Imagine having someone get in touch with you to see if you’d be interested in having them host a special event celebrating your achievements as an author—if you’d be okay with them shining a spotlight on you and your books?
Believe it or not, this happened to me recently—and the special event I’m talking about is actually in the works right now. (I know: it’s pretty mind-boggling, isn’t it?)
Anyway, to say that I’m thrilled and honoured would be the understatement of the year, which is why I’m excited to be able to share details of this event with you. The event is being hosted by BRIA—a virtual clinic developed by leading MD psychiatrists with decades of experience in women’s mental health care. Basically, you’re being invited to get together with a bunch of women who’ve read one or more of my books on pregnancy, parenting, or midlife and who are interested in being part of a conversation about one or more of those books.
Full event description below. You can register for the event here.
BRIA Book Club with Ann Douglas
Please join BRIA to celebrate our inaugural BRIA Book Club with celebrated Canadian author Ann Douglas, on April 4th at 7:30pm.
BRIA is thrilled to welcome Ann, a trusted Canadian writer on all topics relating to pregnancy and parenting, and a leading voice on midlife transitions for women.
Ann is the author of the bestselling “Mother of All” series, which includes The Mother of All Pregnancy Books, The Mother of All Baby Books, The Mother of All Toddler Books and so many more popular guidebooks that Canadian families have relied on for over 20 years.
Ann also published Trying Again: A Guide to Pregnancy After Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Loss with John Sussman. Written especially for parents who have lost a child, Trying Again provides facts to help determine whether you, or your partner, are emotionally ready for another pregnancy.
In 2022, Ann published Navigating the Messy Middle; A Fiercely Honest and Wildly Encouraging Guide for Midlife Women. In her new book, Ann explores the messy and misunderstood midlife years in this big-hearted and encouraging guide for women.
We invite you to join BRIA and Ann for an evening of conversation, connection and laughter, whether you are trying to conceive, pregnant, a new parent, living through the messy middle, or anywhere in between. Ann will share her experience as an expert author, her insights about parenting, and strategies for navigating midlife transitions.
In order to fully participate in the evening’s conversation, please purchase and read the book that best suits your stage:
- Navigating The Messy Middle: A Fiercely Honest and Wildly Encouraging Guide for Midlife Women
- The Mother of All Pregnancy Books
- The Mother of All Baby Books
- The Mother of All Toddler Books
Note: Each of these books is also available via your favourite online book retailer, but in the interests in promoting the health of independent bookstores in Canada (who play an essential role in supporting Canadian authors and their books), I’m providing links to a search tool that will allow you to find and purchase a copy of one of my books via your favourite local bookstore. And, while you’re at it, you might want to make plans to celebrate Canadian Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday, April 29, 2023. I know I’ll be celebrating that day.
