Hey there... It's been a whirlwind morning here at Empress Editions... but I couldn’t resist taking a moment to express our sheer delight in working with the incomparable Kimberly Warner. :) Her radiant brilliance and boundless creativity inspire us daily. While there’s much to do, collaborating with her feels less like work and more like a joyous celebration of possibility.
You've poured so much of your heart and soul into these pages. I can't wait to turn them. Thank you for your outpouring and care--what an honor to be here with you.
Congratulations! I learned of your work during the pandemic and I'm so happy for you. And selfishly as a writer, it is inspiring to know that your consistent hard work to just keep writing and sharing and lifting up others has led to this outcome. Can't wait to read it all at once. Congrats again!
Congrats---beautiful affirmation! Yay! I raise a toast, yes---look forward to reading through the pages--- your writing, your words, your journey---this publishing is your triumph...
Slowest response ever! Keep meaning to say yay! Keep meaning to say this is amazing! Keep meaning to say I knew this book needed a print home from the moment I stumbled on a chapter and then couldn’t stop binging! Congratulations, my friend. Can’t wait to hold the book in my hands.
Congratulations, Kimberly, this is such great news. I saw the word “cinematic” in the release, are you already spending the dough in your imagination for the movie rights? Just kidding, I’m so happy for you!
Thank you Rafael? Funny you should mention that, the publisher actually IS sending to agents to bid on limited TV series rights. I just about fainted when I read that!
That’s a long way to wait! Every time you publish on Death & Birds, the world’s song is more harmonious. I’m glad we don’t have to wait until October. :)
Thank you thank you. Like I shared in notes, I sincerely hope my luck is contagious and all my favorite writers over here make announcements like this in the near future.
Best news of the new year so far! I simply cannot wait to hold your book in my hands, to take my time with your exquisite writing. Congratulations, my friend! You are an inspiration 🌟
Amy, you’re such a soulful, loving champion! Thank you for being here with me, understanding the journey, and continuing to do the good work you do in the world and with this community.
I KNEW this day would come!!!!! I am ECSTATIC for you, Kimberly!!!! And for your readers!!!! We get to have a physical copy in our hands!!!! Waaaaaa!!!!! 💥💥💥💗 My heart is exploding!
Jenovia, I get chills thinking about our path’s crossing at the very earliest days of sharing this memoir. Your encouragement and vulnerable reflections were foundational in my ability to keep on going. When I doubted myself, I’d go back and “read what Jenovia shared” to keep going. You’ve been a light beyond anything I ever could’ve imagined. Thank you thank you.

We should wear party jeans every day then.

Thank you Ann. That’s a wonderful thought for every time I turn the pages of anyone’s book. Like turning pages of their soul.

Congratulations, Kimberly! And equally to Alisa for signing her up!
Thank you Jeffrey!
Ahhhhh congrats Kim! (And Alisa!) I'm so happy for you.
Ahhhhh! I like that response. I don’t know if it’s a scream or a wondrous, relaxing exhale. I feel like both are happening simultaneously :)
I think it's all of the above! Come to think of it I've never actually thought about it 😂 but it's definitely positive!
What a way to begin the year! So many congrats, Kimberly. So excited and thrilled for you.
Signed up to the list! :D
Thank you thank you. Like I shared in notes, I sincerely hope my luck is contagious and all my favorite writers over here make announcements like this in the near future.
Well this is HUGE!! I’m so happy for you and Alisa, Kim—what an unstoppable partnership. Mazel tov! 🥳
Isn’t Alisa the cat’s meow sprinkled with glitter and genius? I couldn’t be happier with this partnership.
Awwww.... blushing. (Now that I'm finally seeing 🥰)
Couldn’t imagine a more perfect description! 😍

I could not be happier for you, Kimberly <3 What a great story, on multiple levels.
Thank you Sarah, and thank you for being such an astute reader, and feeling deeply into all those layers.
Congratulations Kimberly. I love it when good things come to good people :-)
Isn't that the truth? I wish that were always the case in this world. Thank you for your kind words David.
