Can you believe we’re into Q4 already? I feel like I blinked and it was time for my yearly home-stretch. What that means for me is a push to finally relaunch the SCRIBAL Book Business Skool the way I originally envisioned and finish the last two manuscripts on deck for finalization in 2026. What that means for YOU is the start to the monthly Topical sessions and Q&As (calendar updates coming soon). I’m all about finishing each year strong, and I’m here to help you do the same. So tell me: What plans do you have for finishing 2026 strong? Writing? Editing? Publishing? Marketing? Content creation? Book events? What're your Q4 goals?

I've been working behind the scenes to turn several of my in-person and virtual workshops into online classes accessible through this Community's CLASSROOM. The book publishing landscape (in both trad and indie spheres) is adjusting weekly, and sometimes we need resources at our fingertips that allow us to flex time. If you've missed previously attending one of my workshops because of a time conflict or you've attended one of my workshops in the past and thought, I'd love to attend that again. Or maybe you're looking for the most up-to-date information on certain book publishing or intellectual property issues. Then these sessions are for you. Mini Classes and/or Topical Chats are overviews and informational, which will be available as part of the Community level (e.g., free access). Replays will be available at the Premium level, along with more intermediate and advance classes. (Premium tiers will be launching soon.) Some of the first Topical Chats and Mini Classes to go up will be: • Instagram 101 for Authors (Your first 1,000 followers) • Strategic Instagram for Authors (Leveling Up Your Engagement) • Copyright, Trademarks, and Plagiarism, Oh My! (Intellectual Property Basics) • Copyright 101 for Authors (What it is. Why it matters. How to protect it.) • Avoiding the Common Manuscript Submission Traps (Shopping Trad and Agents Like a Pro) If there are topics, you'd like us to cover, be sure to let me know by dropping a comment below.
