Hey everyone, I took the last few weeks off to go on vacation with my wife to China...and it was awesome. The pic attached is us standing in front of the Avatar Mountains. But now that I'm back, I scheduled a few new lab sessions in the Skool calendar. Go check them out and pop in if you can. I'll be there to answer any of your book marketing questions and offer Author Launch Kit support as well. Hope to see you there!

This community is only as good as the people in it — and this month proved (again!) we have exceptional people. It's genuinely exciting to see new names climbing into the top 10. That only happens when people show up, ask real questions, and add something worth responding to which is exactly what's been happening here. A few people worth calling out this month: Kevin and Roger — at this point you two have won everything there is to win, and you keep showing up anyway. That says everything about why this community works. Rob Cole — top 3 for the first time this month I believe! :) Rob, this is what consistent, valuable participation looks like. The questions you're asking and the conversations you're starting are making this a better place for everyone. Well earned. To everyone in the top 10 and everyone contributing below the leaderboard line — thank you. The authors who get the most out of Author Lab are the ones who give to it too. You're proof of that. Keep it up. — Julie p.s. We do have an affiliate link for our Author Lab ... you can grab it in your profile and when you share it and someone signs up for our Premium level you get paid for that referral so please do spread the word to the good people you know that will also benefit from being there!! Our Premium level is where our replays from summits and events live ... and it's also where you can get on the phone 1:1 or in group calls with the Book Launchers team to get expert guidance! Having trouble with Amazon? Need strategy for your next event? Want to chat about what is next in the process for your book? One piece of advice can be worth hundreds or thousands of dollars made or saved ... so it easily pays for itself if you participate.

Did you miss the state of publishing today? Probably because it was a quiet one ... but it's worth catching up!

Good morning, folks. We need to cancel today's Premium Group Coaching Call as Sarah is under the weather. We'll get this rescheduled as soon as she's able. Thank you for your understanding and have a pleasant day!

For the entire month of May, we’re running a 30-day virtual workshop to help you actually build momentum with your book. Here’s what you’ll get: - Weekly group coaching (with me or Julie Broad) - Direct guidance on what to focus on (so you’re not guessing) - A full platform audit for YOU (Amazon page, social, website, etc.) All you need to do is grab a lifetime license of Author Launch Kit before April 30th. If your book isn’t doing what you hoped yet, this is where that changes. Check out all the details here. We’re excited to work with you on this 🙌 ****Edit: If you already have a lifetime license, yes you can join! Just send me a DM and I'll add you to the list.
