I was recently told that I'm pi***ng away my education.

The comment stuck with meโ€”not because I believed it, but because it made me stop and think about the path that brought me here.

I wrote my first book in kindergarten.

In college, I studied journalism and literature, worked on the literary magazine, and immersed myself in the world of books.

Then came Disney. Penguin. A New York literary agency. Years spent learning how stories are created, marketed, sold, and shared with the world.

And somehow, according to some people, all of that was supposed to lead me to climbing someone else's corporate ladder.

To get "a real job."

But when I look back, every step seems to have been pointing here.

To this. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ“š

To building a business where I can help authors in the way they actually need help.

Not through a corporate filter.

Not through the priorities of shareholders, quarterly earnings reports, or publishing trends.

Just me, a trusted team of freelancers, and the authors who trust us with their dreams.

I've spent my entire career learning how publishing works.

Now I get to spend my days helping writers navigate it.

That doesn't feel like wasting an education.

It feels like finally using it exactly as intended.

My entire career has been preparing me for this. The only surprise is that it took me so long to realize it.

Recognition is built when people can predict the kinds of conversations theyโ€™ll get from you.

Thatโ€™s branding.

๐Ÿ“š writing process
๐Ÿ“š research overwhelm
๐Ÿ“š publishing surprises
๐Ÿ“š rejection
๐Ÿ“š finding agents/publishers
๐Ÿ“š protecting creative time
โ€ฆand what writing a book is actually like once youโ€™ve lived it.

One publishing expert says you have to be on TikTok.
Another says email is king.
Someone else says Amazon ads.
Another says never use Amazon ads.

Then thereโ€™s your cousinโ€™s neighborโ€™s friend who published a book in 2009 and suddenly becomes a publishing strategist. ๐Ÿ™„

There is SO much information out there about writing, publishing, and marketing books that authors end up overwhelmed before they even begin.

And hereโ€™s the bigger problem:
Not all advice is good advice.
Not all advice is current advice.
Not all advice applies to ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ goals.

The publishing industry changes fast. Algorithms change. Distribution changes. Marketing trends change. Reader behavior changes.

If you listen to every voice at once, you stop trusting your own direction.

The goal is ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—น๐—น๐—ผ๐˜„ all the noise.
The goal is to ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ป ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—น๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ it.

Thatโ€™s where strategy comes in. ๐—” ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป. Built around your book, your goals, and your strengths instead of whatever random advice is trending this week.

If youโ€™re tired of spinning in circles trying to figure out what you โ€œshouldโ€ be doing, letโ€™s talk. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ“š

Weโ€™re bringing together a panel of conference insiders to help pull back the curtain.

โ€ข Jenny Kate, Director, Pikes Peak Writers Conference
โ€ข Bernadette Giambrocco-Soehner, President, Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers
โ€ข Julie Cameron and Eva Fox Mate, Gemini Writer's Studio

Weโ€™ll talk about:

โ€ข The differences between conferences
โ€ข Who theyโ€™re best suited for
โ€ข How to get the most out of attending
โ€ข Pitch sessions, networking, workshops, and what actually matters
โ€ข How conferences can help your long-term writing career

Bring your questions, your experiences, and your recommendations. Whether youโ€™re conference-curious or a seasoned attendee, this will be a really helpful conversation.

Every app wants your attention. Every algorithm wants your energy. Every marketing guru wants you convinced youโ€™re behind.

And meanwhile youโ€™re just trying to write a damn book.

No wonder writers feel overwhelmed.

Part of protecting your creativity now means learning how to unplug from the constant performance of being online. Or let someone else do it for you. (That's why I'm here!)
