Inspired Holidays {Day 23}:: pssst....I wrote an ebook.

So, from the very first day I started my blog, I intended to write a book. Only, I didn’t write a book because I wrote a blog instead.

Four years and lots of words later, I finally got around to creating that book. You can find the website for it here.

This project has been a labor of love. This ebook is the short, pretty,  and sweetly reorganized message I’ve been sharing for four years. My message is living authentically at home, which is the essence of The Inspired Room. It isn’t new content, but rather it is the main message I’ve been sharing here and around the web, reformatted into an ebook! You can find the disclosure here.

I cannot even begin to tell you all the support I have had for this book and this message from the very beginning of my blog. It has been humbling and encouraging to hear from so many of you who resonate with what I’m saying. It has given me confidence to keep sharing it!

Putting yourself out there is never easy and yet, writing on this blog feels somewhat safe and familiar. You guys get me. You know I don’t feel remarkable. But sending my message out beyond this blog, well, that is a little like those nightmares of showing up to school in your pjs. Or worse. You suddenly want to hide and duck and hope no one starts laughing at you.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know this ebook will be released on Tuesday — I’ll put an announcement post up that day. It took the effort of many people to create this book and I’ll be sharing more about the process and help I had another time. But now I could use YOUR help! I am such a newbie at this ebook promotion thing  so if any of you want to help me spread the word about this upcoming book, I would appreciate it.

Tuesday it will be available as a PDF download. You will be able to get via the Not a DIY Diva website. Sometime in the near future, I’ll have it on amazon for Kindle.

How can you help me?

Spread the word in any way you are comfortable with! You can start talking about the ebook now and let people know you are looking forward to its release on Tuesday! The website for the book is NOTaDIYdiva.com so you can see what it is all about!

Share it with your friends on facebook! It is easy, just hit LIKE and then you can share the book links and facebook page with your facebook friends! That would be so awesome of you.

  • PIN the ebook website image to your Pinterest boards. There is an easy PIN IT button on the home page of the book website. Easy peasy!
  • Share the ebook on your blog!

If you’d like to tell people what you like about the message of the book on your blog on Tuesday, I could send you a link to the book so you can see it first, I’d be grateful! I will give out 50 free books if you would like to be a part of the fun and let people know about the book’s release!

Could you email my new VA at theinspiredroom {dot} blog {at} gmail {dot} com  (yes, I have a Virtual Assistant now, more on her later!), Lindsey is her name — and  let her know you’d like to share about the book? Put SHARE EBOOK in the subject line and please give your blog link in the body of the email. If you do not hear back, it is because we already reached our limit of 50 free books this time! Stay tuned on Tuesday for more giveaways!

    I am so excited for your book. I can’t wait to read it and share it with my readers. I get so wrapped up in the Diva thing that I can be discouraged a lot of the time instead of Living the Life that I know God intended. Thank you. Wanda

    Tweeted (then retweeted on my other account), liked, and pinned! Also emailed and have my fingers crossed! I was not so much into the DIY thing nor decorating in general until I started shopping at IKEA and reading The Inspired Room. And we have started house hunting so will hopefully move into our first house soon! Can’t wait for your book! I will definitely be getting it!
