✨ It’s been a WEEK of celebrating over at Forever as we hit 40K on Instagram and Estelle (that’s me) hit her 5-year anniversary at Forever. Whew time really flies. ✨ Two things I want to say: for a long long time, I thought I missed out on my chance to work in books. I was not the person who got the dream job right out of college and now, many years later, I still can’t believe I get to be a part of a book’s journey to publication. (And talk to our amazing authors all day!) If you are out there and feeling stuck, I just want to tell you not to give up on yourself (whether this is about your career or something else). It’s worth putting yourself out there; you just never know where it will lead you. The second thing: connecting with all of you has brought me so much joy. Truly. It feels like we have grown up together in so many ways and I can’t thank you enough for all you do to support Forever, authors, books! It truly warms my heart to have found a place with my fellow book geeks here. 💛 So to celebrate 40K and 5 years, Forever is hosting a sweepstakes where one winner gets to pick 5 galleys from our 2023 collection and a $40 gift card to a book retailer of your choice. The link is in our bio and you’ll find it in our stories. Good luck! Thank you! And sending all the fantastic vibes for this new season that’s upon us. 🎃 [img description: Estelle holding a colorful stack of Forever books with a computer screen behind her and some office knick-knacks including Mickey ears in black and a Kermit the Frog Funko figurine.
