At the beginning of 2026, a lot of you set a goal to publish a book this year. Well… we are officially entering the final quarter of the year, and now it’s my job to start holding you accountable. 👀 I’m going to be checking in to see who actually followed through and published their book this year — and who still has some work to do.

I’ve loved watching @Madalina Covrig continue to publish and build out her catalog. She started with coloring books and has now created this beautiful fall release: 🍁 𝗣𝗶𝗽 & 𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗮 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 🍁 This cozy coloring book follows Pip and Mira through fall traditions like apple picking, pumpkin patches, baking, family meals, and acts of kindness. With 24 illustrations inspired by Thanksgiving celebrations in both Canada and the United States, it’s all about gratitude, togetherness, and enjoying the little moments of the season. This is such a great example of why I always encourage you to 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. Every book gives you another opportunity to learn, improve, and reach new readers. 👏 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮! 👉 GO CHECKOUT THE BOOK HERE Go check out 𝗣𝗶𝗽 & 𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗮 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 and show some love to a fellow author in our community. ❤️📚

𝗪𝗘 𝗛𝗜𝗧 #𝟮𝟱! First, I just want to say 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝘂𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲. I truly didn’t expect us to get this far this quickly. In fact, when I decided to close the group to new free members, I thought it might slow things down a little… but you proved me completely wrong. 😂 The group has actually been showing up 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿. Engagement is going up, conversations are growing, and people are continuing to comment, share, support each other, and bring real value into the community. Because of all of that, we just hit another huge milestone: #𝟮𝟱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆! 🎉 At this point, I don’t really have a specific reason why we 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 to hit Top 20… but now I’m curious. 😂 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟮𝟬?

I don't know if you saw, but Krista is running an incredible deal right now on her community, and I just joined her premium tier. I joined for one primary reason: Krista knows what she is doing. Keep in mind that I'm already a successful publisher and author on Amazon. But that matters to me much less than surrounding myself with capable and competent people like Krista. Of course, the Premium tier comes with a lot of other really amazing perks too that you should absolutely take advantage of. You might also notice a little cloverleaf by my name, which means I have a top 5% community on Skool, so I know what a great community looks like, and this is it! And you know I'm telling the truth because I haven't put anyone in this community on an affiliate code, which means I stand to gain nothing from this post except to help the over 1,700 of you that want to level up their publishing game. If you've been putting off getting started in this business, or if you started half-assed and you're ready to take it seriously, then you need to commit to the next level. Krista will get there.
