for reading this newsletter, and let’s continue to amplify my brother’s light! When the book is out, please make sure to grab a copy, leave a review on Amazon, and encourage others to subscribe to this newsletter.
Many thanks for following and reading,
Princess
