Welcome to Part 2! 

In this part we talk all about the journey of taking Kirsten & Aiyven's books from an ordinary word document into professionally published books;  available to buy on Waterstones, Amazon and on their website ;) We dive into the world of 'Kickstarter' and the girls' next steps once the funds were secured. 

Of course, naturally, we talk about everyone's favourite online retail giant ( & monster ) Amazon. Its shocking to hear about how little the sales from amazon finds their way back to the authors themselves - boycott Amazon! 

We also talk about the girls' amazing subscription reading box business, 'Happier Every Chapter' ! We talk about the impact Covid had on their business and how in some ways, being stuck at home, a reading subscription box became more appealing. Its insane to hear about the stats & facts which provided the impetus to create a subscription box to include a diverse range of characters something which the publishing world severely lacks. 

We finish our conversation with the future of 'Happier Every Chapter' and what to expect from these two remarkable girls. 

Thank you so much girls for coming on the show, it was an absolute pleasure & privilege to have you both. Make sure you follow their journey on pretty much all social media platforms @mbawabooks and their website 'Happier Every Chapter.'
