Tell An Author You Love Their Book

Recently I blogged about the protestor who showed up at my wedding and why it's important to be visible and share our stories.

Here's the post in case you missed it »

Lots of you responded to the post. Thank you! I love getting feedback from readers because sometimes as a content creator, it feels like I'm writing into a black hole.

So here's a tip for those of you who are readers—which I'm assuming are all of you!  If you read a book you love, post about it on social media and tag the author. Trust me. It doesn't matter how "big" an author they are—they will appreciate the fact that you took the time to reach out.

That book you just read likely took years to create. Years where the writer experienced self-doubt. Where they wondered what they were doing. Where they asked themselves if anyone would even care.

Let them know you care!

This time they're all memoirs by LGBTQ+ writers—it's Pride month, y'all—but straight people can read them too!
