𝗪𝗘 𝗛𝗜𝗧 #𝟮𝟱! First, I just want to say 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝘂𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲. I truly didn’t expect us to get this far this quickly. In fact, when I decided to close the group to new free members, I thought it might slow things down a little… but you proved me completely wrong. 😂 The group has actually been showing up 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿. Engagement is going up, conversations are growing, and people are continuing to comment, share, support each other, and bring real value into the community. Because of all of that, we just hit another huge milestone: #𝟮𝟱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆! 🎉 At this point, I don’t really have a specific reason why we 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 to hit Top 20… but now I’m curious. 😂 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟮𝟬?

I don't know if you saw, but Krista is running an incredible deal right now on her community, and I just joined her premium tier. I joined for one primary reason: Krista knows what she is doing. Keep in mind that I'm already a successful publisher and author on Amazon. But that matters to me much less than surrounding myself with capable and competent people like Krista. Of course, the Premium tier comes with a lot of other really amazing perks too that you should absolutely take advantage of. You might also notice a little cloverleaf by my name, which means I have a top 5% community on Skool, so I know what a great community looks like, and this is it! And you know I'm telling the truth because I haven't put anyone in this community on an affiliate code, which means I stand to gain nothing from this post except to help the over 1,700 of you that want to level up their publishing game. If you've been putting off getting started in this business, or if you started half-assed and you're ready to take it seriously, then you need to commit to the next level. Krista will get there.

Thanks to everyone who jumped in to watch the coloring book training video. 🖍️ The video has now been removed, and it is in the premium tier. 💬 My DMs have been flooded with KDP questions lately ... everything from uploading files and fixing errors to figuring out what to do next in the publishing process. I absolutely want to help, but as the community continues to grow, I have to reserve more of my time, hands-on support, and additional training for my Premium members. At the same time, I've been hearing something else in my DMs: budget matters. 👉 My regular Premium rate is $40/month, so I decided to do something different through Sunday. Through Sunday ONLY, you can join Premium for $20/month — 50% off the regular rate. Or, if you want to go annual, you can join for $240/year and I'll also include a Ready-to-Publish Coloring Book ($150 value) as your bonus. So you have two options: $20/month — Premium membership $240/year — Premium membership + Ready-to-Publish Coloring Book If you've been needing more support with publishing, have questions about KDP, or want access to my Premium trainings and resources, this is your chance to upgrade at a much lower rate. The deal ends Sunday. Join Premium and choose the option that works best for you. ❤️ 👉 REMINDER: The standard tier of this community will be going to paid on September 1st.

I wanted to share a special opportunity from @Elizabeth O'Carroll ... A quick bit about me—I’m an author and publisher at Celestar Publishing LLC. Beyond my own books and author journey, my current passion project is The Myloh Project 🐟😅🌊💙! As a fellow author, I know firsthand how crucial book exposure and cross-promotion are—especially in the self-publishing and KDP space. That’s why I host author interviews to help authors highlight their books, share the inspiration behind their writing, and connect with new readers! Thanks to the generous support of Krista, I’m offering this interview feature 100% FREE exclusively to members of this KDP PUBLISHING community! ⭐⭐⭐ 👉 HOW IT WORKS No fees—just pure author reciprocity! We’ll have a fun, relaxed chat about your KDP journey and your book, and all I ask in return is that you share the finished interview with your own network. Where your interview will be featured: 🎬 YouTube Channel: Gimme 5 Book Reviews & Author Interviews 🎙️ Podcast Platforms: Gimme 5 Book Review Podcast (Audio-only on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms) How to claim your free feature: Send me a message right here on Skool, reach out via my author website, or connect through our YouTube channel. 📌 Important: Please put "KDP-Pub" in the subject line or in your message so I know you came from Krista’s KDP Publishing group! Looking forward to hearing about your books and helping you get more eyes on your KDP launches! 🚀📖
