Hi !

I hope you are doing well and staying safe. It has been a while, and I sincerely apologize for the silence. I have been a bit busy in the past month as I try to wrap up a project that I have been working on for the past 1.5 years.

But, thankfully, the project is now completed, and I can officially share the big news with you guys today. And, yes, I will just spill it here and out because...

My debut book, Your Best Self: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Self-Love, is out and open for pre-order now!

Yes, you read that right! My book is out! My book. My book.

Oh. My. God.

I am still struggling to say the phrase 'My book' because it is such a surreal thing - like, oh my God, this has been on my 'To-accomplish' list since, like, forever, and to finally cross this off is just an amazing feeling.

I can officially call myself an author now, like OMG, this really is happening!!!

So, you might be asking, what is the book about?

Based on the name, Your Best Self, the book is a collection of my life experiences and my self-discovery and self-love journey. I shared some of the best (and worst) moments of my life, and the lessons that I have learned from these moments.

I have also included some templates and prompts to help you in your own self-discovery journey as well, so you can take the opportunity to reflect on your own life experiences and plan ahead for your future journey.

If you have enjoyed what I've shared in previous newsletter issues or loved reading what I post on my blog or other social media, then I am highly optimistic that you would love the book as well. But, well, don't take my word for it, because I'm obviously biased towards it :p

But, in all honesty - if you are feeling lost or trying to figure out where to start in planning your life, or just needed some pick-me-up or inspiration, then this book is for you! I cannot (and will not) promise that the book will solve 100% of your problems, but it will hopefully give you some tools and ideas on where to get started on your own self-discovery journey.

OMG, that's awesome! How do I get one?

Well, officially, pre-orders will open on Monday, 23rd August at noon, because that is when the publisher and I will be announcing it on social media. I specifically chose to open pre-order on 23rd August because, y'know, it's my birthday, so I wanted my 27th birthday to be special and all.

But, since you are a subscriber of this newsletter, and you have been a big part of my writing journey, you get the special treatment of knowing the big news first and get the first look at the book!

The book is available for pre-order on my blog, and if you place an order during the pre-order period (23rd August until 31st August 2021), you can get the book at a discounted price!

Buy the book!

There will be two packages available, with Package A being just the book and a bookmark, and Package B has the book, the bookmark, and a scented candle.

The scented candle is a limited-edition scented candle from Flonerch, who is also the publisher of the book. I'll write up more about Flonerch and the history behind how this book came to life on my blog, but in summary - Flonerch is a lifestyle business/brand that focuses on self-love.

Some of their products include brew-tea-ful tea kits, scented candles, personalized mugs, pouches, and more. You can check them out on Instagram here to see the cute items that they sell! :)

Help me to share the words out!

As this is my first time writing and releasing a book - I am hella scared and nervous (I'd be crazy not to be!). So I need your help to share the words with your friends - especially if you know of anyone who would benefit from the book or may need some inspiration or motivation in their lives.

I will also be sharing a lot about the book on my social media, so I would highly appreciate it if you could help to share the posts out to help me reach out to a bigger audience. Any RTs, shared posts, or even likes, would go a long way, and I would like to thank you in advance for your support.

And if you do decide to buy the book (thank you in advance!!!), I am definitely open to your feedback, comments, thoughts, and ideas. After all, I am still learning myself, and I would love to hear what you think about it. Feel free to email me (as usual), or reach out to me on social media (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) with your thoughts. <3

Until I see you in two weeks' time (I will hopefully get back on track with writing now that the book is out!), stay safe, take care, and stay awesome everyone! :)

Love,

Nazu xx
