I made this for @Lee Carlson after one of our Premium Author Lab coaching calls ... but I know that there are a lot of authors doing podcast interviews who aren't getting much momentum from them so this will help! Happy long weekend!

Hey, y'all! I'm going to be putting together a little Bay Area Authors dinner to hangout with fellow Silicon Valley authors. Who do you know in my San Francisco / Santa Cruz / San Jose area that you think I should invite to join us?? :)

Hi! I am in the process of starting to do author visits at elementary schools. I will be asking the admin to send out a preorder form for my book. But I was wondering how do you transition into getting paid for author visits? I will be working on a quality and interactive presentation. My children's books are about emotional healing, emotional parenting and even the inner child so I have a lot I would like to talk about. I am also very open to speaking to both students and their parents. One school said they are interested in doing an assembly for parents and students right after school.

New year, fresh momentum. 🎉Let’s set the tone for 2026 together. What’s the one thing you want to accomplish in your author journey this year? It could be big or small: Finish your first draft, publish your book, start (or grow) your email list, get more reviews, sell more books, etc. Drop your goal in the comments — and if you know it, share your next step too (even if it’s a small one). Chances are, someone here has the same goal… and we can all help each other stay on track this year. 🤝📚
