For me, I’m happy to see January and 2019 arrive. So many new changes within AuthorYOU; many books to work on with authors; the annual Publishing at Sea cruise is one week away and I go on a writing retreat in two weeks.
For you, if you are in Colorado TODAY, here’s a live event for you to attend and learn from:
- The awesome kick off the new year on January 5th—it’s all about celebrations and author events with Mara Purl and myself. Register here at http://bit.ly/BookCelebrationMonth
Beginning in January, open public events will be on the first Saturday of the month. January is held at Smokey Hill Public Library.
- The next AuthorYOU Circles is slated for this Saturday, January 12th—starting at 8.30 AM and ending at 11.30 (I’ve got an airplane to catch at 2!—heading out to the annual Publishing at Sea conference—hello Caribbean!). Check it out at Meetup.com/AuthorYou AND, this is where you register (meaning join—it’s a freebie) to attend.
- There are two webinars next week—details are on the AuthorYOU.org website under Events. One is with Dan Janal on How to Write a Book FAST and the other is exclusive for paid-up AuthorYOU members only.
