Happy holidays from the Thompkins ✨
Life has been so busy and fun! We are in love with our little baby and soaking up every moment with him. We are still fulfilling orders and making sure books get where they need to be. I’m taking it slow but it feels good to be back moving around without as many limitations. I’m on the hunt for more boy books because we can’t read Boys Like Me every night —-feel free to share some of your favorites!

My version of nesting is getting orders ready to ship! Can you believe I’m having a baby next month?

Posting has led to more profit and opportunities so I don’t mind at all. Several years ago I started this Instagram completely separate from my personal one so that I could talk about my business and everyone who followed knew what to expect. It’s paid off over and over again. The school visits, the book sales, the invitations to events, the teacher who sent me this video—- all come because I’m not afraid to share what I have going on. You will always be your biggest advocate. Just post and go!

Author events while pregnant has been a whole new territory! I’ve been blessed to make it to almost everything I had on the calendar for 2025, minus the days I was in the trenches lol. I love staying busy and it’s been so fun to meet more mamas and parents the last few months.

Always counting my blessings! To find success in a space where you’ll hear that self-published authors don’t make any money, that you need a publisher, that the market is oversaturated….

I spend a lot more time stressing than I care to admit. Moving to a higher volume of books is more profitable for the author, but it’s a lot more work. Researching vendors, comparing shipping costs, determining how many books to buy, worrying about the demand for books.. it never ends! Im finally putting my MBA to good use as I run the numbers and see what’s the best investment for my business.

Happy New Year! 🎊 Excited to start the year as a member of the 10K club!

10,000 books sold between my website, Amazon, and the bookstores I’ve partnered with. No manager, agent, or big name publisher. Just me and my loyal friends and family who mention Girls Like Me everywhere they go.

I’ve spent my 2023 cooking New Years dinner, watching Real Housewives of Potomac, and drinking Prosecco. 🥂Still working on writing down my 2023 goals and possibly attempting a vision board, but for now we rest.
