Will 2023 Be Your Author Year of DOing for You and Your Book?

Are you a DOER … or are you still diddling with just thinking about it … whatever “it” is?

Sure, dreaming about stuff … a new concept, a new idea, a new book … or the “if only” I had done it this way… maybe, just maybe … my idea might work.

Maybe.

So, what are you going to do to move it from “maybe” to “it’s happening” as in now?

For years, I’ve said that too many authors get caught in the cycle of “one for the money … two for the show … three to get ready…” and they are stuck in what seems like perpetuity between the show and get ready phase.

Could that be you?

This week …the first week of the new year of 2023, it’s time to morph. To transition into being a DOer and no longer a Dreamer or a Diddler.

Are you ready to join me? Become a DOER … and not a Dreamer is my theme for a year and I’m so embracing it.

Let’s will be happening at The Book Shepherd as I and my team work with my challenging and scintillating array of clients that I’m honored to bring their books to life.

New workshops are coming—I will be delivering a new one on How to Write Grabbing Back Covers and Book Marketing Copy, new formats for all my Unpluggeds, along with Ask Judith quarterly webinars and the Authors Hall of Fame Happy Hour. My calendar is already set for the entire year.

It’s called planning.

My ask for this first week of the new year: What’s in your planning wallet? It’s my call to action for you.
