Move Slow & Make Things | Book Launch Day!

I’ve been counting down the days to September 1, 2026, and now it’s finally here.  Move Slow & Make Things is now officially on the market!

I cannot express how excited I am that the book is finally available, and I am eagerly awaiting feedback from those who read it.  My hope is the book will be an encouragement, a pep talk, and that anyone who reads it will feel pulled to lean into curiosity, to gain a fresh perspective, to work, rest, and grow, to embrace their unique brand of art, to make room for creativity, to make connections, to make a delightfully fulfilling creative life.

In addition to offering the book in hardcopy format, you can purchase the audiobook for less than $13 HERE.  When the concept for this book first started taking shape, I imagined it as a trade (text only) book.  I’m so glad the publisher encouraged me to add pictures, but I wrote the book in a way that the words could stand on their own.  It’s a great book to listen to on a walk or in the car since it’s divided into short, easily-digestible chapters and essays.

There will be more giveaways, and I’ll share more information about the book and adjacent topics over the coming weeks and months.  Creativity is a big topic, and I only scratched the surface with this book.  In fact, I had to do a ton of editing and omitting right from the beginning to make it fit within the word and page count.
