It’s true—self-publishing is a big task. That’s why having someone to walk that road with you, a writing buddy, can be so helpful. Teri Lynne and I know what a help and encouragement that can be. Having someone to talk through ideas, give feedback, and offer a much needed word of encouragement in those moments of weariness is huge!
With that in mind, we put together this sale and giveaway! Get the book for you and a friend!

How exciting. What a fun giveaway.. awesome idea! I would love love to enter this. I am secretly entering my writing buddy 😉 Her name is TJ Ellis.. she is my best friend and has been since she was in 9th grade and I was blessed to be picked to be her writer in Biology. See my amazing friend has cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair and can only use her fingers (a few of them) to type. But the thing about her is SHE IS AN AMAZING WRITER.. she writes all the time and is very gifted (she is also the most incredible prayer warrior you will ever have) I so want to win this so I can encourage her in her writing 🙂 And I would love a push in mine as this is a God-sized dream of mine. Blessings

Kristin Taylor says
One of my dear friends, Holly, is a writing buddy in more than one way. We both dream of writing books and bounce ideas off each other. We also communicate multiple times each week in long, conversation-tone emails from hundreds miles apart. Both being writers, this works well for us and has kept us close despite the distances.

I have more than one writing buddy–but Gretchen Louise is one of them. Trina Holden another. We are in a group of about 20 of us, but only few of us are writing eBooks (or attempting to!) 🙂

I requested Jaimie Bowman just now. I hope I can make it with the few days left. I don’t have any other person in mind if she already has a writing buddy.
Rebecca Caigoy says
Jamie Bowman confirmed for us to be writing buddies. However, she already has the book. Do I have to buy the 2 books?
