Cranky much? Of course you are. You’re a mom. And you are {unfortunately} normal.
But. What if…
We could free ourselves from the cranky pants that bind us?
Stop yelling and start speaking life into our kids…
Grasp that elusive thing called patience…
Understand our children at their level and quit imposing our stuff on them…
Is there really a way to enjoy our families more than we scold them?
I’ve got the answer. And I’ve been SO eager to share it with you at last.
Introducing my new book, The Cranky Mom Fix: Get a Happier, More Peaceful Home by Slaying the “Momster” in All of Us. This one is for mothers (and grandmas and aunties and babysitters) EVERYWHERE. It officially releases June 4. But you can get it earlier. Want to know how?
Join my launch team to read a copy of The Cranky Mom Fix before it even hits the shelves! With your help, we can introduce this fabulous book into the world and take the Momster community by storm.
What is the book about?
The Cranky Mom Fix is a Christ-centered approach to overcoming the crankiness that creeps into our lives daily when we’re tired, busy, anxious, preoccupied—in other words, whenever we’re breathing, really. This book will show you how to:
- assess the triggers that spark your angry responses
- understand your children better so you can minimize frustrations
- learn gentle, effective responses to trying situations
- discover how to enjoy your family more than you bark at them
- and SO MUCH more.
If you desire to be a kinder, gentler, funner mom (is “funner” a word? Merriam-Webster says no but I say heck yeah)…then The Cranky Mom Fix is going to bless your Crocs off.
What is a launch team?
If you’re new to the idea, a launch team is a group of people who come together to support an author (me!) by helping spread the word of her new book. You’ll be asked to share news of the book on social media and with people in your sphere—your church, friends, colleagues, followers or subscribers (if you’re a blogger too)—and {this is super important} you’ll be asked to POST A REVIEW on book sites like Amazon, Goodreads, Barnes & Noble, etc.
What’s the purpose of a launch team?
Word of mouth is a powerful tool. Launch teams rally around a book and help spread its message in ways traditional advertising can’t. When you participate in my launch team, you’ll be blessing not just me but also the thousands of women who will hear about the book, read it, and be inspired to live their lives for Jesus simply because they heard about The Cranky Mom Fix from you. Isn’t that awesome?
When is the launch team happening?
The launch team will run from May 13–June 7. No worries if you have a vacation week scheduled within that time frame; we just ask that you participate as much as you’re able and post those reviews when the book releases!
What’s in it for you?
Good question! When you join my launch team:
- You’ll get immediate access to a digital copy of The Cranky Mom Fix. That means you be one of the first people to read the book, weeks before copies hit the shelves.
- AND—the first 100 launch team applicants to pre-order a copy of the book on Amazon (or from another retailer) will also get an EARLY bonus paperback copy for free! It’s a POGO (pre-order one, get one), and my publisher will send you the free copy before the retailers ship theirs. Advanced copies are super fun.
- Plus anyone who takes advantage of the POGO will also get the pre-order bonuses I’m offering to the general public, including my Bible study for siblings, Let’s All Get Along, and my online parenting course, Parenting Backwards, for free.
- Last but not least, we’ll have loads of fun connecting in the launch team Facebook group, including chances to win valuable prizes.
Do you have to pre-order a copy of the book in order to participate in the launch team?
Technically no. If you just can’t swing the cost of a book, I would still love to have your support. However, pre-orders are strongly encouraged. This is for two reasons:
- Placing a pre-order is actually one of the best things you can do to help support this book. Amazon ranks new releases according to the number of pre-orders placed before a book’s release date. The more pre-orders we get, the higher Amazon will rank us, which means the higher our chances increase that book retailers will pay attention and order the book for their shelves. Everybody is vying for limited shelf space, limited radio spots, limited TV interviews, limited podcast guest spots, and so on. Your pre-order can actually help get The Cranky Mom Fix in front of more people.
- When you pre-order from an online retailer, you are flagged as a verified purchaser, which makes your review more credible. Amazon is becoming increasingly picky about reviews, and your associated pre-order can help keep us on Amazon’s good side. That is essential to the book’s success.
So… are you ready to join me?
Please complete the launch team application by Friday, May 3 and be sure to join the Facebook group {a link is in the application} because that’s where we’ll be communicating all the updates, including a book club type discussion, fun giveaways and lots of live pop-ins from me.
You can access the launch team application HERE.
I am SO excited to usher The Cranky Mom Fix into the world. With your help, we can make a huge impact on moms and their families in Jesus’ name.
I’ll see you in the launch team!
Hugs,
Becky
