Hi Friend,
To our new subscribers, thanks for joining the Creativity Sparks newsletter for creative writers and novelists who want to build successful and sustainable careers!
To do that we need to smile, pet our furry or furry-like creatures, and surround ourselves with support, like I have done here with Leo the cat in my arms, in my office, surrounded by my books and all their wisdom that I love.
Here we focus on creating fiction and sharing it with the world.
Because when we travel into a novel we can come back home to ourselves.
Friend, I'm guessing that you write fiction to be read. I'm also guessing that you'd like to get your books into the hands of as many readers as possible, and have lots of books sales.
Reminder: I was interviewed recently on strategies to help you promote your books and increase your readership via blogging and blog tours.
You'll get instant access to the recording. Be sure to listen to the end for a very special bonus!

:: Maybe you have some tips to share with other authors and want to gain some visibility, too. Come guest blog for us! We have openings for both one-time posts and monthly columnists. Query me.
:: I'm all about helping novelists get unstuck, get writing on their novels, and deepen their commitment to their author careers. One of the ways I do that is with deep dive sessions with you. Learn more about those here.
:: Friend, Do you want to build your reach and increase your readership? Twitter can help. It can! Check out my Twitter for Authors book here: www.twitter-for-authors.com.
Soapbox Moment:: Book marketing is not a once size fits all. There is no magic bullet. Sorry. So. Experiment. Try new things. Get creative and adventurous. Go with your gut and above all have fun. Here's an example of a current fun launch contest I'm doing for my latest release, Parisian Amour here. (Yes, you can participate in this contest, and yes, I help authors shape their marketing strategies.)
:: Lastly, I still have 3 more openings for complimentary Discovery sessions with authors in July, and am now starting to schedule for August. For new clients only.
If you're ready, schedule your Discovery Session here.
Talking with me is a great way to clarify your goals, get motivated, and discover if you're ready to work with me. I'm invaluable -- and so are you! -- but to give you some frame of reference, I value these calls at $225.
Once you schedule your hour-long phone appointment (yes, Skype is available), then I'll send you a short questionnaire that you need to fill out and return to me. Schedule your Discovery Session here. |

Something to celebrate!
As I mentioned last week, I finished the first draft to my next paranormal romance novella a few weeks ago! I've gotten the first stage of feedback from my critique partners. Yep, lots of work to do!
This week, my client, Dorothy Seeger, completed her first book, and she's 83!
That's her holding up her manuscript for me!
What can you celebrate?
Did you know that when you smile and feel good about your accomplishments you actually trigger your subconscious, and your nervous system, to get used to more good things?!
Your turn: Choose a milestone, no matter how large or small, to celebrate. Then celebrate.
Share your celebration here on Facebook or email me.
How to celebrate? Feel the success! Share it with a friend. Lift a glass to yourself! I celebrated by sharing it with friends.
Why celebrate? When you acknowledge every you step you take in your creative work, you tell your subconscious that it's okay and safe to take bigger steps. |
