December is a perfect author month. Books are sold as gifts … a perfect gift.
Your take-aways this AM will be about celebrating what you have done. Your book has or will make a difference to so many. Pat yourself on back. AND, start think forward … how about creating a Calendar for 2019 that will forward your perfect gift in an event or activity year-round?
This Saturday is the perfect time to take just three hours for you to get your brainstorming and masterminding hat in the publishing ring and kick off the coming out of winter.
Besides the answers to the “What I need to Know Before I Go” that is posted on the Flip Chart, you will come away with:
* Transition from the CWO to the CMO.
* Re-launch a tired book and add sparkle to your push.
* How to use social media to master book marketing.
* Learn about must have adds for you and your book.
* Learn how to add “juice” to what you are currently doing.
* Learn new author tools to add to your success.
* Always … get any questions you have answered.
Springtime in the Rockies delivers a split weather personality–we could have a little snow; some rain; or sunshine as the day begins. Inside, there will be plenty of HOT NEW ideas that will flip what you think and turn your head and attitude about what works and doesn’t work in today’s publishing arena.
All gatherings start with a flip chart and a question: what do you need? The morning is then off … who knows what paths it will take?
Is there a book in the works? Are you stuck? Curious about the various publishing options? Ask your questions … AND participate. The value of the group is to GIVE and SHARE ahas, insights and techniques, not just TAKE. If you are a taker, Author YOU is not for you.
The AuthorYOU participants are hungry for new information and delighted to share what works for them … and what doesn’t. The Circles created will expand your projects and the breadth of your success. If you want to make your book happen … here’s the inner circle that has ideas and experience to kick start it, goose it and just gets the launch started that The Book Shepherd Judith Briles leads each month. Your answers are in the room.
AND … it’s MONEY FREE to attend … with two strings attached:
Bring a healthy snack to share AND some new socks.
Judith is a Sock Ambassador and part of a team that distributes to the Homeless and Kids in Need–, your ideas, questions, an open mind and meet other authors. No question goes unanswered! –come at 9, stay til noon–

Over 80% of Americans think they want to write a book. Is that you? Do you know the “why” of why your book should be available to others?

… It’s an Author and Writer Full Day Extravaganza
Did you know that over 80% of the public thinks there is a book in them? Are you part of the 80%? Want to learn what your options are in getting yours from your head; from all those loose notes that have piled up over the years; want to add “published author” behind your name this year?
It’s LEAP YEAR … are you ready to:
• jump into your publishing dreams and turn them into a reality?
• think about creating a new book or repurposing an old one?
• do a refresher on what’s happening in publishing today?
• Or, do you need to just mingle with other writers and authors and make 2020 the year that makes the difference for you?
Part of AuthorYOU’s mission is to educate emerging authors on how to write, publish and market their books. AuthorYOU is for the author who wants to be seriously successful.
Today’s publishing is a journey loaded with twists, turns, and potholes. AuthorYOU will show you how to avoid the labyrinth of publishing predators. We don’t want you to add “ripped-off” to your resume.
How to publish (self, indie, traditional) a book from start to finish.
What to expect when you are expecting—the dollars, cents, and sense of publishing is today.
How to avoid the publishing predators of the self-publishing world.
Essential information about editing your book.
How to create a hero, not a zero, when it comes to book cover design.
The importance of publishing printed books, digital books, and audiobooks.
How to propel yourself and rise above the publishing marketplace with social media and metadata.
Tips on avoiding the mistakes most authors make.
The ABCs of Audiobooks and eBooks.
Lists of vetted resources to use in your publishing quest.
Timelines for the spectrum of publishing.
Write and publish a book that grabs your reader.
And a special segment on how to set up your Author Business (This is a makeup session due to the snow storm on February’s Monthly Meeting)

- Do you want to sell more books?
- Do you want to schedule more presentations?
- Do you want your book to inspire others?
It’s time to brag … right now! Holidays are here and your book will make a great gift! But readers and buyers cannot find you because they’ve never heard of you! You fear bragging!
“Invisibility leads to stagnation. Embracing the brag keeps you visible.” -Judith Briles
You say you don’t like to brag. The truth is you fear bragging because at a very young age you were taught bragging is egotistical. It’s time to get over it! It’s up to you to sell your books!
“If you can’t sell yourself, you can’t sell your book and receive well-deserved notoriety!”
The good news is, bragging isn’t hard, but it takes courage and the knowledge of how to do it right.
Remember, readers enjoy buying books written by authors they know and trust. Now’s the time to get your brag on!
In this session, you will learn the five amazing steps on how to brag in a business-savvy manner.
- Create brag factors that make a positive difference
- Develop the confidence to brag
- Use your brag statements to sell more books and book more presentations

If you’re brand new to cryptocurrencies, this is the primer training for you. Cryptocurrencies are here … it makes sense to learn about them and determine if your toe should be in the water. This is not a pitch to invest … this is a portal to understand what the buzz is about and how it could affect you in a world that is just starting to get regulated.
When it comes to author and publisher finances … It’s a whole new world and in this presentation, you get up to speed fast and figure out if the buzz is worth your attention.
Here’s what you’ll discover in this ONLINE workshop …
- What is the blockchain and why authors and publishers should care
- What are non-fungible tokens (NFT’s)
- How authors and publishers can create passive income with their books with NFTs
Plus, much, much more.
