As more and more people ask me when my book, Cecie & The Cone of Compassion, will be available for purchase, I'm more strongly considering just self-publishing to get it out into the world, and into the hands of those who need it most.

Making a profit off this project has never been my main focus.
Honestly? I really just wanted to work with a publisher because I felt as though I needed that external validation that my work was "good enough."

However, I'm realizing that waiting for that praise has been keeping me stuck. Especially, because I haven't had the motivation/energy to contact more than two publishers in the last year. Lol

I want to do right by the people who have been so supportive, and have been patiently waiting.

So, I'm going to put my pride aside and figure out a way to self-publish.

I would LOVE to make Cecie & The Cone of Compassion free to anyone who wants it, but printing and distributing costs money that I just don't have, so I'm going to try to set up a way to pre-order copies of the book to help with upfront publishing costs.

Thanks for your patience.
I'll keep y'all posted.

Love,
Sarah🧡

Hi friends!
For those new around here, I thought I'd introduce myself!

My name is Sarah Ashby. I'm an Autistic/ADHD Author & Artist from Altoona, IA.

*Yeah, that was a lot of A's.😅

As a children's book author, my goal is to write stories that both kids and adults can get excited about.

A few other hats that I wear:
• Bomb Dot Com Cat Mom
• Disability & Civil Rights Advocate
• "Aunt Sarah" to my two nephews
• Vice Chair of the Altoona Arts & Culture Commission

When I'm not working on my children's books, you can find me volunteering, going thrifting or camping with friends, making impactful art, cuddling with my two goblins... I mean, cats, Cecie & Lucy, photographing fungi, spending time with my family, and helping other disabled and/or neurodivergent folks navigate life & find proper care while feeling heard and understood🧡
