🎉 I am SO proud to announce that Hayley has just been promoted to Team Leader!

Hayley joined us as a supply teacher and mum who simply loves books — and honestly? She has absolutely smashed it.

In her own words:

"I signed up because I love books and wanted something which could top up my income. Once I had achieved two of the milestones, I decided that I wanted to keep going — I've spent a lot of time contacting people who might want to join, arranging stalls at events and contacting schools for the new school year. As a teacher, I already have lots of contacts in schools which has been really useful!"

And this is the bit that makes my heart sing 💛

"The best thing about it for me is that it is something that I enjoy and it works for me and my family. My children have enjoyed coming along to events with me and recently helped me hide books for a book hunt. Going forward, I'd love to be able to do this full time!"

Hayley — you have put in the work, had all the conversations, shown up consistently, and THIS is what happens. So incredibly well deserved. 📚

Her top tip? "Just go for it! And spend time having lots of conversations with people — you never know where it might take you!"

Wise words from a brand new Team Leader! 👏

If Hayley's story resonates with you — if you love books, want flexible income, and like the idea of building something that fits around your family — I'd love to chat.

No pressure, no hard sell. Just a conversation.

This stopped me in my tracks.

Children who read for just 20 minutes a day are exposed to nearly 2 MILLION words a year.

Children who read for only 1 minute a day? Around 8,000.

That's not a small gap. That's an enormous difference in vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence — all stacking up quietly in the background every single day.

20 minutes. That's a car journey. A bath. Bedtime.

Is your child getting their 20 minutes? 👇

Twelve years ago, I joined Usborne because I wanted cheap books for my kids. 😅

That's the truth.

I wasn't looking for a business. I wasn't an entrepreneur. I just loved books and thought, why not?

Fast forward to now and I've built one of the top-ranked Usborne Community Partnership businesses in the country. A nationwide team. Schools, events, book fairs, and a community I'm genuinely proud of.

I tell you this not to brag, but because I want you to know it doesn't start with big plans. It starts with a small step.

If you love books and want something flexible that fits real life, I'd love to chat.

Starter Kit is just £48. That's it.

Right, I have to share this because I am SO excited about it! 🎉

If you're a Bounty member (or even if you're not — it's completely free and takes two minutes to join!), there is a brand new exclusive offer just for you...

You can join my team as an Independent Partner for just £38 using the code BOUNTY10. That's £10 off the normal price of £48, and honestly? It's one of the best reasons to get started that I've seen in my 11+ years of doing this.

I know how many of you are looking for something flexible — something that fits around kids and life and all the chaos that comes with it. This is genuinely that. You get to share beautiful books you already love, work your own hours, and build something that's actually yours.

I joined for the cheap books. I stayed because it changed everything. 🙌

The offer is only available to UK-based Bounty subscribers and runs until 30th September 2026 — so if this has been on your radar, NOW is your moment.

👆 This is me. And this could be you too.

I didn't set out to become a bookseller. I joined Usborne because I wanted cheap books for my kids. Eleven years later, it's become so much more than that.

If you've ever wondered what it actually looks like to run a flexible book business around family life, I'm happy to chat.

No script. No pressure. Just a real conversation.
