SONGS OF MY SELFIE Reviewed on A Journaled Life

SONGS OF MY SELFIE received a stunning review on the blog A Journaled Life. This is our first review by a non-millennial reader, and it's so rewarding to see Regina's perspective and insight into our stories.

Regina writes:

What I noticed was happening for me halfway through the book was that a pit had developed in my stomach. There was so much heartache. . . . I wanted to know: What happened? How did they get like this? What can I as a mother of a rising millennial do (in addition to helping him navigate away from student loans & Sally Mae)? . . . But that’s the sign of great story right? It makes you feel something, see things differently, want to change yourself and the circumstances for others.

On a more personal note, reading this review was my "I've done it. I'm a writer now" moment. My work, and the works of these sixteen talented contributors, changed someone else's understanding and made someone care. That's the reason we do this, right? That's always been the dream, though it so often felt unattainable. I'm very proud to share this review with you, and I'm so proud of the writers in Songs of My Selfie.

Tremendous Review of SONGS OF MY SELFIE in Portland Book Review!

Debuting our final cover, with a blurb from Cracked.com editor JF Sargent!

Portland Book Review has incredible things to say about Songs of My Selfie: An Anthology of Millennial Stories (Three Rooms Press, April 2016)! I am absolutely thrilled that they chose this book for review and so honored by what they say. In my favorite snippet of this overwhelmingly positive review, their millennial-aged reviewer Julia Gaskill writes:

Look, as a millennial myself, I realize how biased I might come off as in writing this review. But these voices? In all of these stories and essays? They are important. So important. They speak to all the problems my friends and myself have faced in our lives, as well as the joys we’ve encountered. It is no understatement when I, a twenty-five year old woman, state that this collection of essays written by fellow millennials needs to have all eyes on it – especially for those who spend far too much time hating on my generation. There is more to millennials than what is seen upon first glance; we are more than vanity and smartphones.
