I am so grateful for this group. You all keep showing up, breaking barriers, supporting each other, and helping us hit milestone after milestone. It’s the engagement happening here that keeps people coming back. I never want this to become a community that simply creates more noise. My goal is to balance 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 with opportunities to keep things light, fun, and interactive so we can continue building real connection and collaboration. And a BIG shoutout to @Loretta Wells — thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for the community! ❤️ Reviews make a huge difference in helping other authors discover what we’re building here. That is also one of the reasons I’m currently running the 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗨𝗽𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲. I know many of you originally joined this community as free members, and I truly appreciate you being here and contributing. The one disconnect is that free members aren’t able to leave a community review. So for a limited time, you can upgrade to the 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 $𝟰𝟵 and also get access to the 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗞𝗶𝘁 I created to help both authors working through the publishing process and those looking for an easier way to market their books. ⚠️ 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟳𝘁𝗵. Only members who upgrade during this promotion will receive access to the Author Success Kit with their Standard membership. And if you’re already a 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿, you already have access to the kit. 💛 Thank you again for continuing to show up, participate, share your wins, ask questions, and help make this community what it is.

Well, this is something I definitely didn’t see coming! 😂 Our August Referral Race officially ended in a TIE between @Jen Pm and @Dr. Shermnae Jones — with 76 referrals EACH! 🤯👏 I absolutely love how competitive this race became, and more importantly, how many new people were introduced to our community because members were willing to share it. So… I’m not breaking the tie. They BOTH win! 🎉 Each of these ladies will receive a 7-day pinned post here in the community where they can highlight their books, community, business, or anything else they’d like more visibility on. Huge congratulations to both of you!! 🥳 And thank you to EVERYONE who participated in August’s referral race. Every single referral helped this community grow and played a part in the momentum we’re seeing right now. ❤️ Drop a congratulations below for our TWO August Referral Race winners!
