Free webinar on Post-Publication Presence: How to Stay Visible Without Burning Out!
Hey authors! Our friend Karlyn Ankrom from Oh Snap! Social had a webinar this week on all things social media. And she is allowing me to include the link here in case anyone wants to check it out! Check it out if you want to: - Turn one page of your book into different pieces of content, in about ten minutes - Stop wondering whether you're "posting too much about the book" (you're not) - Have a weekly rhythm that doesn't depend on feeling inspired - Keep your message reaching new readers long after launch week As a bonus, you'll actually finish the hour with at least 2-4 pieces of content written, not just notes. Very cool webinar and we love Karlyn. Check it out here: https://expertexcellenceengine.com/ppp-replay It's only available until Tuesday the 6th so view while you can. :)

Thanks, Sarah for sharing - listening now. From my IP using Scene - Lesson - CTA sounds simple enough and can generate a number of postings. Interesting concept.
Looking for offset printers
Hello all - I am for the first time, thinking of using an offset printer for my new book. I know I will have to order perhaps a few hundred or more in order to generate a price point I am looking for. Can anyone recommend one that they have used - and do they have an online calculator for knowing qty/options/price? Thanks much. Kevin

@K J - this is your chance to be recognized to become famous all and to win $100,000. And it only costs $200,000 plus your first born to do... You might have better luck buying that bridge in Brooklyn! All the best.

@K J Gas is high - but I just filled my wife's car the other day and it was still 50 cents less/gal than what the top price I paid under Biden - and I'm in NYS! It is high and unfortunately causes most other prices to rise too.

Hooks
I am having trouble coming up for a hook for my book. It's about an Army Chaplain that was stationed with the 101st Airborne Division and that deployed to Afghanistan both times he was stationed with the 101st.

@Marc Gwin First off - welcome to the group. Now you do not provide much detail here - but going back to my corporate days - I wonder if the hook might be hiding in the WHY, WHAT and HOW of his story rather than simply in the fact that he was an Army chaplain who served twice in Afghanistan. I’d dig into WHY he chose the chaplaincy and ultimately a life that could take him into combat. Was there a calling, an event, a person, or a turning point that put him on that path? WHY did he go back as you mentioned he was deployed to Afghanistan - 2 times? What did he know after the first deployment that he didn't know before it? Was the second deployment simply his assignment, or did he have a choice? If he had a choice, what made him willing to return to a place where he already knew the risks and realities of combat? Was it duty, calling, loyalty to the soldiers, unfinished business, or something else entirely? Then there’s the WHAT: what happened during those deployments that changed him? Was there an “Oh my God” moment, such as a soldier he never forgot, a loss he can't forget/forgive, a crisis of faith, or an experience that fundamentally changed how he viewed his ministry and the people he served? And then I’d really explore the HOW: how did those experiences affect him when he came home? How did they affect his marriage, family, relationships, faith, and ministry? What did his family see in him that perhaps he didn’t see in himself? And ultimately, what does he want to leave behind as his legacy? The Hook is so important - crafted with few words - each one trying not to become the weakest link in the chain. I wish you much success.
