Hi Krista and hi everybody! This is Michael Teferi again! I have a new third poetry book that is completely finished, and I am currently writing my fourth poetry book as we speak.

If you don’t yet have a book listed in our Community Book Directory, the good news is that this is a completely free opportunity available to community members! I also want to apologize if you previously reached out to have your book added and I didn’t get a chance to update the directory. As the community has grown, keeping up with submissions manually became a little challenging—but I recently made a big improvement to the process! I built an AI agent using Claude that can now help automatically process submissions and update the book directory. 🤖 This should make it much easier and faster to keep the directory current while giving more of our authors an opportunity to showcase their work. To help ensure that all authors in the community have an opportunity to gain visibility, please limit your submission to one book per author. Choose the book you would most like the community to discover! Ready to get your book featured? Fill out the submission form below, and your book will be added to the directory. 👇 🔗 Submit Your Book Here 📚💜

Thanks @Lesley Christine for trusting me to do the shoppable video review of your book The Game of Life and How to Play It. If anyone else currently has a published book and would like a shoppable video... For the month of July 🇺🇸, I'm running this promotion for just 💰$50 (this includes the cost of me ordering your book). The price will be going up after this month, so if you want a spotlight in the community and on Amazon, now's the time to grab your spot. A quick note on what this actually is: A shoppable video is not the same as a customer review. It won't add another review to your book. Instead, it tags a video directly to your book's description page on the desktop experience. It can also earn placements on other pages across Amazon, which means more traffic and more eyes finding their way to your book. 👉 ORDER YOUR BOOK INFLUENCER REVIEW VIDEO HERE

Most of us in this community are authors, or aspiring authors—and fellow community member @John Elcik has put together an incredible series of books that explores the relationship between the author, the publishing journey, and the readers we hope to impact. His series offers plenty of thought-provoking insights and encourages authors to think differently about their craft, their message, and the connection they build with their audience. If you'd like to support John, you can grab the ebook bundle on Amazon for just $6.99. 👉GET THE BOOK NOW ON AMAZON He's also looking for members to join his launch team, where you'll get early access to upcoming books and have the opportunity to leave an honest review to help support the launch.
