Publication Day!

I’m so thrilled that On Being 40(ish) is in the world today!  I’m really proud of this book and can tell you categorically that the pieces therein will make you laugh, cry, and relate.

There are two launch events scheduled, and if you live in New York or Boston I hope you will come! I will be at both and would love to see you.

February 5th (today) at 7:30 at WORD in Brooklyn.  Sophfronia Scott, Jill Kargman, and Lee Woodruff will be there.

February 11th at 7:00 at the Harvard Bookstore in Cambridge.  Sophfronia Scott, KJ Dell’Antonia, Jessica Lahey, and Catherine Newman will be there.

I love the pieces in this book, and I’m incredibly pleased that early reviews suggest that others do too.  This book seems to be striking a chord!  Among many others, On Being 40(ish) was mentioned last weekend in The New York Times and in New York Magazine.

Three essays from the book have already been published, and I know they’ll give you a small taste of the wonders contained within On Being 40(ish)‘s pink covers:

I Became an Actress at Thirty-Nine by Jill Kargman ran on Bloom

Why I Didn’t Answer Your Email by KJ Dell’Antonia ran in the New York Times

What We Talk About When We Talk About Our Face by Sloan Crosley ran in Elle
