Good Authoring Day to YOU …

… And Happy Saturday to you!

Looking forward to seeing a dozen authors this AM to noodle ideas, answer questions … move them toward author success. It’s the second Saturday, meaning it’s AuthorYOU Salons. Coffee and teas are ready. I’ve got fresh banana-chocolate chip bread out of the oven. All starting at 9 am for the IN-PERSON gathering.

July is usually hot … what ideas do you have in your book marketing … your book marketing oven? It’s time to turn up the heat.

It’s Caturday … we authors and writers all need A team around us. Who is on yours? What do they bring to your author success quotient?

That’s me for this Saturday … how about you … what are you up to? 

Friday mornings are the place to be with other authors! I love the Friday coaching that happens early each Friday AM. I always have a “new tip” for the group that I lead with—a “show and tell how to do ‘it’ … whatever ‘it’ is, then it opens up to “catch up” and “asks”. Become a subscriber so you can get Friday Coaching for only $37 a month for VIP AuthorYOU members, $75 for non-members—limited number of subscribers allowed. We gather viz Zoom at 7 AM. Get on board –it’s fun and informative … and you get all questions answered. We do it via Zoom. This is for any author anywhere! Register– http://bit.ly/JudithCoaching
