📚 My Amazon Author Page Is Finally Live!

Written By Jessica Gabrielzyk

After many emails, more patience than I expected, and what felt like forever… my official Amazon Author Page is finally live! 🎉

It took time to get approved, but we made it — and I’m so excited to finally share this little corner of the internet with you.

🌍 One Author, Four Languages

My author bio is now available in four languages — because writing for a global audience means meeting readers where they are:

  • Portuguese (my native language 🇧🇷)

  • English (my main working language 🌎)

  • Spanish (for the incredible Latinx readers 🇪🇸)

  • French (because I live in Switzerland — and love the sound of words 🇫🇷)

This multilingual presence isn’t just a detail. It reflects the life I live — and the themes I write about: motherhood abroad, identity, adaptation, and belonging.

📘 What You’ll Find on My Page:

On my Amazon Author Page, you can:

✅ Follow my releases (like Maternity Abroad)

✅ Read multilingual bios and book summaries

✅ Add the page to your favorites for updates

✅ Leave reviews — which really help indie authors like me!

💬 Why It Matters

Having an official author page on Amazon is symbolic. It’s more than just a link — it’s a home for my books, a bridge to new readers, and a milestone in this journey of publishing stories for those living between cultures.

Here is a random thought.

I find it funny every time I explain to a new author that Parenting Unpacked went through five versions before I found the one. Five versions, not five edits.

The Publishing Industry Prices Itself Out of Reach (And Why I Won't)

I buy books myself. I know what it feels like to look at a price and hesitate. Books are not like videos.

I Went to Coffee with an Expat Looking for a Mentor. Here Is What Happened.

I have been on a search for a mentor. The vira-lata move of assuming nobody would bother to teach me. The ten steps ahead brain that forgot to ask for directions. I went into that meeting with my antennae fully extended. Someone in here might be my knight in shining armour.

The Book That Was Not There When I Needed It
The Book That Was Not There When I Needed It

Every pregnancy book I read before my daughter was born told me what to pack in my hospital bag. None of them told me that not understanding how health insurance works in a foreign country would cost me close to ten thousand euros.

A friend here in Switzerland asked me the other day if I have someone bigger than me in the industry who can be my mentor. I said no. I am usually the mentor. What I did not say, because I was still figuring it out, is why.

Does Exhaustion Feel the Same Everywhere?

Research confirms that exhaustion is experienced and expressed differently depending on culture. Brazilian Portuguese has a phrase for it: tô morta de cansaço. Dead from tiredness. Not dead-ish. Dead.

I have been watching presentations. The ones that stayed with me were not the ones with the best slides. They were the ones where someone stood up, looked at the room, and just talked. So I made a decision.

Jessica Gabrielzyk

Jessica Gabrielzyk is a Brazilian writer living in Switzerland. She moved there with her husband and daughter, who was three months old at the time and had strong opinions about the whole thing even then.

She writes about change.

The visible kind and the kind that happens inside a person, while everything on the outside looks fine.

Her first book, Maternity Abroad, explored what it means to become a mother far from the system you trusted. It has reached readers in more than fifteen countries across five continents. Parenting Unpacked, her second book, follows the experience of parenting through major life disruption, whether that's an international move, a career loss, a new baby, or a life that simply stops responding the way it used to. My First American Coloring Book was created to help toddlers engage with daily life in the United States through play and familiar imagery.

She is a member of SIETAR, the Society for Intercultural Education, Training and Research, and the International Academy of Brazilian Literature.

She writes for the parent who is still inside it, getting through the day, and wondering somewhere underneath all of it who they are becoming.

When she is not writing, she is walking forty minutes uphill with a stroller, telling herself the exercise is the point.
