FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[City, Date] — Author, counselor, and chronic illness advocate Marie Ciampa releases a bold and brilliant new book, THE SHIT PEOPLE SAY! WHAT NOT TO SAY TO PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS, tackling head-on the everyday ignorance, unsolicited advice, and casual cruelty faced by people living with invisible illnesses.
With equal parts razor-sharp wit and raw vulnerability, Ciampa draws from her own long journey through autoimmune disease to dismantle the toxic language and assumptions that often surround chronic health struggles. From “You don’t look sick!” to “Have you tried yoga?”—Marie highlights the absurdity and emotional impact of the comments that are meant to help but often hurt.
More than just a personal story, this book is a rallying cry for empathy, validation, and respectful dialogue. With chapters that are both hilarious and heart-wrenching, Ciampa reminds readers that people with chronic illnesses don’t need pity—they need to be believed, supported, and understood.
Whether you live with chronic illness yourself, love someone who does, or simply want to learn how to be a better human being, THE SHIT PEOPLE SAY! is essential reading. It’s a compassionate, no-holds-barred guide to what not to say—and what to say instead.
Now available through all major book retailers, this powerful work is already resonating with readers worldwide.
