• Upcoming Abu Dhabi International Book Fair chosen as launchpad for Uncharted Waters

UAE, April 23 2024: UAE-based second time author, Julie M Lewis, has chosen the upcoming Abu Dhabi International Book Fair as the global launch pad for her latest book, Uncharted Waters.

The title is a metaphor for stepping into unfamiliar, unknown, and unexplored territory providing the perfect channel for Julie – an acclaimed explorer and an expert on resilience, natural wellbeing, and strength-based leadership - to offer practical guidelines in the navigation of everyday realities.

The cross-genre page turner carries the sub-title 'discover your hidden depths' in a nod to Julie's belief that water holds the answers to many of life's challenges, and she should know as she attempted the English Channel open-water swim in 2018.

Indeed, each of the 300 pages is punctuated with lived experiences as Julie, a sought-after keynote speaker, elegantly weaves stories plucked from the centre of business, community, and family.

This makes Uncharted Waters a flexible read as it is integrating autobiographical storytelling with workshop-style actions.

Throughout Julie offers gripping, often profound insights to encourage self-reflection in leadership and life. The book also features QR codes to meditations and videos to encourage interaction and practice, alongside ample opportunity for the reader to journal.

A pre-launch book reviewer described Uncharted Waters as 'a compass to a more fulling and connected life...'.

Uncharted Waters will launch at the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair, known as a hub of opportunity for prolific creators, creatives, and reading fans, on April 29th, 2024. The Fair runs until May 5 and Julie will be present most days.
