Been here a while but ๐Ÿชฟ Installed Skool Goose
My first goal is to do $100 MMR. Long term $3k MMR. Currently I am focused on posting consistently. Encouraging my members to do the same. And rewarding them when they do.

Shoutout to my North Carolina USA skoolers
I'd love to host a IRL event in North Carolina. Of course, anyone would be welcome from anywhere. You don't have to live in NC. We have so much to do here! I've looked into some great venues just in my local area and the sky's the limit. What part of the state do you live in and how far are you willing to travel for an epic IRL?

The internet is hilariously wild
Today, while perusing through the comment section on Facebook (why I still go there, I'll never know), I saw a familiar face pop up as a gif. I don't know why I cracked up so hard, but seeing @Goose Dunlavey on Giphy outside of Skool, on a thread that I am not even sure he'd endorse one way or another was just too much to handle before I had my coffee ๐Ÿ˜… Part of my loves that we're officially at the point where niche internet communities are bleeding into mainstream meme culture. Skool is impacting the collective consciousness and I am here for it. The internet is so weird. I kind of love it.

I was the bottleneck. Who can relate?
What I'm building this June โ€” and the shift behind it For over a decade, I've run an elite publishing house, Red Thread Books, taking nonfiction authors all the way through. Manuscript to launch to awards. We've put 77 books into the world and 55 of them have won awards. It's been good work. And it's been ten years of being the bottleneck. I have had a school community for nearly two years for my authors and for cultivating aspiring authors. I have had a few different strategies, with varying success, but it is time to shake things up. Earlier this spring, I had a moment of clarity I haven't been able to shake: I'd rather help 100 authors publish their own book well than keep publishing 10 a year through my full done-for-you service. Inspired by @Diana Frank who I originally met in this community, I remembered to do what I love & what I am good at... So this June, I'm running the first pilot cohort of something I've been holding back for a long time, an 8-week Publishing Mastermind. Six to ten authors. Live teaching every week. Hot-seat coaching on their real manuscripts, covers, and launch plans. Personal introductions to my vetted network of editors, designers, formatters, and launch partners, matched to each author's budget and goals. Pilot price: $2,500. Future cohorts will be higher. This isn't a course I built once and forgot about. It's the work I do every day, distilled into a structure I can deliver at scale without it eating me alive. Three things made the difference in getting me here: 1. Naming the bottleneck honestly (it was me) 2. Letting Founding Leaders co-build the community around it 3. Picking a small pilot cohort instead of trying to launch big WHO CAN RELATE? If you're building something similar, moving from done-for-you to taught-to-many, I'd love to compare notes. And if you know a nonfiction author with a near-done manuscript who's been circling self-publishing for too long, send them my way. The pilot enrolls through June 9.
