I'm so excited to announce that starting Monday, I'm kicking off my 12 Days of Children's Book Christmas Marketing series on YouTube! For 12 days straight, I'll be releasing a brand-new video every single day at 12 PM Central Time, sharing fun, creative, and practical ways to market and sell your children's books this holiday season! And the best part? All 12 marketing strategies are completely FREE to implement! We'll be covering everything from Amazon KDP promotions and social media marketing to local selling opportunities, holiday events, and a few creative strategies you might not have thought of before! My goal is to show you that you don't need a huge marketing budget or thousands of followers to get your children's books in front of more readers this Christmas. And don't worry, you don't need to implement all 12 strategies! Pick the ones that work best for you and your children's book business. 🎥 Subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don't miss Day 1: https://www.youtube.com/@AuthorHarleighRose I'll also be sharing each day's video right here in the community!

This is not a follow-for-follow thread. This is about building real relationships, cheering each other on, and finding fellow authors you actually want to stay connected with! Take a minute to support someone else before you hop out! Authors supporting authors always wins! 💪

Bright Little Pages received enough nominations to move into the FINAL voting round of the KABOOM Awards, and now I need your help again. Voting runs October 7–20, and you can vote EVERY DAY. If you’re in and willing to help Bright Little Pages through this voting round, let me know below. I can add you to a separate email reminder list just for the KABOOM Awards so you’ll get a quick reminder each day while voting is open. Once the voting round is over, those reminders stop. The more people we have on this wagon, the bigger the difference we can make. It’s just a quick click each day, but those daily votes can add up fast. If you’re willing to vote with me October 7–20, comment “I’M IN” below and let me know if you’d like the email reminders. Thank you to everyone who helped Bright Little Pages get this far. Now it’s time for the final round!

I’m officially back from Greece! We had such a lovely time celebrating my sister’s wedding, and after actually taking some time away from work, I’m feeling so relaxed, refreshed, and ready to be productive again! I’m excited to get back into the swing of things: coaching calls, creating new content, working on new trainings, and all of the projects I have planned for the rest of the year. Sometimes stepping away for a little bit is exactly what you need to come back with a fresh burst of motivation, and that is definitely how I’m feeling right now. 😂 I’m so excited to catch up with everyone and see what you’ve been working on while I’ve been away! Talk soon, friends!

I’m having SUCH a great time in Greece celebrating my sister and her wedding, but I have to say… it feels so weird not talking to you guys this week 😂 I’m so used to seeing you all on our calls, hearing what you’re working on, brainstorming together, and getting all the updates on your books and businesses that I genuinely feel like something is missing from my week! I hope you’re all having a productive (or relaxing) week while I’m gone, and I can’t wait to catch up with everyone when I’m back. ❤️ In the meantime, keep me posted in here on what you’re working on! I still want to see your wins and updates even while I’m away. 🥰
