This is amazing news !!!! I love how you’ve set up a coaching platform for other aspiring writers - so quickly as well !!! I love that you’ve been telling people you’re a writer - me too !!!! I was on benefits over Covid and whenever I told the job centre that I was writing books about my journey they were super supportive and didn’t poo poo it, I couldn’t believe it! Love the buzz light year reference too, I’ve been referencing “to infinity and beyond” today saying that’s where my treatments take you 😆😂🤣 are you permitted to say which publisher you are with yet?
We ARE writers my darling!! I love that the job centre didn't poo poo it. That really warms my heart. I am allowed to discuss the publisher - I'm just trying not to put it all in one post 🤣. They are Icon Books, an independent publisher 'which specialises in intelligent, quality non-fiction' apparently 🤣. I'll take that...more on them soon my lovely xx
So many congratulations on this amazing moment! So so glad you’re letting yourself really have it and I can’t wait to read about the journey to come. Hearing that you got the deal while on hold with BA really made me laugh, as I think a book deal is the only thing that could make those wait times bearable. 🤣
🤣🤣 so true!! The hours I have spent listening to hold music this month - where have all the actual people gone?! Thank you ❤️❤️ so lovely to be connected here xx

Massive congratulations, Emma! This is immense! So excited for you and to follow along on your journey. I'm on retreat this week and feeling all the vibes as I work on book two. Book one on sub and hoping a deal is coming my way, too 🙏🤞😂
Oh brilliant!! Good luck with the submission, have everything crossed for you, and yep all there is to do in the meantime is crack on with book 2. Where are you on retreat? I love a writing retreat 💕💕
Wow that is wonderful news Emma 👏😀❤️ So excited for you! And can't wait to pre-order your book when the time comes. Very well deserved, you have such a gorgeous, engaging and relatable style of writing 🥰
Oh Vicki thank you so much, that comment has made my heart sing. You're so kind, and I absolutely love your writing too - you write with such intelligence, sensitivity and empathy. Thank you for all your support and encouragement, it means the world ❤️
Thank you Emma. And I'd be very keen for a collaboration of some sort, if you think our subject areas intersect in a useful way. Recovery from autoimmune disease is certainly one of my passions, among many other things 😊

Absolutely thrilled for you, Emma! Congratulations and practise saying "I'm a writer" several times a day until you believe it completely. x
Thank you so much Caroline, yes I need to practice my affirmations!! 🥰🥰

Yes - I was going to suggest the same thing!! Shall we email and arrange a chat? I'm on emma@emmasimpsonauthor.com
Be great to collaborate with you x
Yes, lovely. I'll send you an email 😊
Congratulations! Such wonderful news! Glad to see this announced now in a public post.
Thanks so much Amy - I have been bursting 🤣❤️
Huge congratulations, Emma! 🥳 So exciting!
Aah thanks so much Clare - it's really exciting - and a bit nuts!! xx
Congratulations 🥳 That’s great news!!! I’m so looking forward to getting my teeth into (both) book(s), when they do come into the world.
Re the coaching, I’d be interested in how you go from ‘I like writing and I think I’m pretty good at it’ to ‘I have a book idea and a book’ ! 🩵
Congratulations again, fabulous news 😄
