I know I have been a little quiet on Skool, but I have not been still. Since February and March, I have been building, growing, and showing up in powerful ways. I have received awards, been featured in news stories and publications, spoken at colleges, led workshops, and continued doing the work of championing authors, creatives, and underrepresented voices. I also helped execute a summit centred on diverse literature and led Create-Her, a workshop designed to empower artists, authors, and women creatives. This season has reminded me that sometimes silence does not mean inactivity. Sometimes it means expansion. And in the middle of all of that, I have been thinking deeply about this community and how I can serve you better, especially those of you who know you are called to write but need help starting. So here is what I am opening up:I will be making my Jumpstart Your Book course free. This is for the aspiring author who needs guidance, clarity, and that extra push to begin. Comment below for access and I will send you the details. Let’s get back to building. Let’s get back to writing. Let’s get your book started.

WEEK 12 IS LIVE. Twelve weeks ago, you committed to your book. Not the idea of a book. Not talking about a book. Not dreaming about a book. Writing it. Three months is enough time to: • Finish a first draft • Reach the halfway mark • Or build a writing system strong enough to complete it So where are you? If you completed your draft, this is your editing and publishing strategy phase. If you have chapters but stopped halfway, it’s time to tighten the plan and finish strong. If you started but lost momentum, this is your reset week. You still have access to the course. Now you need direction. Inside Week 12, we’re talking: • Completion• Next steps • Self-publishing checklist • When to book a consult • How to move from draft to published This is the year of action. Drop below where you are in your journey, and let’s move strategically.

Before you press publish… pause. Where are you in your author's journey? Every week, I speak to authors who are excited to release their book, but haven’t fully thought through their publishing path. Traditional. Self. Hybrid. Each one comes with different levels of control, royalties, speed, and long-term ownership. Pressing publish is easy. Building a legacy is intentional. Inside this community, we don’t just write books. We build intellectual property. We protect our rights. We choose strategically. Before you hit that button, ask yourself: • Who owns my work? • What percentage am I earning? • Do I understand my contract? • Does this align with my long-term vision? Boss Writers don’t rush decisions. They move with intention. If you’re unsure which path fits your goals, drop “PUBLISH” below and let’s talk it through. INSIDE WEEK 11 OF OUR BOSS WRITER WRITING CHALLENGE TAKES YOU THROUGH UNDERSTANDING THE PATHWAYS TO PUBLISHING. Go to our classroom and join the challenge!
