Explore The Authors Channel launch opportunities here _______ I know there are authors among us, and some of you work with authors, too. This is an opportunity I thought you might appreciate. 💙 For those who don’t know this side of my business, I’m The Tech Gardener. I help people explore ways to give their content and message more room to grow. Streaming TV is one of my specialty gardens, through the BloomingVoices Streaming TV Community. 🌱 eZWay TV is one of the networks I represent. For an author, that can mean bringing the ideas behind a book to life through a televised conversation, presentation, or launch. 📺 On October 20, The Authors Channel is launching on eZWay TV, with opportunities for authors to take the stage and share their message on television. There are also opportunities for: - A televised book launch - An author spotlight interview - A book promotion What interests me is the chance to introduce the person and purpose behind the book. Instead of simply saying, “Here’s what I wrote,” you can help viewers understand why it matters and who it can help. If you’re actively promoting your book and are ready to invest in reaching more readers, I’d love to help you explore which opportunity fits your message and goals. Explore The Authors Channel launch opportunities here, then comment below so I can help make a personal introduction. If an author in your world comes to mind, please pass this along or tag them. 💙 For the authors here: What would you most want viewers to take away from a conversation about your book?

...and celebrations are in order. Fair warning: there's a plot twist near the bottom, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦. 😉 One of our members, @Vinayak Ramesh, just launched a podcast — 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗛𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲. Went digging through the guest list to see who's on it so far, and turns out four of our own are already in there: Jill Hart, Krista Brea, Janay Trevillion, and Alli Gatlin. Podcast-famous and didn't say a word. 😏 (Still working through the rest of the episodes — if you're in there too, I'm coming for you next.) 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁: Vinayak's trying to climb the Apple Podcasts charts in his very first week, which is a genuinely hard thing to pull off. Here's how you can actually help (takes 2 minutes): 1️⃣ Follow the show 2️⃣ Download + listen to an episode — start with his, then go check out Jill's, Krista's, Janay's, or Alli's episodes too 3️⃣ On iPhone? A quick rating/review is what really moves the needle on ranking Every follow and download counts toward where he lands, no matter what device you're on. Once you've given him a boost... drop your own podcast link below. You helped him get eyes on his show, now let's get some eyes on yours 😁
