It's A Book! Shower™ Celebration

Kamala Akhia Sakhet

Mark your calendars now for a night that goes beyond books—it’s about community, legacy, and celebration. Our It’s a Book! Shower™ celebration is coming to Chicago’s South Side this September, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

This isn’t just another launch party. It’s not just for one author, or one book. It’s a gathering built on love and recognition—an evening created to honor authors who have labored in private and to celebrate the stories they now bring into the world. It’s about surrounding them with the encouragement, applause, and support they so deeply deserve.

Why Call It a Book Shower?

At JC Publishing, we follow the Birth That Book™ process, designed by Literary Labor Coach™ Kamala Akhia Sakhet. Just as a baby shower welcomes new life with joy and gifts, we also welcome the birth of a new book with an It’s a Book! Shower™ welcomes new stories into the world.

For self-publishing authors, the journey is often lonely and costly—editing, design, printing, and marketing are carried on their shoulders, without the backing of major publishing houses. Too often, their labor goes unseen.

It’s a Book! Shower™ changes that. It transforms book publishing into a community celebration—a place where authors receive support, visibility, and resources while readers and backers get to be part of their incredible journey.

Event Highlights You Can’t Miss

• Celebrate Four New Releases – Meet four extraordinary authors and hear the personal stories behind their books.

• Your Ticket = A Book + More – Every $45 ticket includes one of the new release books of your choice, plus other fantastic items below.

• Food, Fellowship & Networking – Share delicious food while connecting with authors, readers, and community leaders.

• Exclusive Swag – Take home custom keepsakes, including T-shirts, bookmarks, and more.

• Golden Ticket Giveaways – Enter to win a personal 30-minute session with an author or the Literary Labor Coach™ herself.

• VIP Early Bird Seating – The first 10 supporters will be honored with front-row seats and ribbons of recognition.



This isn’t only about buying a book—it’s about creating memories, building connections, and standing behind authors who are shaping culture with their words.

Why This Event Matters

For many writers, traditional publishing is a door that never opens. For others, the cost and labor of going it alone can be overwhelming. That’s why this celebration matters.

When you attend an It’s a Book! Shower™, you’re not just coming to a party. You’re helping fund dreams, fuel stories, and give power to voices that might otherwise go unheard. Every ticket purchased is a vote of confidence, a gesture of faith, and an act of generosity that keeps authors on the path to success.

Your support means everything. Without you—our readers, backers, funders, and friends—these stories could remain unseen. With you, they take flight.
