First, I just want to say thank you. This community continues to grow and it’s because of all of you who show up, ask questions, share progress, and support each other along the publishing journey. As the group has grown, I’ve been making some adjustments to the structure so it works better for everyone and allows me to support you at a higher level depending on where you are in your publishing journey. Here’s what the updated tiers look like: 👉 FREE TIER If you're just getting started, this is where your journey begins. Inside the free tier you’ll find the Future Author Energy mini course, designed to help you get clear on: - What your book is about - Who it serves - How it helps people Once you get clarity on those three things, the rest of the publishing process becomes much easier — and it also helps me guide you better. I’ll also continue hosting free events and workshops in the community where I bring in additional resources and share strategies to help you move forward. 👉 PREMIUM Premium is where we start getting serious about publishing your book. Inside Premium you unlock: • A full video training series walking you through the entire self-publishing process • Two live Q&A calls each month so you can get unstuck and ask questions • Two monthly training workshops (with replays saved in the classroom) • DM / Loom support when you need help working through something • A 24-hour featured book post in the community once your book is published to help kick off your launch and start generating your first sales UPGRADE HERE 💥NEW: VIP 🚀 This tier is for those who want to accelerate their learning and move faster toward real book sales.

I used ChatGPT for a while to generate coloring pages, but if you’ve tried it, you already know the pain 😅 Broken lines. Weird shading. Styles that don’t match what you asked for. Too much back-and-forth prompting. A few days ago, someone who follows my YouTube channel reached out and put me onto a new tool called Colorin AI. 🌈 I’ve been testing it out, and honestly… it’s just easier. No fighting with prompts. Clean coloring lines on the first try. Styles actually look like *coloring pages* — from super simple kids pages to more detailed adult designs. I tested multiple styles, downloaded pages, and even printed a few. It nailed what I wanted without revisions, which is the biggest win for me. If you’re creating coloring books (or even just pages for kids), this tool saves a ton of time. I’ll drop my affiliate link below for anyone who wants to check it out. Pricing is reasonable, and you can use code CREATOR25 for 20% off YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT HERE If you’ve tried ChatGPT for coloring books before and got frustrated, this might be worth a look.
