First week complete ✨

Shout out to the wonderful team at bookouture for the warm welcome!
Definitely back to school vibes after being self-employed for the last couple of years, but it's been so exciting to be surrounded by bookish people again 📚

Do you have a disability/chronic illness? Are you fed up of never seeing yourself in the pages of your favourite books? This is me + this is one of the reasons I’m publishing Alter Ego by Helen Heckety. If you’re an author or a book blogger + you want a limited-edition proof, lmk🩷💛
