Good afternoon!

I hope you're having a great week! As you may have seen on social media, my week has been pretty eventful so far! Yesterday I was surprised with a pass to go to the DNC, so I was able to spend my evening there, where I was not only able to meet new people and listen to some of our elected officials discuss the future the country, but I also got to spend some time with Palestinian protestors and listen/learn from them. I did not do much filming, because I was actively engaged, but I am sure I will share a lot about that experience in the coming days.

HOWEVER, I do have an exciting piece of news I can share RIGHT NOW...

We have officially made an offer on a book!!!

If you are a paid subscriber, this is not coming as a shock to you because I have been talking about this book over there for the last week or so. But for everyone else...I am SOOO EXCITED!

Now, it's important to note that the author has not responded to our offer yet. So nothing is for sure! But I am hopeful! This book checks so many of my boxes and is exactly what I was looking for in a story! And I am so certain that if the author trusts it in our hands, we are going to go so far together!

I am not ready to talk about the story itself publically, obviously, but my paid subscribers do get an inside look. So if you want to hear more about it, here is a post I did recently outlinging the story: https://leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com/item/Kp1hHIcCwwhlKKRAM9W8/

Y'all... I am so flipping excited right now! Fingers crossed that the author decides to work with us. And if she does, here's what's next:

• The author and I will get to work making the book into the best version of itself with extensive editing and reshaping!
• We will be working with amazing graphic artists to pull the perfect cover together!
• And we will be looking at a fall 2025 launch date!

I will share updates here periodically, but if you want an insider look at this entire process, including sneak peaks of the story, first look at the cover and exclusive hang outs/interviews with the author, make sure you are subscribed at at least the $5 tier, as paid members will get a first look at the publishing process, as well as the ability to offer feedback very early in the process (and an early copy of the book).

But don't worry, even if you are not a paying member, you will still get updates before the general public! Because you are an important part of this community.

And now for some other good news.... unless the author passes on our offer and I have to dive back into manuscripts, I am done searching! Which means I can get back to my TBR and can create more exclusive content for YOU! So look out for more book recommmendations, reviews, bookish conversations and fun interactive content that is only available right here on Bindery!

I am so grateful that you are here and I can't wait to see where this journey takes us!!!
