Holly Ringland Instagram – When my @harpercollinsaustralia publisher and beloved friend @catherineishome told me a couple of months ago that Joy has become a national bestseller, I went quiet and goosebumpy with awe. When you’re known for your fiction, as I am privileged and honoured to be, connecting with booksellers and readers as a non-fiction author isn’t a given. And yet. Here we are.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To every single bookseller and reader who has supported and/or bought a copy of Joy – thank you wholeheartedly. Since publication, every post/story/comment that I’ve received, sharing so generously how this little book has become a part of your life and creativity practices has humbled and thrilled me. Your support of my first non-fiction book has changed my writing life. If you have bought and read Joy, thank you. I’m not the author I am without you being the book lover you are.

Here’s to the wild mystery of our ideas! Those we’ve dared to honour and make. And those waiting, impatiently, for us to create.

This book was written with gratitude on unceded Bundjalung Country and Yugambeh Country, during the season when humpback whales migrate south and the wattle blooms. I extend my respect to the traditional owners of these lands and waterways, and to their families and ancestors, who have cared for these areas for thousands of years. I acknowledge them as the original storytellers of these regions. | Posted on 27/May/2024 13:34:16
