Where are my Author Launch Kit users hiding? Even if you haven’t jumped into the software yet, you’ll want to know about the powerhouse training our very own @Shane Vigeant has been rolling out. And guess what—there’s another one happening TODAY at 12pm PST: 👉 How to Find Your Readers Join live here: BookLaunchers.tv Shane’s been on fire with these sessions. A couple of weeks ago he broke down how to promote your book on social media, and if you missed that one, catch the replay here: Watch Now. And if you’re not using Author Launch Kit yet… what are you waiting for? Snag your one-year or lifetime license and get the tools + training that help authors actually sell books, not just write them.

SXSW has chosen two of my talks to be put up to a panel vote. They use the vote tallies to choose the final ones that get to take the stage. You have to create an account (takes a few seconds) then place a heart beside the talk title. That is it!! Your votes would really help me. Thank you!!

Still haven’t grabbed the Author Launch Kit? Then you’re missing out on the tool that’s helping authors: - Nail their book descriptions - Pitch podcasts (with contact info and pitch angles ready to go) - Land bookstore events - Create weekly newsletter content without crying into their coffee, and so much more! On August 1, the price goes up. - One-year license: $99 → $149 - Lifetime license: $249 → $349 (That’s one payment. All updates. Never pay again.) Authors are saving dozens of hours and probably thousands of dollars—and we’re just warming up. If you’re planning to write, publish, or promote a book anytime soon, this is your heads-up: Buy now or pay more later when everyone else says it's the ultimate tool for every non-fiction author. Get your license here: https://www.booklaunchers.com/alk Don't take my word for it as to how awesome this tool is ... check out the comments below from the folks that are already using it (cue your posts!! :D)

Hello everyone. I'm so excited to be back after finishing my book. Quick questions: Do you have someone you would recommend for proofreading? How good is proofreadingservices.com? My book on women's safety is around 70K words. Getting developmental edits and line edits have been fairly expensive. Proofreading needs to be done well, and I'm getting one quote that's over a thousand dollars. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.
