Do you have a podcast show or wanted to be on a podcast? I want to grow my reach via my show. Looking for people to collaborate with. Here's my show in case you are interested in poking around...Thanks so much. https://podcast.rogermagalhaes.com/

*For Premium Author Lab Members* Today's training session was taking you through the 5 Phases of the map and working on building them out. Only Stella showed up and then by the time my slides were working she was gone .... so let's do it again another time. This is the map that you will be building out with me live when we do this training again (probably in July). :)

What we covered: - The industry is tightening: platforms like Draft2Digital are adding fees to combat low-quality “AI slop” and protect author credibility - Traditional publishers are investing in fewer authors, with things like book tours reserved for less than 5% of the authors - New discovery channels are emerging creating opportunities beyond Amazon - Being human remains the ultimate advantage and using AI wisely and not carelessly to create your book and platform is the winning approach - Bottom line: publishing a book isn’t enough anymore… positioning, audience, and strategy are everything Upcoming Events & Ways to Plug In Big Money Stages (In Person) 📅 May 1–2👉 https://bigmoneystages.com/ have a couple of VIP tickets available — message me if you want one Publishing University (PubU) 📅 May 14–16👉 https://www.publishinguniversity.org/ will be speaking Authority Business Blueprint Summit (Book Launchers Hosting - Virtual) 📅 June 24–25👉 https://book-to-business-system.lovable.app/ to attend live BookThinkers Live (Boston) 📅 July 11–12👉 https://www.bookthinkers.com/book-thinkers-live-2026 We will be there + I’m speaking Day 1 We do have tickets to give away - email us at team@booklaunchers.com

I just finished designing the front and back cover of my book. Was hoping you could give me some advice and opinions. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

I'm not ignoring all of you ... I'm in Ireland at the Global Leadership Conference for EO. In between sessions I took a trip to the Book of Kells (they are redoing it but the smell of books was strong!) and a walk down Temple Street. Hope you're all having a fabulous week! I'll be back at my desk for normal operations on April 27th. We will have our State of Publishing session at 2pm PST on Tuesday, April 28th and I'll be hosting training on the 29th on the 5 Phases of Authority. See you all then!! :)
