Self-publishing can help you get your book noticed in the marketplace and we want to help you get self-published! We asked you to submit your ideas for your own book jackets. You were asked to pretend that you were having your book published and write your own description on what your book is about! Thank you all for your amazing responses! It’s evident that there are a lot of strong writers on Gather (which is really no surprise to me) but unfortunately only one person will be the winner!
Congratulations to Julie L.- she’s the winner! Like I said, there were so many to choose from that our decision was very difficult! You can read her description below!
Your Own Dream
Each of us has dreams that we inherit. The work of life is discovering our own. Author Julie Lindahl reflects on 9 unexpected years spent raising her young family on a small isolated island in the North and the dream she found there. Through her story of breaking with a corporate career and a cosmopolitan life, an inherited dream, and pursuing an existence in the often harsh Nordic wilderness, Lindahl captures the very essence of the greatest personal challenge that each of us meets: to discover that there is no blueprint for how to live your life, that all you can really inherit are tools, and that the great work of life is to chisel your own dream out of the ice.
For anyone who has ever felt trapped in a life they don’t feel they should be in, Lindahl opens the door.
Thank you again to everyone for participating! There were some AMAZING entries. Please, keep up the writing!
