Look at these mailers 👀

It’s been wild seeing my first book The Big Bitter Book come to life—cover design, mailers, the whole chaotic, beautiful process. I’ve already gotten some amazing reviews (and even a few “this ruined my life in the best way” DMs), and now people are telling me it’s time to write the next one.

So… I’m doing it.

Follow this account to see what’s coming next. Think dark humor, real talk, and a healthy dose of unhelpful self-help. Or, you know, straight-up chaos in paperback form.

Thank you all for the support. Couldn’t do this without you. 🖤

I never thought I’d be stoked to see people holding my book in this manner but dammit I think this should be the new trend #🖕

📘 It’s official — The Big Bitter Book is done.
Not a self-help book. But a bitter road map.
No healing. No breakthroughs. Just 12 steps into spite, sarcasm, and spiritual delusion.

Perfect for that one friend in recovery who still hates everyone or if you just need a good laugh

🛑 Don’t buy it for the hope.
🔥 Buy it for the butter spiral.

drops June 30th!!! Let’s get bitter and learn how you can be part of Volume 2!

Ok guys! Here’s the final look at the book cover! I’d love your feedback.
Someone mentioned that I should remove the “Step One” banner at the top, but I’d really like to hear more thoughts on The Big Bitter Book cover! And please follow the account!

Let me know what you think in the comments!

Just making some final edits, but the book is officially dropping in the next week or two!

At the back of the book, I included an email where you can send in your own bitter, resentful stories — true, exaggerated, or completely made up. If Volume One gets enough traction, I’d love to keep the bitter train rolling with a second edition full of submissions from readers like you.

I seriously appreciate all the support. Stay tuned… and stay salty.

Well… it’s officially happening — I just submitted my first book for copyright, and I’m beyond excited, and maybe just a little nervous, to reveal the first draft of the cover!

This is my debut publication, so please go easy on me — but also, feel free to get excited. The book is a totally ridiculous, brutally honest, and darkly hilarious twist on the classic self-help genre. Think of it as an inverse self-help book… heavy on the sarcasm, light on the enlightenment.

It’s all satire — but let’s be real, sometimes the best therapy is just laughing at how messy it all is.

More updates soon… but for now, here’s the cover. Let me know what you think 👀📚
