Hi everyone and welcome to the Squiggly Careers podcast. I'm Sarah and I'm here with my co-host

But what we do appreciate is that that's not really how the world works in that we're all very used to be able to order a book and get one the next day. So we were trying to think, how can we make sure that you get something in return

if you pre-order the book through

Amazon Waterstones or whatever else you can find to pre-order it, and you email us your confirmation
