What an incredible chock-full of information event. For those who did not attend, I highly recommend you purchase the replay. The fact that you are in this group is an indication that you will absolutely find a great deal to enlighten and guide you toward your goal. Thank you to Julie and her team and the panelists for giving us this gift. My only challenge is to figure out the additions/updates in the 2nd edition of Self-Publish & Succeed LOL.

Hey all - got a interesting email from the Metro Philadelphia Book Club about featuring my book for their next book period. Can't find much on it and wondering if any of you have dealt with or know about them. Sounds interesting, but fishy. AND...the note was sent to an email of mine NOT connected with the book. ISO any thoughts!

Where are my Author Launch Kit users hiding? Even if you haven’t jumped into the software yet, you’ll want to know about the powerhouse training our very own @Shane Vigeant has been rolling out. And guess what—there’s another one happening TODAY at 12pm PST: 👉 How to Find Your Readers Join live here: BookLaunchers.tv Shane’s been on fire with these sessions. A couple of weeks ago he broke down how to promote your book on social media, and if you missed that one, catch the replay here: Watch Now. And if you’re not using Author Launch Kit yet… what are you waiting for? Snag your one-year or lifetime license and get the tools + training that help authors actually sell books, not just write them.

I submitted my Copyright office application today, as well as my Library of Congress app (for LCCN), and also "assigned" my ISBNs in my Bowker account... 🛬 Had those on the "near publication" part of my pre-launch plan for months, and now was the time! It's great checking off so many items on my list as I near the end of "pre-publication" and approach actual "publication"! So exciting! 😊 It's been really great having y'all on this journey with me. We've got a pretty special community here, @Julie Broad ! Thanks for creating this space for us authors to connect and help each other out! 🫶

I've got Elissa, who runs our Books Hub, coming on to help me with Tuesday's livestream. We're going to discuss several factors that can cause your book to be flagged by KDP. We have had it happen with new uploads and with revisions after a book has been out for awhile. It should be a great session. It's at 1pm PST (not the normal time of 2pm PST). https://youtube.com/live/PBmRUvrGASc
