I'm Writing a Book for the First Time! (Also I Need Your Help)

I'M WRITING A BOOK! This is some big news I've been dying to share for months and finally I got the green light from my publisher.
Obviously, it's going to be a personal finance book, but the focus is going to be on how to develop a healthier relationship with money by discovering how you feel about it and why that is. In other words, it's going to dive into the emotional, behavioural, and psychological sides of money (not just be a how-to book). A very different type of personal finance book, that's for sure!
This is honestly a life-long dream for me, and the icing on the cake is getting the chance to work with one of the biggest publishers in Canada - HarperCollins Canada.
I'm only a few months into the book-writing process, but I will be documenting my journey on my Instagram if you want to follow along. But more importantly, if you want to share your money story with me for the chance to be included in the book, use the application form below. I want this book to not just be about me talking about me, but include stories from people like you so anyone can pick up this book and find themselves reflected in it.

I have a great story about coming back from bankruptcy and rebuilding my credit score to 865, and helping other too.

[@jessicamoorhouse]

Wow, that does sound like an amazing story!

[@gillianreid6501]

Congratulations Jessica! That's very exciting! I will be the first one at the bookstore buying a copy. Good luck with the writing process. You'll do great.

[@jessicamoorhouse]

Thanks so much Gillian!

Please include a chapter on how Canadian RRIF rules need an overhaul. Why do Canadian retirees have to pay huge taxes once in a RRIF after years of tax sheltered RRSP contributions. Makes no sense especially since most seniors need every dollar in their retirement years. It's not the most thought out program for seniors! Thanks in advance for your feedback. Phil

A great idea though unfortunately that's not what my book is going to be about (but hey, fingers crossed I get a second book deal after). My book is not a typical how-to practical money book. It's more focused on psychology, trauma, behaviour, societal injustices, and how we can try to overcome these barriers to improve our financial lives.

I've considered writing books after reading about 5,500 books. Speed reading helps.

[@jessicamoorhouse]

That must be a record or something, wow!

[@bennyw.9716]

That is exciting news. Being an author. Wow. Wishing you success in your writing journey.

[@jessicamoorhouse]

Thank you so much! It's super exciting and terrifying all at the same time, but I'm really looking forward to putting out this particular book and what it's about.

[@MinnieOnCam]

Very simple I'm low-income self-employed, disabled, escaping legislative poverty that is Ontario Disability Support Program, that no one in the personal finance space talks about. Everything in personal finance comes from an ableist perspective, so I have to ignore a lot of the advice out there.

[@jessicamoorhouse]

Yes, your story is so important to share and you're right, it's rarely discussed in personal finance circle.

[@parkerbohnn]

I'm the rarest of all I could've applied for disability but chose not to. That was 29 years ago.

[@MinnieOnCam]

I got soo emotional before I saw the interview invitation. So I filled it out 😭😭

[@jessicamoorhouse]

Thanks Minnie! You've always been such a great supporter of mine!
