#1 on the NYT!
Plus, a video of my conversation with Ken Burns.
Y’all, I’m sitting here writing this with tears streaming down face. The Small and the Mighty is #1 on the New York Times Best sellers list.
September of an election year is the Olympics of publishing, and I feel like I’ve just won a gold medal. True story: four years ago when I started Sharon Says So, I told my followers, who thronged in by the day, that I felt like I was a competitor in the surprise Olympics. Who knew that just a few years later, I’d be writing to you from an airport, heading to a stop on my book tour.
This is only possible because of you. I will never be over it. And I am so grateful. The fact that his book is perched atop the loftiest of vantage points is a testament to the good in all of you — those who have cheered me on from the beginning, and have consistently supported me in every new venture.
Last week, the day after my book released, I held my first book tour event, at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. The legendary filmmaker Ken Burns interviewed me, and I wanted to share some of our conversation.
I made Ken Burns speechless, y’all. Me.
If you missed the event, and want to purchase the download from the 92NY, you can do that here.
And for those of you wondering what all the 5 star reviews are about, you can pick up your copy of the The Small and the Mighty here.
The tour is just getting started, and I still have tickets open in some cities, including:
Austin (there are only like 20 tickets left!)
I hope by now you see what you mean to your audience. I'm not surprised your book.. not to mention your 1ST book made #1 on NYT. Your name is known globally and you did it by speaking and teaching knowledge, truth and kindness. You've been my Northstar for sanity and humanity since I found you during the pandemic and I'm thankful for that. Congratulations Sharon!
I first discovered you when you were not a thirst trap on The Daily Show 😂 and I'm so glad I did!! Since then- I have joined the League of Women voters, helped people register to vote, donated to more causes, helped political campaigns by writing postcards, canvassing, & will be a poll watcher on Nov 5th. I've shared your factual information & encouraged others to fact check before posting. You were exactly what "we the people" needed! ♥️🤍💙 And your book is AMAZING!! Congrats on being #1!
