I’m thrilled to share some wonderful news. Three outstanding new books published by Alaya Books and/or written by our coaching clients were named finalists in the Global Book Awards.

This is a huge achievement and a moment worth celebrating. These recognitions honour not only wonderful books, but the quality behind them.

Connections: a powerful anthology of real stories celebrating motherhood, business, and the strength of women supporting women. To learn more click here.

To the authors: congratulations. Your voices matter, your stories resonate, and this recognition is so well deserved. It’s a brave decision to write, to revise, to believe in a story, and to bring it into the world.

As we move forward into 2026, Alaya Books will continue doing what it does best by supporting writers, nurturing authentic stories, and helping meaningful books find their readers.

I want to take a moment to wish you a year filled with creativity, courage, and wonderful new beginnings. Thank you for being part of the Alaya Books community – your support, curiosity, and encouragement make everything we do possible.

I can’t wait to share what’s coming next.
