Congratulations Polina!

Polina, Congratulations. Love the title, and a book contract is no doubt well-deserved. I've been through the book ringer--good & bad--over a dozen times, so happy to share any insight I may have gleaned over time, if that's of interest. Regardless, best of luck with it!

Sometimes books just happen when you least expect them. My last book came to me one morning while I was commuting. By the time I arrived at work, pretty much the entire book and outline were in my head. Took me 3 months to translate it into a rough first draft.

Yours was a great self-story, always love these. Thanks!

So well-put, David! I do agree that they happen when you least expect them!

Fantastic - did the book get published?

David Nemzoff's avatar

Thanks for asking. It was published through Amazon and is available there and other places. That one was "Public Speaking for Kids, Tweens, and Teen: Confidence for Life!". The most recent one that coalesced for me is still a work in process. I'm very excited about this one as it explores the state of our K-12 educational environment and possible reformations. I'm hoping to complete that one by January or so.

Just ordered! Congratulations, Polina. Very inspiring to see a working mom achieve her career dreams while nurturing a growing family.

Also, love this passage:

“There’s an old saying that claims every person should do the following three things in their lifetime: Plant a tree, have a child, and write a book. The idea is that all three will live on long after we’re gone.”

Abha Malpani Naismith's avatar

Yes, this passage really stuck with me too!

Neal Bascomb's avatar

Hadn't heard that saying. It's a good one! Thank you for sharing.
