Big congrats! ❤

So so so happy for you!!! Also, trad failures unite! RE what you (Katherine!) said about some books doing better in trad, I have a lot of anxiety about that RE my stuff. I feel like it would probably have done better with trad in some ways, but it's not an option--just something to add to the imposter syndrome, I guess. 🤣 Really respect what you (Stephanie) said about not just pushing the book out and needing something to say. I feel like it's important to take the work seriously in that way (while not taking ourselves seriously, if that makes sense). I'm pretty sure I got that from RuPaul, but whatever! 😆 Can't wait to check out your book! Character voice is such a huge thing for me and it sounds like yours are unique--a big deal and something hard to pull off.
