Meet our amazing publishers! This is Ben and Vivec Meet our amazing publishers! This is Ben and Viveca of @notapipepub , who have tirelessly worked with us to make Unrelenting ready for human consumption!โ  โ  Not only have they supported us with edits, plot ideas, cover layout, and question-answering (and wowee we had a lot of questions, since this was our first book)...โ  โ  And not only have they stood beside us and honored (and shared!) our values, and made us feel SO positive about having ethical publishing partners...โ  โ  They've been so extraordinarily kind and thoughtful and HUMAN through this entire process.โ  โ  One small example: When I (Marie's writing this!) asked them for more time on a deadline because I had just learned I was getting divorced and moving to a new place, they were so compassionate. They assured me I could take all the time I needed. And then sent me Ben's book of poetry he'd written as he navigated his own divorce.โ  โ  We've both been so impressed by how they conduct themselves and their publishing house, and we're grateful they saw something in our book.โ  โ  Thank you, Viveca and Ben, for everything! Here's to more adventures together in the not-so-distant future!

There's only ONE WEEK LEFT until Unrelenting hits There's only ONE WEEK LEFT until Unrelenting hits shelves!!!โ  โ  This is a goal that we, @jessihonard and @themarieparks , have each had since we were little kids: to publish a book we're really proud of.โ  โ  And we can't wait for you to read it.โ  โ  Are we a little terrified of what you're going to think? Yep.โ  โ  But we are mostly just grateful that you're along for the ride, and that you believe in us.โ  โ  We believe in you, too.
