Hi lovelies, welcome to another episode of Cosmic Heartist!

On today's solo episode, I take you with me through my whole journey of deciding that I want to write a book and getting it out there: the process of choosing what made it into the book, working with a creative director and illustrator for the cover, getting the Certificate to be an Author from the NBDB Philippines and then getting an ISBN, and publishing to Amazon.

On this episode, I also read an unpublished poem that's very close to my heart, and quite tender actually. Thank you for holding space. If you'd like to read my published poetry collection, I would be so flattered!

If you're in any part of the world other than the Philippines, you can purchase my book: https://bit.ly/4330uN6

If you're in the Philippines, you can pre-order here

If you're an author and have any questions about the process or would like an editor or some help publishing, I'd be happy to help!
