I hinted at this a few times throughout the year on social media but I wrote a book! This is something I have thought about doing for years and 2021 was the year I finally did it. I have tried to keep this a secret and I am so excited to be able to talk about it today! 

The idea for the book came to me years ago and I just never sat down and wrote the book until now! Since January I have been working on this and I really excited and terrified for it to be out in the world. In 130ish pages and 30,000 words, I share everything I know about blogging from how to do it on a budget, my personal hacks and even how to pitch to brands (I feature the email template I created to pitch for gifted opportunities and sponsor.

Blogging 101: Everything You Need to Know About Blogging will be available on the 1st of June 2021. It's going to be exclusively on Amazon for a couple of reasons but the main one is I wanted anybody who wanted to read it to be able to access it for free. The book will be available in paperback on release day for £6.99 if you want a physical copy and you can preorder the ebook now for £2.99 which will land on your kindle or device at midnight on release day. 

But if you want to read the book completely for free on your end, I have enrolled the book to be apart of Kindle Unlimited. I am the biggest Kindle Unlimited fan and it's how I do most of my reading. Through the widget below or this link, you can have access to the subscription service completely for free for 30 days. You can cancel before the 30 days are up and still have access for the whole month without it costing you a penny but to be transparent, I will be earning money through the sign up and for every page of the book that is read through Kindle Unlimited. 

You can preorder the ebook here!

You can also save the book on Goodreads!
