PREORDERS ARE LIVE!
Hello Friends,
This is the announcement I have been waiting to share!
Man Enough For Myself: A Poetry Memoir is officially available for preorder starting today! As thanks for signing up for my email updates, you guys get the news a whole day early. ;-)
Full release of both print editions and ebook formats will be 10.31.2025.
Here is how the rollout looks:
Ebook - $7.99
Available first on Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Smashwords, and Kobo.
More digital retailers will appear over the next week, As more digital formats become available they will automatically add to my Books2Read page.
**Truth be told, the main reason I am even offering an ebook is because my partner, Tina, loves her Kindle. I am a hard copy purist. Formatting that this was days and nights of hell but at least it looks good now… I think.
Paperback $16.99 — Hardcover $21.99
Rolling out through IngramSpark distribution, starting with Barnes & Noble and Bookshop.org, followed by indie bookstores and libraries. (Also available through Amazon… even though we hate her.)
Preorders for print should begin showing up over the next couple of weeks, and you’ll hear from me when they do! They will also appear on my website: which can be found here!
**And between us, I really hope you will grab it in print. It just reads better on paper.
All of these links will live on my website. You will also find my Books2Read universal link there. It will auto update as each new store listing goes live, so you can always check it for the latest options!
Ever have information you’re looking for, or questions for me directly? The answers and a way to reach me is on my website. :-)
Thank you for being here at the start of this. Preorders matter so much for indie authors, and every order helps signal to bookstores and platforms that this book deserves space. I’m doing this entire operation myself, and appreciate all of the support i’ve received so far!
This book has been years in the making. Today, it is yours to claim first.
With gratitude,
Donatello
P.S. Some of you told me the email sign up form on my site was not working. The issue has been fixed, so if you had trouble before, you can now sign up without a problem! Tell your friends!
