Hey Write Your Book family 👋 It’s been a little while since I’ve been active here, but today I’m back — and ready to reconnect with all of you amazing authors, storytellers, and dreamers. Over the past months s, I’ve been reflecting on my own writing journey and gathering fresh inspiration. Now, I’d love to hear from you: 📚 Where are you in your book right now? Just starting? Stuck in the middle? Polishing the final draft? 💡 Drop your update below and let’s cheer each other on. Let’s make this thread a spark for our next big writing push. Who knows — this could be the week you all finally finish that chapter.

Hey fellow authors!!! I host a podcast and would LOVE to have any and all of you guys on as guests to dicuss your journey as an author. Whether it be aspiring, accomplished, or somewhere in between you deserve celebration and to share your journey. You can email me at [email protected] or comment here to schedule a discussion chat!

@Michelle Johnson-Farley wrote a book... THE SAME 20 I am leaning into my health big time... and I need this. It arrived in Colombia this afternoon... and I am diving in. What are you reading this weekend?

BOOK REVIEWS There is so much that goes into being a successful author. We gamified it and broke it down into smaller pieces. Since we have had two books published in the last two weeks, internally with our newest authors we are talking about book reviews, the value and influence, we wanted to highlight our #2 Author Challenge- Book reviews: READ IT HERE 👉 https://redthreadbooks.mykajabi.com/blog/RTauthorchall2 So I challenge ALL OF YOU... authors, writers & readers alike... ✍️ WRITE at least ONE BOOK REVIEW 📚 this week. (post in the comments for some love & gratitude) ANY BOOK- your favorite book, the most recent read or one of our RED THREAD AUTHORS (hint).

I’ve seen authors try 20 different strategies, ads, reels, newsletters, TikTok, giveaways… and still feel like their book is invisible. But here’s the thing: 👉 If you can’t explain what your book actually offers a reader in 1–2 sentences that spark curiosity and connection… 👉 If your blurb feels “meh” even to you… 👉 If your hook sounds just like everyone else’s… …then no amount of promotion will save it. Here’s a dead simple question that always helps me (and a few author friends) fix this fast: “Why would a complete stranger care about this story?" Not your friends. Not people who write in your genre. A cold reader. One you’ve never met. When you answer that honestly, the fog starts to lift. 💬 What’s your answer to that question, why would someone who doesn’t know you at all care about your book? Drop it below, I’ll give feedback if you want it. 👇
