Help: Need Testimonial for Back of Book!

Yes, that’s right … we have the back of a book! Which means we almost have a book! Brief update below. In the meantime … anyone out there 1 or 2 degrees of separation from a woman with a recognizable name or a recognizable organization who would be willing to review an excerpt of Hear Us Roar! 28 Stories of Everyday Women Leading Extraordinary Lives and give us a quote to put on the back … ummmm, quickly?

Here’s the latest since the last blog post:

- I did it; I put a stake in the ground and picked 28 authors;

- All 84 contributors who provided email addresses have been notified; we still have 2 of the 28 for this edition who are MIA but we’re closing in;

- We have 26 charities who will be benefiting from the sale of this book (two duplicates), and it looks like we can make profits of anywhere from $12 to $17 per copy (based on a retail price of $24.95) using a self-publisher;

- The book will be available on Amazon (although we’ll make more $$ if it’s purchased thru a specific web link);

- We’re aiming to get this thing published in time for holiday sales … with a special focus on those procrastinating shoppers like me.

Here’s a sneak peek at the copy from the back:

Women are making remarkable strides in the world, fully stepping into our natural leadership roles—as Moms, Volunteers, Politicians, CEOs, and everything in between. We also still downplay our own abilities and accomplishments. If you’re a woman, then chances are you struggle with some variation of this. Case in point: When was the last time you really let a compliment sink in? Or took the opportunity to toot your own horn?

This collection of refreshingly honest and motivational tales written by “ordinary” women leading extraordinary lives reveals the secrets to turning your whisper into a roar. Find out how these role models faced the obstacles placed on their path—from depression, date rape, and divorce to bankruptcy, burnout, and bootcamp—and found hope, love, triumph, and peace along the way.

Through Hear Us Roar!, 28 women share their stories and inspire others to roar while raising money for charity. All profits from the sale of this book are contributed to the authors’ charities of choice.

Join a remarkable community of women with a huge commitment to making a difference. Be moved by what you read. And discover yourself in the process.
