Hey friends! A question I get asked A LOT is “what do I post leading up to my book launch on Instagram?” SO I have been working on an *extensive* Canva template library specifically for promoting your book launch! Stay tuned for the release 😁

Things have been busy on my end with book events, meeting new families, and working on several behind-the-scenes projects that I hope to share with you all in the future. Sometimes it can feel like progress is slow when so much of the work happens where no one else can see it. But I’ve been reminded that God is in every step of the journey. He sees the preparation, the long days, the unanswered questions, and the small victories. Not every seed produces fruit overnight, but that doesn’t mean God isn’t working. If you’re in a season of building, waiting, learning, or simply trying to take the next step, keep going. Stay faithful with what is in front of you today. Trust that God is guiding the process, even when you cannot see the full picture yet. Keep planting. Keep serving. Keep trusting. ‘Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.’ — Proverbs 3:5-6

One of the biggest struggles I hear from clients and students is: "What do I post on Instagram?" Or... "I know I should be posting more, but I don't have time to create graphics from scratch." I've actually been talking through this idea with quite a few of my VIP members during our coaching calls, and every single one of them has loved it so far! Let's just say I'm building something that should make Instagram content creation A LOT easier, faster, and less overwhelming 😏 I'm also continuing to build out the new Choose Your Traffic System section so you can focus on the marketing strategies that actually fit your goals and lifestyle instead of trying to do everything at once. Lots of exciting things coming soon! 👉 If you're not already inside Author Growth Roadmap, now is a great time to join!

Hey friends! A lot of you have asked me how to get into contact with the Children’s Book Author community on Instagram. And most of you have had problems getting into that group chat on Instagram (because it’s managed by someone else). Soooooo, I’m thinking about starting a group chat over on Instagram for Author Support. What do you guys think? Should I start one?

How many of you have author websites, and which hosting platform did you use? Any do's and don'ts you would like to share?
