The Glass Cliff x Black and Beech IWD Giveaway đ«
WIN a signed copy of The Glass Cliff, and ÂŁ200 of Black and Beech goodies!
As March, and IWD rolls around, Iâm finding myself thinking of these words from Toni Morrison more and more often:
She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It's good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind. - Toni Morrison, Beloved.
Everyoneâs doing Book Stuff these days.
As well as being the month of IWD, March also marks the publication of my third book The Glass Cliff - Why Women in Power are Undermined and How to Fight Back, which is now only 7 days away. To say Iâm nervous would be an understatement, but, Iâm channeling that nervous energy into a giveaway - which is for the best for all of us!

You might know Black and Beech from their incredible, ethically made, feminist apparel - their Do No Harm, Take No Shit mantra has made me swoon since I first saw it, and I love that I get to share it with you in this way!
A Glass Cliff playlist
If music is more your love language, youâre also in luck - weâre starting the celebrations early with a Glass Cliff playlist. Channel your inner BizNiz woman as you plot your next move, and remember - ainât nothing goinâ on but the rent.
Pre-orders really do help, annoyingly.
If you follow me on Instagram you will probably have spotted my explainer videos about just how important pre-orders are to authors. Itâs very real, and very scary for authors because itâs so firmly out of our hands.
Week 1 sales (an incredibly important metric in the publishing world) is actually a count of all of the books sold in pre-orders, and then only the first two days of general release sales. This means that pre-orders become the measure that publishers, and booksellers, use to gauge just how much support to offer a book - and can be the difference between a runaway success down the line, and a title that never really finds its audience.
If youâre considering buying The Glass Cliff, this final week of pre-sales would be an incredibly helpful time to click that pre-order button.
Goodbye for now.
As always, Iâll leave you with Alex the parrotâs last words
âYou be good, see you tomorrow. I love youâ
