It was two years ago this week that I finished my book proposal and sent it off to publishers. My agent Leila at @stonesongnyc worked with me and never gave up hope that we would be able to sell this book. A week later I signed my first book deal with Lorena Jones at @tenspeedpress and @penguinrandomhouse . It took two years to write, edit, review, and edit some more- then naming and art and so on. Today I received the first copy of my very first book, PLATFORM. The feeling is unreal and I can’t wait for Feb. 5 when it is officially published! Thank you all who supported me and continue to do so - if interested, you can pre-order a copy now on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Target and other sellers. And a special thanks to my husband (and pre editor) @t.j.pancoast and my team at @bellivyinc - without you guys this would have never been possible. _ #PlatformBook #Personalbranding #Readwith #Readwithcynthia #marketingBook #readwithentrepreneurs (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsygKLKlhzC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gb013iip9njb
