As you've been hearing, I'm pivoting the community to a PAID entry on 9/1, so I am making some minor improvements around the community. I'm not the best at organization, so I've taken some inspiration from @Adelina Rosa who has a really great community called Creator Connections 🦉and she has organization on lockdown in there. So I created some new posting categories for us here. ❤️ Connect — Introductions, questions, networking, conversations 🧡 Publish — Writing, covers, formatting, KDP setup, keywords, categories 💚 Marketing — Visibility, Amazon SEO, ads, social media, email, launches 💛 Wins — Book launches, first sales, rankings, milestones, progress 💙 Promote — Share your books, offers, freebies, and promotions 💜 Updates — Community announcements, workshops, challenges, new resources More improvements will be coming soon. (p.s. - new training video will be dropping on 9/1 for the launch 🚀)

!I’ve been seeing more amazing reviews come through from members of the Premium program, and I just want to say 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨. 💗 🌟 SEE ALL THE REVIEWS HERE I’m incredibly grateful for the kind words, but even more grateful for the people behind them. One of my favorite parts of building this community has been getting to know so many of you beyond just the books you’re publishing. @Tara Adler 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗮 has been part of the community for almost a year.

She’s still working on her book while somehow balancing 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 as a yoga teacher too. 🧘‍♀️ @Andrew Brooks 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘄 joined us more recently. He’s a chef, a dad, and author some with a big vision. He runs 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱, where he helps people support healthy weight loss, gut health, and reduce inflammation without restrictive dieting. You can check out his kid's book The Splendid Tale of Figerly Bunny @Kathy Roberts 𝗞𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆 has been here for several months and has become such an active part of the community—connecting with members, starting conversations, and even running an Author Accountability group inside our community. She also helps women declutter through her community 𝗧𝗶𝗱𝘆 𝗧𝘂𝗱𝗼𝗿. ...And Kathy... please do not come look at my closets. 😂 @Susan Wright 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻 has been here for over a year and originally came in with the idea of creating a devotional. She’s also semi-local to me, so we’ve gotten the chance to meet up at events and grab dinner from time to time. She runs 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗠𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 here on Skool.
