As someone who went through these steps, I can only encourage you to tell yourself “It’s possible and I can do it.” Publishing The Bilingual Revolution has opened so many doors to me, and brought so many rewarding exchanges with people over the world. If you have a how-to book in mind, a dissertation, an essay that can help families and communities around the world, consider this opportunity!
