Good Authoring Day to YOU …

… And Happy Saturday to you!

Looking forward to spending the day with 20 authors at all stages of their journey today. It’s Book Publishing Unplugged … then plan for the next Barnes & Noble at Southlands, July 2. If you are in Colorado, drop into the store –10 authors will be there with their books AND BN donates a percentage of store sales to the Aspiring Authors Scholarships.

This past week, I started the process of closing out four of my books on Amazon so that the new books: How to Avoid Book Publishing Blunders, How to Create Crowdfunding Success for Authors and Writers, Snappy Sassy Salty Success for Authors and Writers, and How to Create a Million Dollar Speech will become the primary ones to refer authors and writers to. The eBooks are now loaded up as well. Next, move—get Author Central to move the reviews to the new books.

It’s Caturday … what steps are you taking to grow your influence? Starting today. Where are you in pushing out you wisdom?

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
