The day before a book comes out is always a jumble of emotions. Whether it's your first book or your 8th book, it's always a lot. Tomorrow 19 women will be published authors in our collaborative book called, FEISTY!

These women share brave stories and have been working together for the past few months to create an incredible collection. 

The Community is all tingles today. It's a big friggin' deal to write your story and publish a book. For so many, it is a lifetime goal. Inevitably there is a mix of emotions: Excited. nervous, anxious, terrified, relieved, and proud. 

I remember the day before my first book came out; I felt sick. I had poured my heart onto the page and I was terrified. Such a mess of conflicting, contradictory emotions.

• afraid that would no one would buy it or read it.
• horrified that anyone would read it.
• fearing that they would know what I really think and hate it
• even afraid that it would be a huge success.

Whether sharing stories of trauma or resilience or just teaching what we're good at, any time we open up and shared our voice in a public forum, it's a risk. If you've ever tried something really new, and put yourself out there, you know this fear of everything that you've ever hoped for. This growth is a large part of why we do what we do at Red Thread Publishing. 

Today, on the cusp of this epic moment, celebrate these women for risking, for showing up, and for sharing their truth. Order FEISTY on Amazon.
