The Glass Cliff x Black and Beech IWD Giveaway 💫
WIN a signed copy of The Glass Cliff, and £200 of Black and Beech goodies!
As March, and IWD rolls around, I’m 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.
Everyone’s 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 I’m nervous would be an understatement, but, I’m channeling that nervous energy into a giveaway - which is for the best for all of us!
𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗭𝗘⠀
1 winner will get:
1x hardback copy of The Glass Cliff, signed by the author
1x £200 gift token from Black and Beech
3 runners up will get:
1x hardback copy of The Glass Cliff each.
To enter the competition to win the ultimate feminist bundle of a signed copy of The Glass Cliff - Why Women in Power are Undermined and How to Fight Back, and a £200 Black and Beech voucher, click here (you will be redirected to Instagram).
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, you’re also in luck - we’re starting the celebrations early with a Glass Cliff playlist. Channel your inner BizNiz woman as you plot your next move, and remember - ain’t nothing goin’ 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. It’s very real, and very scary for authors because it’s 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 you’re 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, I’ll leave you with Alex the parrot’s last words
‘You be good, see you tomorrow. I love you’
