Planning & Introduction to 2026- Mark your Calendars!

WOW! Where in the HECK did 2025 go?

I can't believe how quickly we have gotten to these last moments of 2025.

You voted and I'm setting it up. Starting next Friday, we will be meeting on Fridays at 10:30 am.

Hopefully, this allows more of you to schedule in the live calls as that's where the magic and collaboration happen and we'd love to see your smiling (or not- we're here for you) faces.

🗣 January 9 is a special 2-hour planning party- grab your comfy clothes and some drinks.

10:30-12:30

Attached is a 2025 End of Year Review and Reflection workbook. We will be going through the beginning review and reflection sections together. I will also be giving you more of an update on all the exciting things I'm getting together for you as well as what I'm seeing for the publishing world ahead. This is the thinking, brainstorming, dreaming portion of the planning.

🗣 January 16 Putting it All Together

This is when we will grab the Authors Allies Planner (or pages attached) and plug in how the planning and dreaming from Jan 9 will manifest to reality. Basically, up to page 11. If you'd like a printed, bound version for the year, you can order that here. Just FYI, it's not Amazon so it takes a couple weeks to get to you. https://www.lulu.com/shop/rebecca-paciorek/2026-marketing-promotions-planner-authors-allies/paperback/product-gj9nenv.html?page=1&pageSize=4

🗣 January 23 Kicking it up for February

We will do the February-specific planning. This will include copies of the February proposed social media posts and graphics I will have for you.

🗣 January 30 Q&A and Tech Day

Do you have specific tech you want to tackle out of the gate next year? Let me know below. Otherwise, I will feel us out at the above meetings and either answer in-person questions or have a training prepared.

🎉 BONUS THINGS TO LOOK FOR: 🎉

I believe

@Lisa David

is planning a Sunday afternoon crafting session.

@Arden Coutts

will be hosting some co-writing times.

I will be doing some pop-up co-working times.

I'm also hoping to plan an in-person meetup for locals. (weather permitting)
