Finish Strong: End-of-Year Creative Planning Workshop for Authors
Hello Reader,
It's the end of November, which means that 2023 is almost over--but don't put your feet up just yet! You still have time to put some key actions in place to help you sell more books in this final month of the year.
What should those actions be? That's the topic of the creative planning workshop this coming Thursday, where I'll be bringing authors through a process that answers that question for each, individually.
Join us to answer that key question for yourself and walk away with a skill you can take with you into 2024.
This Month's Creative Planning Workshop
Finish Strong: Amplifying Your Momentum is a workshop that explores how to maximize your December book sales with short-term actions that work for you--your books, your publishing model, your book marketing style.
We'll explore 99 actionable insights and techniques. Then, bearing in mind your time, money, and resources, you'll choose from the options available to you. The workshop also includes an "Ask Me Anything", in which I answer all your questions, live or by messenger in Patreon. Nobody left behind is the policy.
Register here, places permitting. Once registered, you'll receive the links and downloads you need to attend or watch in replay 24 hours in advance of the live workshop.
About the Go Creative! Planning Program
My Go Creative! planning program for authors and poets runs on Patreon and is open to ALLi members and non-members. As well as the live workshop, the program includes:
- weekly accountability,
- dedicated planners and other downloadable PDF resources,
- a library of workshops in replay
This week's workshop is the final part of a three-part series, Double Your Book Sales This Quarter. The two other two videos from the series are also available to workshop patrons in replay.
I look forward to workshopping with you, live or in replay!

Hello Reader, Some time ago, I started a Patreon community, to offer more directed engagement with authors than was possible through the Alliance of Independent Authors. A smaller, more intimate program of exclusive workshops, Q&A sessions, and personalized advice tailored to your unique needs. More recently I've expanded it to include a Podcast Patron program based around my new Go Creative! podcast which is not just for authors but for everyone who wants to live a more creative life, in all...
Hello Reader, Kayleigh here, I hope you had a great Easter / Oestre / Passover / Chocofest. This is an email to let you know that Orna Ross's next live creative planning workshop is set to take place tomorrow, Thursday 4th April at 5pm (UTC). These workshops are run through Patreon and are Orna's way of offering more personal attention than she can offer through ALLi. Across the quarter to come, the planning workshops' focus is on email marketing. Q2 2024 Go Creative! Planning Workshops:...
Hello Reader, Welcome to your monthly self-publishing round-up, bringing you the latest from the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi), the Self-Publishing Advice Center, and the Go Creative! planning programs for authors. A slight delay in transmission this month, as the ALLi team were out and about more than usual, and set back with some illness and family issues. We decided to hold your newsletter over until after Easter, in case it got lots among the resurrection rituals or chocolate...
