Todays the day! The little ombré book enters the world and you can order it from your favorite bookstore. • This book starts when I am eight and goes through college, so I hope it’s good for your tweens and teens. BUT ALSO, some of us have wounds from childhood (from navigating racism) that could use some balm, and I hope this is that for you, too. • GR, I sure hope you’ll come celebrate with me at Schuler Books this evening!

Austin Channing Brown is inviting readers to join the launch team of her new book, I'M STILL HERE (ADAPTED FOR YOUNG READERS). Don't miss it! https://woobox.com/3orwk2

🚨THIS IS NOT A DRILL!🚨 I am so excited to announce: right this minute you can join my book launch team!

Not only does being on the launch team give you early access to the whole book, you will also get an exclusive syllabus (aka reading guide) created by yours truly with several virtual events with some incredible guests. Oh yeah and exclusive bonus passages that didn’t get included in the final book. Trust me when I say you are gonna want to be part of this 💜

Joining is easy - just preorder the book and sign up at the link in my bio. I'll send you the syllabus in March and the dates for our virtual gatherings.

What will I ask in return? When the book is released in April, you will write a review on Amazon or GoodReads or your favorite review site. And we’ll have small challenges like posting about the book on socials- things you can decide to do or not based on your own schedule. That's pretty much it!

Think of it as a book club where you know both the book AND discussion will be fantastic. All the details can be found at the link in my bio - tag a friend to join and lets get this book launched and into the hands of the little Austin’s that we can.

Thank you - and as always I'm so glad we're still here!
