Good Authoring Day to YOU …
… And Happy Saturday to you!
Today is all about book marketing and fine-tuning the author’s social media outreach and strategies in my Book Marketing & Social Media Unplugged—all day online.
It was with a deep sense of gratitude that The Secret Journey was handed over for layout this past week—a year of writing and rewrites and “done” was finally declared.
Plus the close out of the Publishing at Sea January event. Lot’s happening.
It’s Caturday … Fall time is at the heart of bookselling. What are your plans?
That’s me for this Saturday—tomorrow is working with a writing client stating at 8 am and in the afternoon, polishing my fiction book co-written with Brian Barnes—next week, it’s layout time … 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.
