Hey Author Growth Roadmap members! I just added a new module to the Email Marketing section 👇 "Create a Newsletter Sign-Up Form (No Website Needed)" This video walks you through how to set up a basic newsletter signup form in MailerLite so you can actually start collecting emails (even if you don’t have a lead magnet yet). You’ll be able to: • Create your form • Connect it to your email list • Link it in your bio or Linktree • Automatically send your welcome email • Grow your email list with the sign-up form This is the step that turns everything you’ve set up into something that actually works. If you’re inside, go get this set up! If you’re not a member yet and want instant access to all of the modules in Author Growth Roadmap: 👉 https://www.skool.com/author-growth-academy/plans

Hi Everyone! My mom and I recently finished and printed my first children’s book series (The Sploot Friends 🐶), inspired by my two corgis, and I’m now starting to think more seriously about distribution. I’m curious if anyone here has had experience with IngramSpark—especially when it comes to getting books into bookstores or libraries? I’ve heard mixed things, so I’d love to hear what’s worked for you, what hasn’t, and whether you’d recommend using it alongside KDP or another platform. Really appreciate any insight!

Hey I joined a while ago but just got active again yesterday. Anyone newbie too? How is life as an author? 🙃

Hi, I'm on the way to publishing my first series of children's books and I'm very happy to have found a community I can contribute to (when I know something) and to help me find my way.
