I got to read an early version of this and it’s excellent. And this edition even more so

My first agented titles are hitting all the milestones ahead of publication, which is exciting, but strangely, seeing them up for preorder at the Swiss bookshop I grew up with is the one that hits hardest

Look, I'm going to tell you a secret. If you buy an e-book while it's on sale, you never have to read it. If you have $2 to spare & want to help that particular author, you can just chuck the book into the oubliette of your TBR. Every sale helps. The author will never know, but you gave them a gift.
