After nearly three and a half years–of interviews, and research, and writing, and promoting–last night I got to hold my latest book in hand.
Matching Minds with Sondheim has been a remarkable journey for me. And I am well aware that launching my book tour this week at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts is just the start of the latest leg in my journey.
But as an author, the moment I get to hold a physical version of book in hand, for the first time, is a major milestone. It is the formal transition from a crazy idea in my head into something beyond me that can live out in the world. It marks the start of letting it go.
This week has been Sondheim week at the NYPL, with workshops I led all week and the book release event this Friday (and you’re invited). At my workshop yesterday (on parlor games) the staff surprised me by sharing a copy of the books that arrived to be sold at the event.
And as you could see in the photo I couldn’t be more proud.
Many congrats and all the best with the authoring journey!
