You're officially on the Beneath the Surface waitlist.

Thank you for being here.

 

As I finish writing and prepare to bring this book into the world, there are a few ways you can help support it:

Follow the journey

Follow me on social media to see behind-the-scenes updates, excerpts, reflections, and the process of bringing the book from manuscript to publication.

A Community Beyond the Book

When Beneath the Surface launches, it will also become home to a free online art gallery and community created for people who have lived through adversity.

The gallery will feature artwork from survivors of childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, adverse childhood experiences, and other forms of trauma and adversity — creating a space for people to express what can be difficult to put into words and to know that their stories matter.

The gallery is not live yet. It will officially open alongside the launch of Beneath the Surface. Until then, I’m beginning to collect artwork from people who may want to be part of it.

If you’d like to submit a piece, you can DM me on Instagram or Facebook with your artwork and anything you’d like me to know about it.

You do not need to be a professional artist. Your work can be a drawing, painting, photograph, collage, digital piece, poem presented visually, or another form of creative expression.

Submitting artwork does not mean it will be published immediately. The gallery and community will open when the book launches, and additional submission details will be shared before publication.

Support the book

If you’d like to help fund the writing, publishing, and launch of Beneath the Surface, you can make a contribution below. Every donation helps me bring this story to life and reach more people with it.

 

Here’s where additional support is directed:

  • Professional editing, design, and publishing so the book is built to last and resonate at the level it’s meant to
  • Marketing, distribution, and outreach to reach people beyond my existing audience who would not otherwise find it

Whether you contribute financially or not, I’m grateful you’re here and part of this.
