As an independent self-published author, even working with industry pros for design and editing, it's really hard to have any idea of the objective quality of your book (especially for someone like me who has massive impostery-thought stuff to manage).
That's why this feels like big deal:
My new book, "You Are A Strategist," has earned a Booklife Reviews ⚡️Editor's Pick designation AND is now available at independent bookstores nationwide! 📚
Booklife Reviews called it a "practical, illuminating guide" with "first-rate advice presented with rare clarity" — and gave it straight A's for production quality (owing to my collaborators, Caerus Kourt (design & layout) via Reedsy, and Laura Matthews (Editor) at https://Thinkstory.biz).
The BookLife Editor's Pick is awarded to "superlative" books that demonstrate "truly outstanding quality" — and as a first-time self-published author...
...it boosts my confidence that maybe this lifelong aspiration to write books isn't so far fetched.
Equally exciting: you can now get "You Are a Strategist" in print from independent bookstores everywhere!
✨ Request it from your local independent bookstore

This book is for anyone who's ever felt like a square peg in a round workplace — especially analytical thinkers, neurodivergent professionals, and other "This can be better..." status-quo challengers.
My No-BS approach to strategic planning and OKRs strips away confusion and gives you practical frameworks to transform your vision into measurable impact, regardless of your title or role.

(It also delights me that of all the Strategy and Business categories on Amazon, the one it's inching closer to the bestseller list on is "Career Advancement & Professional Development." If this book helps people have more successful careers with less suffering, then it's *all* worth it!)
Have you picked up your copy yet? I'd love to hear what resonates most with you!
