Someone is curled up with your book right now. They feel understood. Seen. Inspired. You may not know them yet — but you’re already writing for them. What’s one thing you want your reader to remember after finishing your book?

I am fighting amazon for 3 months now. And just booked another little win. I am publishing under the pen name Pen & Puzzle (on Amazon written as Pen and Puzzle) and that was okay for 4 Word Search Puzzle books. But book 1 and 6 got rejected based on the fact that Pen & Puzzle was a confusing contributor name which would prevent customers to make a good buying decision. Not really sure what is confusing about Pen and Puzzle for paperback books that need a pen and are a puzzle ... but he ho. Been chatting with customer service, "meeting" several Amazon employees there who don't understand it either but unfortunately they can't do much more than constantly redirecting me back to the content review team. And unfortunately they never come up with an answer. I even received an email saying they can't give me an explanation, but this is their decision ... So far for professionalism at Amazon KDP, but we have to work with it if we want to keep publishing books. And keeping tweaking, keeping re-publishing, keeping sticking to your game PAYS OFF!! Book 6 is published. Last hurdle to take is getting book 1 published too.

Today is the day when we look back at the week and reflect on what went well, what could we improve on and what we are going to focus on next week. And then it's important to celebrate the steps that we have made. Please share your successes so that we can cheer each other on 😊

We’re half way the week again and I don’t know about you. but I am buzzing about all the possibilities this academy keeps offering. And that new office of Abbie I want it too. But that means some serious work has to be done. Or as Abbie told us last Friday; STOP FLUFFING AROUND … So let’s get the work done by keeping each other accountable and working together … Wednesday Accountability Circle co-working today at 1pm UK time. On Wednesdays we work for 25 minutes, brainstorm, support, motivate and inspire each other for 10 minutes or so and then work another 25 minutes.

Heyyy Book Bosses! I have a little but BIG reminder for you today! So here's an image of one of our most recent COLLABORATION BOOKS created by our fabulous @Zelda Marsh!!! Congratulations Zelda! Isn't this just fabulous!? (And you can also watch an interview between our Co-Coach @Agnes Bogardi and Zelda right here too...... I'll post it in the comments below because I can't find it right now! lol) What I wanted to say is don't forget that you can join The Book Boss Collaboration Scheme where we share the royalties with you 50/50%.................... most other book publishers will offer you 10% or 15% and thats because they have lots of overheads and buildings and all that sort of thing to pay for! But that's NOT THE CASE here at Book Boss! We are all online and so we are able not only to design your book cover FOR YOU..... we also do ALL the keyword research FOR YOU and we research the best title and subtitle for your book and the best book categories to publish in too, we draft and exceptional and compelling book description FOR YOU and we will post your books regularly on our socials from 1st January 2026 onwards! (this part is currently being set up!) We publish the book FOR YOU on Amazon KDP and we will send you 50% share of any royalties earned! The massive benefit to this is that most people quite simply dont create a good enough book cover in order for their book to make sales - they fluff up their keywords and their book descriptions are somewhat lacking! - so they end up making ZERO SALES! 100% of ZERO royalties = ZERO....! Whereas you are much more likely for your book to get searched for and purchased with our Book Boss covers, keywords, titles, subtitles and book descriptions! We want YOUR BOOK to stand out and be THE BEST! So if you want to join The Book Boss Book Collaboration....simply send me a DM with your profitable BOOK TITLE and BOOK IDEA. We don't collaborate with just any books - we need to deem them "profitable" in order to agree the collaboration (in short - we don't want to spend our time publishing books that we dont think will make sales!)
