Hello Reader

It's Orna here. I hope this email finds you well and brimming with creative energy!

This is a one-off reach out with two updates about the Go Creative! planning program I devised for indie authors--designed to optimize our creative energies, so we can go from dream to done! The planners, and the associated programs, underwrite my own busy life as a writer, publisher and founder-director of ALLi, the Alliance of Independent Authors.

For a while now I've been offering the program to a select group of indie authors in two planning and workshop groups, while I experimented and explored, reflected and refined it.

Now all is as good as can be and ready to be more widely shared.

I'm doing that in two ways: a free membership on Patreon and a Kickstarter campaign.

Creative Planning Membership (Free)

As you may know, I've been on a bit of a mission lately to find better community platforms for our tight-knit community of indie authors and creative planners. Over the years, your support, feedback, and engagement have been hugely instrumental in shaping how ALLi and I approach and share knowledge about self-publishing and creative planning.

I've been in search of a platform that can cater to our evolving needs, and I'm thrilled to announce that I've found two perfect places, one for self-publishers (more about that anon), and one for our community of creative planners.

In fact, while I was looking, the perfect platform for planners came and found me, when Patreon upgraded their offering. Yes, Patreon is now offering a FREE membership tier! 🎉

So I'm moving our creative planning list off our Facebook group, over thereFor the free membership, I'll be curating monthly insights from the best research into creative and imaginative planning. (No high falutin' theories or dumb studies, just proven techniques to increase your influence, impact, income and enjoyment, as an indie author). I'll also be offering my take on the latest self-publishing news from a planning perspective. The focus will be on empowering you to be more you, in your writing and your publishing.

Of course all of this will also be available to paid patrons, who are signed up to the planning accountability, or monthly workshop, programs.

Joining is simple! Just click the link below, sign up on Patreon, and choose the free membership tier.

Creative Planning Kickstarter (Paid)

I'm also running a Kickstarter to create my updated planners in a new spiral-bound format. And I've created a three-month and one-year course for authors who want to learn, or teach, the Go Creative! planning method.

Sign up here to be notified when it launches: SelfPublishingAdvice.org/planners24​

Thank you for listening to this special broadcast about creative planning! I'll be letting those who've signed up for the planning list know more about the crowdfunder over the next two weeks. If you'd rather not receive these mails, please opt out here. (unsubscribing below will opt you out of ALL emails from me and ALLi too.

Whether you want to learn or to teach the program, there is a reward tier for everyone. I hope you’ll join me as I turn the page on this next chapter in my self-publishing story.

Until next time,

Happy writing and publishing!

Orna
