🎉 PAGES FOR PLATES IS OFFICIALLY LIVE! 🎉

Ten days. One community. One really beautiful reason.

Starting TODAY (September 5th) and running through September 14th, readers all over the country are pledging to read as much as they can. With every single page turned, we raise money for No Kid Hungry to help feed children facing hunger.

Because here’s the truth: 1 in 5 kids in America face hunger. They go to school hungry. They try to learn hungry. They fall asleep hungry.

With No Kid Hungry, just $1 = up to 10 meals. Which means every page you read for the next 10 days literally becomes food for kids who need it.

HOW TO JOIN →IT’S NOT TOO LATE! 📚
📖 Sign up as a reader → Any format, any goal, any way you love to read (audiobook people, I see you and you’re SO welcome!)

💛 Sponsor a reader → Pledge as little as $0.05/page or a flat amount to sponsor someone you love.

🔁 Share this post → Send it to a reader in your life, tag a friend, add it to your Stories. Every share reaches someone who might join.

🎁 BONUS: Every reader who signs up is automatically entered to win THE ULTIMATE BOOKISH BUNDLE — signed books from some of our Ambassador authors PLUS incredible prizes from small businesses across the country.

Indie authors, book influencers, audiobook narrators, local bookstores, coffee shops, and small businesses across the country have all joined me. This is what love looks like when it moves through the book world.

Real talk for a second: running a small business is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done, but it’s also a massive learning curve. 💫

If I could go back and give myself a few pieces of advice when I first started, here’s what I’d say:

1. Your products aren’t for everyone
Trying to appeal to every single person will only burn you out. When you focus on serving the people who truly love and value what you create, everything clicks into place. Embrace your niche—the right audience will find you, and they’ll become your biggest champions.

2. Understand things are going to happen
Unforeseen delays, material hiccups, and random surprises are simply part of the package deal. Learning to pivot with grace rather than stressing over every unexpected twist keeps your sanity intact. Flexibility isn’t just a perk of running your own show; it’s an essential survival skill.

3. It’s not all going to happen at once
Building a business is a slow-burn process, and learning true patience is half the battle. You don’t need the dream setup, every piece of fancy equipment, or endless inventory right out of the gate. Write down your vision, start with what you have, and upgrade your tools and ideas step-by-step as you grow.

4. Family comes first (the most important one of all) ❤️
At the end of the day, my family is the absolute why behind every single thing I build. No milestone, sales goal, or restock deadline is ever worth missing out on the moments with the people who mean the most to me. Being my own boss means setting boundaries so I can show up fully for my kids and my home. The work will always be waiting for me tomorrow, but these days go by fast.
