  • From Spooky Season to Sleigh Your Season: A Simple, AI-Backed Blueprint for Indie Authors
    Oct 15 2025

    Send us a text

    It’s skeletons-on-the-lawn season, but we’re talking holiday sales—because nothing is scarier than hitting December with “vibes + a coupon code.” In this episode, I break down why an AI-assisted plan is your unfair advantage this year and what actually goes into a calm, zero-chaos strategy you can stick to. (The step-by-step how happens live in my upcoming masterclass—details below.)

    You’ll learn:

    • Why books are still the cozy, affordable gift (even when the economy is wonky AF)
    • The 6-rung Holiday Ladder: Spark → Launch → Amplify → Ship → Digital Pivot → New-Year Reset
    • How to pick one seasonal win and a giftable hero offer readers actually want
    • Why a real ship-by date saves your sanity—and how to pivot to all-digital after
    • The only 3 KPIs worth watching (no spreadsheet monsters)
    • A quick on-air prompt to craft your 20-word “perfect gift” hook in ChatGPT

    Want the HOW with me as your copilot?

  • End of an Era: Behind the Scenes at Author Revolution
    Sep 17 2025

    Send us a text

    This week, I’m getting vulnerable and taking you behind the scenes of a major pivot at Author Revolution. After years in constant creation mode—masterclasses, courses, memberships, podcasts—I’m pressing pause on “business as usual” to close out one era and make space for what’s next.

    I share how 2024–2025 became my phoenix year: the collapse, the lessons, the hermit/role-model season (hello, Manifesting Generator life), and the clarity that’s emerging as I realign with what Author Revolution is truly meant to be. If you’ve felt the nudge to prune, simplify, or let go in your own author life, this one’s for you.

    In this episode:

    • Why endings aren’t failures—they’re invitations to align
    • What it looked like when partnerships, systems, and “shoulds” fell away
    • The real difference between mindset-only work and bringing your body/nervous system on board
    • How pruning creates room for your next chapter (and how to spot what to release)
    • A peek at what’s coming:
      • Write Your Reality – dropping December
      • Write Frame of Mind (2025 Edition) – dropping November
      • Three brand-new, streamlined courses for 2026 designed for this new era of authorship

    The Course Vault Sale (limited time)

    To honor this transition, I’ve opened the Author Revolution Course Vault Sale. You can pick up themed bundles or grab the All-Access Vault Key to unlock (almost) everything before it’s archived.
    ➡️ All details live at authorrevolution.org
    (Excludes 4 Books, 5 Days and my audiobook programs.)

    Mentioned

    • Author Revolution Course Vault Sale: authorrevolution.org
    • Write Your Reality (Dec) & Write Frame of Mind 2025 Edition (Nov)

    Takeaways for aligned authors

    • Pruning ≠ quitting; it’s strategic space-making
    • Your business evolves as you do—let it
    • Mid-manifestation is still momentum

    If you’re ready to simplify, realign, and rise—this episode is your permission slip.

    Until next time… go forth and start your author revolution!

  • The Taylor Swift Method: Revitalizing Your Backlist Books
    Aug 20 2025

    Send us a text

    Ever feel like you're trapped on the publishing hamster wheel, churning out book after book just to stay relevant? You're not alone. For years, certain corners of the indie publishing world have been pushing the "publish fast, publish often" mantra, leaving authors exhausted and overlooking a goldmine sitting right in their back pocket—their backlist.

    In this game-changing episode, we explore how Taylor Swift has mastered the art of keeping her entire catalog alive, relevant, and profitable year after year. From turning a decade-old song into a cultural phenomenon to weaving interconnected stories across platforms, Taylor demonstrates that creative work doesn't have an expiration date. Your books deserve the same treatment.

    We break down three powerful principles from Taylor's playbook that any author can apply: finding new hooks for old works, making every release feed the whole catalog, and playing the long game with a cohesive marketing strategy. These techniques transform your backlist from forgotten projects into valuable assets that continue generating income without requiring constant new creation.

    Ready to stop treating your books like one-and-done projects and start giving them the life and sales they deserve? Discover how to identify your most profitable backlist titles, use ChatGPT to create promotional content in minutes, and automate your marketing cycles for sustainable success. Your author revolution starts now—join us to learn how your existing books can become your greatest asset, not just another digital dusty shelf.

    For just $37, you’ll learn how to use ChatGPT to revitalize your backlist like the Taylor Swift of the book world! 👉 Grab your spot here: https://www.authorrevolution.org/offers/2ziAQFXP/checkout
