How about $11,000 worth of free stuff (not a typo!!)
In addition to the free workshop I'm offering as a bonus for pre-ordering Edit Your Way, I'm back today with news of approximately $11,000 worth of free things thanks to 2026 Lizzy's Christmas Party! If you’ve never “attended” one of her Christmas party’s I promise it’s worth clicking through (and you can stay in your pajamas the whole time and never have to talk to a single person). Lizzy gathers some of the best business entrepreneurs, who are creating unique and helpful products, and asks them to donate something to the party. This year, these are 170+ products from established businesses, and are all proven products that have been on sale prior to the Christmas party, and haven’t been offered free anywhere else in the past 2 years. That means everything in here is pretty likely to be new-to-you as a free offer. These are a variety of products that normally sell for anything from $9 to hundreds of dollars (one of the products I recommended normally sells for $267) and if you downloaded everything (don’t do that) you’d have products totalling over $11,000!! The only catch is that you have to sign up for Lizzy’s party by December 8th. Once you’ve signed up, you have until January 14th to sign up for the individual products you want to claim. In the Google doc I've linked here, I’ve sorted through what’s on offer and pulled out around a dozen things I think will be most helpful to authors running their publishing business, to help you get started with what to choose (you can download everything, but I really don’t recommend that. Just download what you know you’ll use in the next 12 months). Take a look at these, and the other products offered on the Christmas page. Remember, it’s all free, so this is no cost to you at all. Just dig in and enjoy some free resources! The places you see the heart symbol are reviews others have made about the products. My notes about the products come at the top of each product in red! Also, on the last page of the Google doc I have a few recommendations for downloading and organizing, as well as a note about a category of products I didn’t recommend. Already know you want to sign up for Lizzy's Christmas party? You can go directly there now, sign up and start downloading your products!

Hey Reader, (There's a poll below about a possible giveaway involving Doctor Who, lol!) Yesterday was an incredibly busy day from start to finish and I'm really saying TGIF today because I worked all last weekend too! But tonight, I'm going out with a few of my favorite people to celebrate because EDIT YOUR WAY RELEASED YESTERDAY in both digital and print! I'm so so so proud of this book and the reviews coming in have been absolutely amazing. I'm so fortunate to be able to share some glowing...
Hi friends, Just a quick (and very excited) reminder that Edit Your Way officially releases tomorrow! I'm so excited for you to get your hands on this book. This afternoon, I got the first print proof in my hands and… wow. This is real. I’m a published author. 🥹✨It's a privilege to be able to call myself that after all these years. And a mindtrip, lol!! If you haven’t grabbed your copy yet, the pre-order/order bonus is still available through December 15th. Buy the book (in digital or print)...
This email has 4 quick things for you: 1) The Vellum sale ends on Monday, so don't miss out if you've been wanting to buy it. They don't do sales very often, so this is a good opportunity. We used Vellum to format Edit Your Way and they do continue to make improvements, which is great! 2) This one is TIME SENSITIVE and NEW: This Kickstarter only has about 30ish hours left. If you've been thinking of doing Facebook ads for your book(s), I think you may want to check this out. You know how I...
