I've been having the time of my life sharing what I know has been the most invaluable and absolutely priceless information, tips, tools, and resources when it comes to writing, publishing, author, literary, financial literary, and publisher success,

And, if you haven't figured it out by now, it's all part of the pre-order campaign for my upcoming title, Your Book is Your Business: Money-Making Sales Strategies.

Instead of month after month of . . .

"I have a book coming out."

"Here's the pre-sale link."

"Please buy it."
. . Like I teach in my course about how to run a successful pre-order campaign, I'm spending months telling and showing authors and publishers the benefits of the information, tools, and resources I have to offer—some of which can be found in the book. I'm spending months adding value to other people's lives, careers, and businesses. I'm spending months transforming lives by being a resource and sharing valuable tips, systems, and strategies.

This is what I refer to when I say—and why I recommend—being a resource before being an author.

I'm showing up more so as a resource—an expert—rather than an author.

"This is the largest turnout we've ever had for the Whitney Writers' Corner monthly workshop!"

This past Saturday, it was a full house for my "Landscape of Publishing" presentation at Whitney Library. The staff was beyond delighted, as you can see by the quote I shared above.

I got hired to teach for one hour of the usual two-hour meeting. I ended up teaching three straight hours. No, I'm not going to get paid for those two extra hours—not by Las Vegas-Clark County Library District, anyway. But I will get paid back by each attendee who implements and executes the tips, tools, and information I shared with them . . . and WIN with them! Because ultimately, my success is based on the success of the people I help win . . . not on how much I get paid to help them do it...

I know not everyone can afford—or simply do not have it in their budget—to hire me as their publishing coach, literary consultant, or attend my annual "Act Like an Author, Think Like a Business" conference (pathtopublishing.com/conference), which, by the way, is taking place online December 6-7, 2025.

Or to even purchase the conference curriculum (pathtopublishing.com/conferencestore) if they can't attend the conference.

Which is why, if you will be in the Las Vegas area on Saturday, November 1, 2025, I encourage you to come out to Whitney Library located at 5175 E Tropicana Ave, Las Vegas, Nevada, where I will be teaching on "The Landscape of Publishing" from 2-4 p.m.

This is part of the Whitney Writers' Corner workshop series, and you can learn more by visiting events.thelibrarydistrict.org/event/13938808

I know I've been doing quite a bit of writing workshops at the various library branches here in Vegas, but this one is strictly about publishing.

My fee to teach is 100% covered by Las Vegas-Clark County Library District. This means that because they are 100% covering my fee, you get to attend this session 100% FREE.

As a teacher, coach, consultant, Business Subject Matter Storytelling Expert, teaching artist, and instructor who is on assignment, my goal is always to find community partners and sponsors whose vision and mission lines up with mine to provide access to the tools, information, and resources that will equip, educate, and empower the community to unearth and share their stories. So, even if you can't support this particular event, please continue to support your local libraries.

No RSVP required. Just show up . . . and bring a fellow writer with you!

On Saturday and Sunday, December 6th and 7th, I will be instructing Day 1 - Beyond the Basics of Publishing - of the “Act Like an Author, Think Like a Business" conference online via Zoom.

Since the inaugural year of the conference back in 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada, I've added so much information and resources to the conference curriculum, a single day is no longer enough time to cover the Day 1 content. So, I've now had to break it up into two separate days.

Day 1 Saturday, December 6, 2025 (9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. - with an hour break from noon to 1:00 p.m. Pacific) will cover the first 3 main aspects of publishing: Writing, Editing, Design.

Day 2 Sunday, December 7, 2025 (9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. - with an hour break from noon to 1:00 p.m. Pacific) will cover the next 3 main aspects of publishing: Process, Marketing & Promotions, Selling.

StrongHER. BoldHER.

That is the theme for this year's Women in Business Summit where our CEO, Joylynn M. Ross, has been chosen as one of the keynote speakers, which is in complete alignment with her individual brand as a professional speaker, teacher, and storyteller, "The Confrontational Speaker."

The world has plenty motivational speakers. What it needs is someone who is not afraid to boldly confront issues and challenges when delivering messages.

"Be kind to yourself. Give yourself grace. Show yourself some compassion. NOT. MY. MESSAGE!" states Joylynn. "I'm not here to motivate and inspire. Tony Robbins and Les Brown have that covered. I'm here to activate, incite, and ignite a fire!"

Instead of coddling and consoling pain, Joylynn says her purpose is to massacre it with this dangerous weapon she has called a tongue, paired with her gift to take words and form literary art.

"My pain—anyone's pain—is not special," she says. "Pain doesn't get to be a special guest that continuously overstays its welcome. A pain that, if not evicted, can end up paralyzing and immobilizing you; keeping you from achieving your measure of success in business and in life.

"Trust me when I say the message was definitely for the messenger first. I had to finally tell myself: 'Stop conveniently using your self-prescribed pain—paired with the disadvantages and marginalization that has been dispensed to you in small doses throughout your life—as an excuse why you didn't achieve your measure of success or that goal you set out to achieve.'

"I had to ask herself, "Why is it that you can easily see and speak on where everyone and everything has failed you, distracted you, or delayed you, but are blind to how you have failed, distracted, and delayed yourself?"

You cannot slay what you cannot see.

Don't worry; "The Confrontational Speaker" is here to confront it and bring it into your view. "It's my honor, duty, pleasure, and assignment to deliver it to you on a silver platter." She'll be doing just that at the Women in Business Summit in Las Vegas, Nevada on Wednesday, October 22, 2025. Register now at https://www.womeninbusinesssummit.info.

Previously, I shared a post about one of my literary agent clients, Marc Avery, and how he's had a literary event almost every single week since the release of his book, Discipline, back in May of this year. What I didn't mention was that Marc sells between 20-70 books at each of his literary events (including the virtual lives he does on social media). And because he didn't receive a book advance, he's guaranteeing himself a royalty check from his traditional publisher...
..I don't want to mislead or even inspire and incite other authors to rush to put together a book tour like Marc's unless you have the work ethic of Marc. And unless you've been as consistent and dedicated as Marc in building a fanbase. Otherwise, you could be digging a financial hole for yourself, or putting your money and efforts toward a book tour when you could be putting it toward other marketing, promotion, and sales efforts. But fortunately for Marc, he took all the gems, jewels, suggestions, and professional advice I shared with him and he went to work working them! So, a book tour of this nature is working for him . . . in many ways.

I'm rich!

I'm wealthy!

Let's check your mindset.

How many of you immediately thought of money when you read those first two statements?

When someone is described as rich or wealthy, the first place your mind should go to is: rich or wealthy in what areas?

Because if your business savvy mind is right, if you know, then you know . . .

That being rich in relationships and having a wealth of connections is the most valuable asset you can have to achieve your dreams, visions, and goals.

Your mind not being in the right place could be the reason why you haven't achieved some of your dreams, visions, and goals.

So join Path To Publishing CEO Joylynn M. Ross today at 9:00 a.m. Pacific/Noon Est, online, in less than 30-minutes for her free online "Relationship Currency" workshop, where you will learn how to make your connections your biggest assets. You can register at https://score.tfaforms.net/112?EventID=a10Vt00000AlKC1 The workshop is 100% sponsored by SCORE, which means it's 100% free for you to attend.

We hope to see you there!

P.S. Don't believe that relationships and connections are your most valuable asset? Then come listen to the testimony of how just this month one of Path To Publishing's clients received almost $40,000 to help grow and scale their event . . . and how another was able to achieve a lifetime dream and milestone moment - not because of who she was and what she did - but because of what she said, who was listening, and who they knew could make it happen for her. https://score.tfaforms.net/112?EventID=a10Vt00000AlKC1

Put on your own mask first. And that speaks true for every area of your life, not just when given those instructions by your flight attendant on an aircraft.

As creatives, entrepreneurs, business owners, etc., we are here to serve others in some capacity with our work, services, skills, experience, expertise, and products. But I speak from experience when I say sometimes, you can get so caught up in minding other people's business that you neglect areas of your own . . . as well as those who helped (or can help) you build and grow that business. You know the saying that it's easier—and more cost effective—to nurture and keep the customers/clients you have versus acquiring new ones. Well, that is true for your existing connections and relationships as well.

I had the pleasure of taking part in a very informative, engaging, and educational discussion about what has become known as “pay to play” anthologies. A few individuals who were not fully informed shared how they felt anyone who charges people to be a part of an anthology is preying or scamming authors. I was able to share my professional advice and findings on the subject matter, of which I’ve copied and pasted below.

Charging authors to be a part of an anthology is not always actually preying on people. It's sometimes used as a business model (often referred to as hybrid or collaborative publishing, which is a very legit form of publishing depending on the company) or an additional stream of income for the influencers and persons who have worked very hard (investing lots of time, effort, blood, money, sweat and tears) to build a platform, and they are now charging others to reap the benefits of their platform.

What are some of the things I share with my literary consulting clients:

When it comes to shipping out books or for everyday business use, I order branded shipping envelopes of various sizes (that usually just have my logo or book cover on them) and I order labels (that have my logo or book cover on them).

But I also order branded envelopes in which the brand is actually a built-in label (with my logo or book cover on it).

I was doing some cleaning and found this work of art I did a few years back.

Painting is a popular wind-down activity here in Las Vegas. We have everything from paint and sips (wine down) to puff and paints, to paint and punch.

I'm always telling my writer and author clients of poetry to have a "Poetry and Paint." Do anything but have a "reading, appearance, signing, or release."

Our Story

No matter if you are traditionally published, self-published, a POD author, published with a self-publishing assistance company, vanity press, hybrid author, new author, vet author, or aspiring author, your book is YOUR business. Path To Publishing is not just about working with self-published authors and teaching them how to self-publish, but we teach authors of every genre, no matter which path to publishing they choose, about the publishing process and business, as well as the industry itself. There are thousands of self-publishing books, free webinars, and free PDFs that can teach individuals how to self-publish, but here at Path To Publishing, we like to teach those who are published how to be authors. There are far more pieces to the puzzle other than just "getting a book out there" that need to be in place in order to form the big, pretty picture called literary success. Path To Publishing helps authors find the right path to publication for their particular literary project, and stay on it.

Through conferences, workshops, webinars, one-on-one consulting and online courses, we help authors build their book, build their book business, and create multiple streams of income to sustain their book business.

The Path To Publishing community is not just writers writing books. We are literary architects building literary empires.

Books have just as great of an influence on society as music, film and dance. When it comes to declaring someone a triple threat, being an author should be an option. Path To Publishing makes sure its authors know their worth and the worth of their intellectual property.
