One thing I wish more new authors understood is that finishing the manuscript is a HUGE milestone…but it’s not the finish line. Before you hit Publish on Amazon KDP, you still need to think about: → Is the title clear and appealing to the right reader? → Does the cover fit what readers expect in your niche? → Are you using your 7 backend keyword boxes strategically? → Did you choose relevant categories? → Does your description actually make someone want to buy? → Is the interior formatted professionally? → Do you have any kind of plan for getting eyes on the book after it goes live? This is actually why I’m such a big believer in planning your book BEFORE you spend months writing it. You don't want to finish a book and then realize you never thought about how you were going to position or sell it. 💬 Where are YOU right now? A. Planning my book B. Writing it C.

I just finished my ebook upload. Debuting on September 20, 2026.

I’m going to be honest—I am NOT the best when it comes to creating children’s stories. 😂 And one of the biggest challenges I’ve heard people talk about over and over again is 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆. You create the perfect character... then suddenly on the next page they have a different face, different hair, different clothes, or basically look like an entirely different kid. 🤦‍♀️ Well... I’ve been working on a solution for that. 👀 I can’t share everything just yet because I have some pretty epic things happening behind the scenes that I think are going to make creating children’s books MUCH easier. But I’ve been testing the character consistency piece, and for this little experiment I decided to use my son and my dog as the characters in the story. 🥹🐶 And YES—I used AI to create them. So I want your HONEST opinion... 👇 What do you think of the characters? Would you be happy with this level of consistency in a children’s book? I’m very curious to hear what you guys think because your feedback might just help me with something I’m building behind the scenes. 😉

Let's take a moment to visualize your book's first 5-Star review! HERE'S THE PROMPT👇 (Attach Your Photo and Book Cover) Create an inspiring, realistic image of an aspiring author visualizing their future success. Show them looking at a laptop, tablet, or phone with an emotional, hopeful smile as they imagine seeing their future book on Amazon with a new five-star review. Include a book mockup or placeholder book cover on the screen with five gold stars and a reader review explaining how the book helped, entertained, or inspired them. Add subtle writing details like a notebook, coffee, laptop, or cozy writing space. The mood should feel motivating and emotional, showing hope, belief, validation, and future success as an author. Use natural lighting and a polished, visually appealing style.

Today I want to highlight @Dr. Shermnae Jones she is a Former Dentist · PMP-Certified · AI Strategist · Certified Master Life Coach... and now she can add AUTHOR to her list too! 😉 She came in, joined 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺, started creating coloring books… and loved what she was learning so much that she referred an incredible 𝟳𝟲 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 to our community last month! 🤯👏 That alone is impressive, but she didn’t stop there. She hasn’t created just one or two coloring books… She has already created 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥! 🎨📚 Her series is called 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻, designed to inspire and uplift women of color: ✨ 𝘌𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯: 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘔𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘴 ✨ 𝘌𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯: 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘍𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 🎄 𝘌𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯: 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘴 🎃 𝘌𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯: 𝘏𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 This is exactly what I love seeing in this community: learning something new, taking action, building a catalog, and then sharing the community with others along the way. Huge congratulations to @Dr. Shermnae Jones 🥳 Drop her some love in the comments, and if you’ve been thinking about creating your first coloring book, let this be your reminder that one book can quickly turn into a SERIES. 👏
