✅ Pre-ordering helps support a small publisher that features women’s voices!
Finishing Line Press was founded by C.J. Morrison to help women writers accomplish their dreams. In 1998, she launched the New Women’s Voices chapbook competition series, which poets could enter if they had never published a book of poetry before. Leah Maines was the first poet to be featured by this series, and she is now the editor of Finishing Line Press. FLP is now an award-winning small publisher, and they rely on the income from sales to continue promoting the next generation of women poets. Pre-order volume determines the size of the initial press run for the book, so add your name to the list and pre-order East Side Solitude today!

✅ Pre-ordering helps me by determining my royalty rate!
The lifetime author royalty rates of East Side Solitude are determined by the amount of pre-order sales! That means in order to be compensated for my book in the future, my friends and supporters need to show their demand for the book now! Your one pre-order purchase supports me as an artist for years to come. Thank you for being an integral part of my achievements! Make sure to enter yourself in current giveaways for a chance at an autographed item to show my appreciation!
🎯🏃♀️My final goal progress is: 67/50 pre-orders!!!
