Grab this prompt and share your results 👇 (give it your photo) Create a personalized vertical infographic called “My Author Journey” based on what you already know about me from our previous conversations. Think about everything you know about me specifically as an author, writer, publisher, or creative person. Choose 5 interesting or meaningful things that help tell my story as an author. These can be anything that stands out about my journey — what I write about, why I write, what inspires me, my experiences as an author, my creative process, challenges I’ve worked through, how I connect with readers, lessons I’ve learned, how I approach publishing or marketing, what I’m currently exploring, or where I hope to go next. Do not follow a predetermined set of categories. Instead, look at what you actually know about me and decide which 5 things make my author story interesting. Every author’s infographic should be different based on their individual journey. Do not invent information. Only use things you genuinely know about me from our conversations. If you don’t know enough about my author journey to create something meaningful, ask me a few simple questions first. Keep the infographic simple, personal, and highly visual. Use a maximum of 5 sections or callouts. Each section should contain only a short headline, interesting fact, statistic if relevant, or 1–2 short sentences. Don’t feel obligated to include things like book sales, royalties, number of books published, or other publishing statistics. Include those only if they genuinely stand out as an important part of that particular author’s story. Use illustrations, icons, symbols, writing elements, or other visual details to help tell the story instead of relying on lots of text. If I provide a photo, incorporate it naturally into the design. Make the design feel personal to the author. Use what you know about their personality, writing style, interests, audience, or creative journey to inspire the overall look and feel.

I'm considering offering something completely different inside the community. Instead of just teaching you how to create a coloring book from scratch... What if I did all the work for you? I'm talking about a completely finished, ready-to-publish coloring book that includes: ✅ 50 unique coloring pages ✅ A professional cover ✅ Keyword research ✅ Optimized title, subtitle, and Amazon book description ✅ Backend keyword recommendations ✅ Category recommendations ✅ Print-ready files that are ready to upload to Amazon KDP Here's the catch... Every coloring book would be 100% exclusive. Once someone purchases it, that exact book is gone forever and will never be sold to another customer. I would choose each topic based on proven demand, so you wouldn't have to spend hours researching niches or creating the book yourself. I'm thinking of pricing these at $150 for the first five books I create as an introductory launch. After that, future exclusive releases would increase to $197. Before I start building these, I want to know if there's enough interest. If this is something you'd seriously consider purchasing, comment "INTERESTED" below. If enough people are interested, I'll start creating the first exclusive releases.

It's been a while since I shared this, and we have a lot of new faces in here. So, let's do something fun and let AI suggest your next read. (The image is the one that AI suggested for me...)

Also, pull in an image of the cover and give me 5 reasons I need to read this book.

🎉 Big audiobook news! The other day I received an email from ACX letting me know that one of my audiobooks was selected for the August Monthly Deal! That means Audible is featuring it at a discounted price throughout the month. I'm especially excited because this isn't my first time being selected. The last time one of my audiobooks was included in a Monthly Deal, I saw a noticeable increase in downloads, which translated into additional Audible royalty income. It's always fun to see one of your backlist titles get a fresh wave of visibility. One thing to know is that this isn't something you can apply for. ACX/Audible selects the titles they want to feature, and while they don't publicly share the exact criteria, being an established, professionally produced audiobook with strong listener appeal and solid performance can help put your title in the running. Ultimately, the editorial team makes the final selections. Moments like this are a great reminder that publishing isn't always about launching something brand new. Sometimes a book you've already created gets a second chance to reach new listeners and generate additional income months—or even years—after publication. 🎧 Question for my fellow authors: - Do you currently have an audiobook on Audible? - Have you ever had one of your titles selected for an ACX/Audible Monthly Deal? I'd love to hear what kind of results you saw!
