Good Authoring Day to YOU …
… And Happy Saturday to you!
On Wednesday, several members of the Friendly Friday Author Coaching group gathered at my home for a schmoozing and eating evening. Fun to see so many in-person vs our regular Zoom platform. Lots of laughter and stories wove throughout my deck.
Today, many of the authors from the AuthorYOU community gather at the Colorado Blvd. Barnes & Noble store for an all-day Book Fair that supports the author scholarships to be awarded in September.
And Sunday … will be my day to put together the workbook for the Book Publishing Unplugged that will be held next Saturday.
Planning my LIVE for Book Publishing Unplugged … let’s get on board… it’s happening soon and a combo of online and in-person. Are you there, too?
It’s Caturday … have you mastered the 4 Cs to author success: clarity of who you are writing for and the use of your words; confidence—the belief in yourself and what your write; competence in your publishing; and a commitment to support your work?
That’s me for this Saturday … how about you … what are you up to?
It’s Caturday … have you mastered the perfect pitch for you and your book? This is a good time to work on yours and put it into action.
That’s me for this Saturday … how about you … what are you up to?
Friday mornings are the place to be with other authors! I love the Friday coaching that happens early each Friday AM. I always have a “new tip” for the group that I lead with—a “show and tell how to do ‘it’ … whatever ‘it’ is, then it opens up to “catch up” and “asks”. Become a subscriber so you can get Friday Coaching for only $37 a month for VIP AuthorYOU members, $75 for non-members—limited number of subscribers allowed. We gather viz Zoom at 7 AM.
