This journey is worth all the hassle: My book “Reactive Patterns with RxJS for Angular” made it to BookAuthority’s best new RxJS books

I’m sharing this story to inspire all women to push past the barriers that limit their growth and take action in their lives.

If you are thinking of writing your own book and afraid of failure, poor judgment, or lack of time or energy. I want to tell you that this journey is worth all the hassle.

After one year of hard work my book was published and by the end of last year, it made it to BookAuthority’s best new RxJS books.

The joy of seeing your first book being published with your name on the cover is hard to beat - it was a milestone moment. Then you will start interacting with your readers who will eventually become your loyal fans. Your audience will start growing and your content will not only help developers from all over the world but also will help you evolve. It is not only a transfer of knowledge from one to another, it is a relationship where two people grow together, the reader and the author. You will start to see yourself making an impact in the real world. That feeling of fulfillment and happiness is priceless. Releasing this book to the public is a dream come true!

It was definitely not an easy journey, a lot of hard work and dedication, sleepless nights and most of all, fears and a commitment to do it.

Fears are common and normal, but they don’t have to hold you back from writing your book. With support, encouragement, and the right mindset, you can overcome it all.

Of course we can’t succeed without the help of others. Through my journey I did meet wonderful people who were supportive of my vision and helped me through mentoring and advice. This book would not have been possible without the help of these people.

I want to thank David Müllerchen(GDE for Angular and Web Technologies) for reviewing this book, Aristeidis Bampakos(GDE for Angular) who helped me along the way from the start to the publication and the Packt family.

Special thanks to my family for the unconditional love and support, especially my parents.
