Today the book I have been working on since 2019 finally gets published. For the last couple of years, I have put undue (and unhealthy) pressure on myself about this book’s release. I have thought things along the lines of “This will make or break my career” and “Dear God, please let this be a hit! Please!! PLEASE!” I’ve mentally taken notes on other people’s book releases and what markers I want to see for my own. Will I hit any lists? Will I get written up in major publications? Will celebrities share a photo of themselves holding
Allison, your writing is always such a gift. After interviewing you for Hey Alma, I can also say that speaking to you is a gift. I know that this book is going to be phenomenal, pertinent, and (dare I say) life-changing for people like me, who struggle with mental illness, but who want to be loved like anyone else. Your words are powerful and I am so excited to read more of them :)
I love the book Allison, you're an incredible writer and I so appreciate your self-reflexivity. You're so good at contextualizing your writing and situating yourself within it. ❤
