Call for First Readers - Regenerative Power

For a long time, Regenerative Power has lived between me and the page.

Now I’m ready to let a few more people into the conversation.

During August, I’m inviting a small group of first readers to read the complete manuscript before it moves into book design.

I’m not looking for editors. The manuscript has already been through months of structural editing, close editing and refinement.

What I need now are thoughtful human readers.

People willing to notice where they become absorbed, confused, unconvinced, surprised or unexpectedly moved. Where the journey gathers momentum. Where it loses it. Where something feels repetitive. And, perhaps most importantly, what the book leaves you thinking about power.

You don’t need to be an expert in leadership, systems thinking or regeneration. Curiosity matters more.

I’ll provide a digital manuscript in early August, together with six simple questions to guide your reading. I’m asking first readers to finish the book and return their reflections by the end of August.

If spending part of August with an unpublished book about rethinking how we live, lead and belong sounds like something you would genuinely enjoy, reply to this post or send me a message and tell me briefly why.

I’m only looking for a small circle.

It feels a little strange to finally let the manuscript out into the world.

Probably a good sign.

Regenerative Power is big-think nonfiction that reframes power from possession and control to relationship, participation and answerability to life through forty-eight emergent laws drawn from living systems science, Indigenous wisdom, women’s history and lived experience, inviting readers to rethink how they live, lead and belong.
