As much as life and grief are solitary endeavors, they are also collective ones. The same is true for writing and creating. This is where I invite you to journey with me through an opportunity that connects both.
As much as this launch community is for me (because let's be honest, I really need your help sharing Rest: A Journal for Lament with the world), I want this experience and community to be for you, too (for this reason, I have a whole list of launch perks lined up for you).
Full transparency, I don't have a big Publisher or company like Amazon behind me. But I am hoping to have a community who is believes in the helpfulness of this journal. With your support, I hope to share and spread the word about this journal as far and wide as we can together so that we can spread a little hope into the dark, hopeless places in the world (including our own).
