The release of my baby loss poetry book

Aim

To raise funds to self publish my baby loss poetry book, and support fellow loss mums on this journey.

My name is Danielle, and I'm mummy to 3 beautiful children, but only 2 live at home with me. My daughter set her up forever home in my heart, when she passed away at 5 weeks 2 days old from severe brain damage. In my grief journey I found comfort in connection and the beauty of written words, and I started a little baby loss keepsake business in her memory. I have previously self published my memoir "A Loss Mum's Journal", and I now have a second and third book I would like to release; a poetry book and a children's book for babies born after a loss. Unfortunately, getting a traditional publishing contract is very hard, and the cost of self publishing a good quality book can add up quickly. I'm trying to raise funds to facilitate releasing my poetry book, which is written and ready to go! It's a beautiful book, with dedication poems for babies who left too soon. When I release my book, I intend on donating 10% of print books I sell myself to PeepsHIE, the only UK charity dedicated to HIE families.
