We old subscribers know how momentous this occasion is. So proud and happy for you! 🎭 🥰 I never got to read it, but last year I watched the entire musical when it was uploaded on youtube by the legitimate theatre company. It was breathtaking, made me cry.

Who would’ve thought that when little 3rd grade Emma picked up Phantom of the Opera that she would author a foreword for that very book as an adult 💕💕 dreams do come true ✨

This is why we annotate!!! Cause there could be a chance we receive the honor to write an introduction of our favorite book !!!!

I had no idea accomplishments of someone i've never met or known personally could make me this happy and proud. Congratulations, Emma! ♥️

Emmie: "I just submitted my forward to the publishing people..." Me: I just purchased the book and now I'm waiting by my PO Box.

This is so awesome Emma! You've now officially done more for this book than Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Congratulations, Emma. Always knew from when I first began watching your videos that you'd be a writer whose work is valued. Wonderful that it's begun for you already. Brava. We your fans are all proud of you and happy for you.

You are a gifted writer Emma.The sound of heaven will be silently reading this beautiful foreword.And who knows,I may even like the book?Thank you so much!❤️

Congratulations Emma, you have hit a huge milestone. Listening to fractions of your introduction made me really nostalgic about the time when I read this book eons ago.

I open KZread during my lunch break today and saw the title of this video. You won't believe how happy and proud I felt! It feels like my daughter's accomplishment. This is an incredible opportunity for you. Enjoy it and hopefully it is the first of many great things to come.

I FEEL SO HAPPY & PROUD OF YOU!!😭 you deserve it Emma!!🤍 AAAH

This is such an amazing and special thing Emma!! You've always known of your love of the book, and getting to write the foreword for one of your favorite books is such an honorable thing! Congratulations 💕 can't wait to get my hands on the copy!!

congratulations emma!!!! as a subscriber whos been here for some time now i know how much you love phantom of the opera. SO DESERVED!!! you're so talented

I've been wanting to read this book this year, so I'm excited to get this addition with your foreword! Congrats! Also thank you for not giving spoilers in the foreword, I hate that too!

The excitement I felt just reading the title... I'm so happy for you Emma!

I’m barely at one fifth of the video and I’m already bursting out in tears of joy for you. I’m so happy for you Emma!

as a long time follower and fan (of both you and phantom) this is such a momentous happening! I’m screaming- I’m so happy for and proud of you! Love you and congratulations!! ❤️✨

C'est tres cool! Felicitations, Emma. A great way to start the day, seeing your joy. I *love* that part when you're in your room, you look at the camera, and the Phantom music starts. That deadpan expression is priceless.

Your love of Phantom of the Opera, and the other gothic classics, is so inspiring - I have brought 4 of them through Augmented Classics. Living down under in NZ means a) shipping was ridiculous, and b) I won't get them for ages, but I just couldn't resist after seeing this video! Excited to be reading these gothic classics very soon!!

Emma - congratulations! What a fantastic achievement! You deserve it 😁😊

This is so amazing Em! so proud of you ❤️❤️❤️

I am so happy to watch you dive into this novel. It’s my favorite everything- book, musical, movie, the works! I love this story so much. Thanks for getting more eyes on it, and Congratulations!

Congratulations, Emma ❤️! A small part of your dream came true with this project❤️. I would love watching more writing vlogs from you . They are so soothing and it's great hearing your thoughts.

OMG EMMA!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! I'm so glad your sincere thoughtful words are now part of The Phantom of the Opera's textual life🖤🖤

So ridiculously excited, proud and happy for you! 🥺 You go Emma, that was an absolute delight! I can only imagine how intimidating that must have been for you, but you did it!!! 👏👏👏 Aaaaah man, what a moment

As a fellow lover of books, reading and writing, who also has post-concussion syndrome, I understand. I know this was posted a while back, but I tuned in because I just finished my first read of Phantom of the Opera and wanted to hear what you had to say. Best wishes 💜

I literally started crying happy tears for you! This is so exciting 🥰

I'm really, really happy for you, Emma! I am halfway through your vlog, at 20 minute-ish mark, precisely, but I can't resist to comment. I'm so proud of what you have achieved - writing is not an easy feat! You are the most eloquent person (regarding books, particularly) I have ever come across, with extensive vocabulary and crystal clear speech. I am sure that it will be displayed through your writing as well. I''m preparing for graduate school application and will sit for two examinations next month (October) so once I am done with all the hectic grad school stuff I'm going to pick a copy of Phantom of the Opera. I hope that the panini (you know what it actually is) will lessen so I can easily place an international order again, and buy the one with your foreword! I have never read or seen Phantom of the Opera but I love opera performances pertaining to the story. I also went to Paris once and saw the majestic Opéra Garnier myself. I always thought "breath-taking" sounds a little bit excessive, but I cannot find any other word to describe how beautiful and hypnotizing the building is. I am obsessed with so many things related to Phantom of the Opera! I am sure that I will be enamored with the actual story that has inspired those majestic artworks and performances. Thank you so much for introducing us non-lit students to so many amazing books, including Phantom of the Opera!! Much love, French Toast 😇

I'M SO FREAKING PROUD OF YOU EMMA 😭 !!!!! You deserve this and so much more. I'm literally squealing across the screen rn, AHHH CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!

That is amazing! I read The Phantom of the Opera earlier this year and loved it. I will definitely have to order this edition at some point to add to my shelf. Congratulations yet again!

Congratulations! I know exactly what you mean about finally/formally writing about something that you've talked about for a long time. In my case it was a book about movies that was published earlier this year. I felt a lot of pressure to really dig through and coalesce my thoughts about a particular piece, and a huge sense of accomplishment once it was completed (after many drafts).

The little part you read was amazing!! 🤩

Congrats Emmie 💛

This even made me more excited to read, the phantom of the opera, and I am also happy for youuu

Congratulations, Emma!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
