Hello Reader,

How is your writing and publishing going? If you need a boost, I have three exciting updates for you today.

1) Book Update Launch

First up, there's a new edition of Creative Self-Publishing out, and I wanted to have a free copy. It has an expanded and improved planning section.

You can download at my BookFunnel Link on:

​https://selfpublishingadvice.org/SelfPubGuidebook​

ALLi member: please note this book and all ALLi guides are freely available to you already through the member zone.

2) Creative Planning Kickstarter

Alongside the book, I've also been updating the planning workbook and planners. To launch these I have a Kickstarter Campaign in the works, which will offer discounts and exclusives, and bring you a new spiral-bound edition, which many of you have asked for in the past. I'll be offering lots of planning goodies so click to register here, if you'd like to be informed when it starts.

3) This Month's Workshop: Growing Your Reader Networks

Meanwhile, on my patron planning program, we're planning how to double our book sales in the current quarter--either twice as many books as you sold across the past quarter, Q3 2023, or twice as many as you sold in Q4 last year--whichever is the bigger challenge for you.

Last month was the first of our three-month planning program around this particular challenge, where we worked on an assessment and action plan.

This month, we'll be moving onto Growing Your Reader Networks.

Tomorrow at 5pm UK time, I'll be running this workshop. If you sign up you'll have access to that workshop, and a complete planning program, with prior workshops in replay. As well as downloadable resources to help you to focus and deliver.

During the workshop you'll be offered 33 ways to grow your readership, depending on your publishing model: volume, engagement or craft. (That's 3 x 33 = 99 in all). Then you'll be guided through a process of choosing the three ways that are most right for you, right now, and how to plan the work, rest and play that will see you growing your influence and impact, as a writer and publisher, while enjoying the ride!

I'll also be introducing a new weekly rhythm map and action planner. I'll answer all your questions, live on the day, or by text message in Patreon (which goes to your email inbox, if you wish) for those workshopping in replay.

This is a patron-only program, open to both ALLi members and non-members. Go here to register on Patreon (places permitting).

Once registered, you'll be sent the links and downloads you need to attend 24 hours before the live workshop.

If you have questions, just hit reply.

I look forward to workshopping with you, live or in replay!
