With “A Brighter Blueprint: The Twelve Threads of Effective Advocacy” officially launching on March 27, many of you have asked how you can help spread the word.

Advocacy is all about the power of many voices—and I’d love for yours to be one of them!

Here are five quick ways you can help A Brighter Blueprint reach the people who need it most:

• 1. Add it on Goodreads & StoryGraph: Even if you haven’t read it yet, adding it to your “Want to Read” shelf helps the algorithms show the book to more people.
• 2. Request it at your Local Library: Most libraries have a “Suggest a Purchase” form on their website. Just give them the title and my name (Lesa Brackbill)! This makes the book accessible to everyone, regardless of their budget.
• 3. Order your copy: You can find it on Amazon, Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, or get a signed copy from my Etsy shop!
  • Truly, ordering directly from me is the least expensive way to receive a print copy (and fewer dollars go to big companies). I have little to no control over the pricing, except in my own shop. And I will sign it!
  • The audiobook is coming soon!
• 4. Share the news: Pick a post of mine that resonates with you and share it to your story or feed. Your personal “why” for following this journey is more powerful than any ad!
• 5. Leave a review: Once the book is out, honest reviews on Amazon and other booksellers are the “fuel” that keeps a book moving.

Thank you for being part of this thread. We are stronger together!
