📦 Have You Ordered Your Author Copies Yet? One of the best perks of being a self-published author is that you don't have to pay full retail price for your own book. Instead, Amazon lets you order author copies at essentially the printing cost. For many paperbacks, that means you're paying only around $2–$3 per copy (plus shipping), making it an incredibly affordable way to get your book into your hands. And trust me... opening that box for the first time is a feeling you'll never forget. Your author copies aren't just souvenirs. They're a chance to: ✅ Check your print quality, formatting, and layout ✅ Catch anything you'd like to improve in a future update ✅ Share copies with friends and family ✅ Keep one on your desk as a reminder of what you've accomplished The biggest benefit, though, is what it does for your mindset. Holding your own published book is proof that you followed through. You took an idea and turned it into something real. Once you've published one book, the second one suddenly feels a whole lot more achievable. 📚 Your first author copies aren't about making a profit. They're about building confidence and creating momentum. Have you ordered your author copies yet? If you have, post a photo in the comments! I'd love to celebrate your accomplishment. 🎉 @Nicole Henderson just launched her book and got her copies let's continue to CHEER her on!! 💗 Reminder: The Publishing Playbooks are currently on sale for just $15, but only through the end of this month. After that, they'll return to their regular price of $27. If you're looking for step-by-step guidance to help you publish your first (or next) book, now's a great time to grab them before the price goes back up.
