235. Book Release Rituals (+ Ch 1 Exclusive!)

Releasing a book is a big deal, but without a plan for how you’ll celebrate the moment, it’s easy to end up feeling disappointed by the experience.

So today, in honor of With All My Haunted Heart being out now (you can grab your copy here!), I’m sharing 4 categories of release week rituals–along with plenty of examples for each–so you can fully enjoy releasing your book.

As an added bonus, I got permission to share the first chapter of With All My Haunted Heart’s audiobook, so you can get a sneak peek of the book! You can get the audiobook here.
