Formatting your book doesn't have to be expensive. One of the questions I get asked the most is, "What should I use to format my book?" In this video, I break down the only 3 formatting tools I recommend depending on the type of book you're publishing—whether it's a journal, planner, coloring book, nonfiction book, or novel. Hopefully, this helps you choose the right tool and saves you both time and money on your publishing journey. ➡️ Let me know in the comments: Which formatting software are you currently using?

🌮 Taco bout Your Book Tuesday 📖 This is an open invitation to talk about your book. 👉 If you already have a book published, feel free to share about the book. 🔗 Links are OK. 👉 If you're working on a book, share about what you're working on and where you're at in the process.

What Commitment Are You Making to Yourself? 📚 Let me ask you something... If you joined this community earlier this year—or even last year—with the goal of publishing a book in 2026... Have you actually taken the first step yet? If the answer is no, today is a great day to hold yourself accountable. I get it. You're busy running your business, serving clients, managing your family, and trying to keep up with everything else life throws at you. By the end of the day, working on your book can feel like just one more thing on an already overwhelming to-do list. But here's what I want you to remember: A published book isn't just another project. It's a warm lead generator. 💰It's another income stream. It's an asset that can continue working for you long after you hit "Publish." Earlier this week, I shared a post about a book generating more than $3 million per month on Amazon. No, that's not a typical outcome, and I never want anyone to expect that. The lesson was much simpler: A book you never publish can't change someone's life... and it can't earn you a single dollar. The only thing standing between where you are today and becoming a published author is consistent action. So here's your challenge: 👉 Jump into the Future Author Energy course inside the classroom. It's completely free and will help you: ✅ Get clear on who your book is for ✅ Understand the problem you're solving ✅ Define the transformation you'll create for your readers Once you're clear on your message, writing your book becomes so much easier. Make the commitment to yourself today. Your future readers are waiting for a book that only you can write. 👇 Drop a comment below with one thing you'll accomplish for your book this week. Let's hold each other accountable.

One of the questions almost every first-time author asks is: "Do I need to buy an ISBN?" The answer is... not necessarily. If you're publishing your first paperback on Amazon, Amazon actually provides a free ISBN, which is a great option if your goal is simply to get your book published and start learning the process. On the other hand, purchasing your own ISBN gives you more flexibility if you're planning to publish on multiple platforms, build your own publishing brand, or expand into bookstores and libraries. The important thing to remember is this: Your ISBN shouldn't be the reason your book stays unpublished. Too many authors get stuck trying to make every decision "perfect" before they ever click the Publish button. Progress beats perfection every time. 📚 Inside my Publishing Playbooks, I break down: - When Amazon's free ISBN makes sense - When it's worth buying your own - Where to purchase one - How to choose the best option for your publishing goals 💥 Through the end of this month, all four Publishing Playbooks are on sale for just $15 (normally $27). If you've been looking for a step-by-step guide to answer the questions that pop up during self-publishing, now is a great time to grab them.
