For next week's coaching call, I'd like to discuss what's working for authors right now. Was it Amazon Ads? A podcast? Library sales? Something else? Let me know below what's working for you, and pop in next Monday to join the crew!

Hey everyone! I've been scrolling and viewing some pasts few post and most post genuinely caught my attention because behind every meaningful piece of writing, there’s a deeper story, the spark that brought the idea to life, the personal experiences that shaped it, and the unseen challenges that come with turning imagination into something others can connect with. I was curious about your journey: when you began writing, did you expect the creative process to be the biggest challenge, or did you discover that building visibility and reaching the right audience became an entirely different chapter of the journey? I’ve been exploring how authors are creating stronger connections around their work, and I’ve noticed some fascinating patterns in how stories gain attention and build lasting relationships with readers. I’d genuinely love to hear your perspective, what’s one approach, lesson, or discovery that has made the biggest difference in your writing journey so far?

Hello everyone! My name is Tommy Boyd, and I’m an independent author from Toccoa, Georgia. My book, A Rough Patch: Living Through Fear, Faith, and Hope, shares my journey through serious heart problems, fear, recovery, and faith. I joined this community to learn better ways to reach readers and market my book on a limited budget. I’m also working toward an audiobook and planning my next book. I look forward to learning from everyone and connecting with other nonfiction authors. If God did it for me, He can do it for you.

How does one generate a QR Code for his book selling on Amazon? And the same book on a different website? I would like to put them on a poster at a gathering I’m currently attending and afterwards on a website. Thank you.

Here's the real story:
