Listen Later

What I've been up to in July, what I've learned, goals for August and your monthly tips.

 

What I've been up to, such as:

  • Editing.
  • Working out low cost launch plans for my new book, A Sleuth & a Charlatan.
  • Reading fiction & non-fiction, including Big Magic, by Elizabeth Gilbert and David Gaughran's BookBub Ads Expert.
  • Reformatted A Thief & a Gentlewoman's paperback size.
  • Reviewed notes for Strangers to Superfans (also by David Gaughran) to plan what I need to implement.

 

I talk 20Books to Edinburgh, including:

  • Delayed flights and working at the airport.
  • Catching up with existing friends and making new ones.
  • Feeling even more of a sense of belonging with my tribe.
  • My first writing retreat – making a start on drafting my pirate books.
  • Getting my arse kicked by mad people who get up at 5am.
  • Getting my arse kicked/being made to cry in the nicest way by Lyz Kelley – all part of finding your inner, truest why, leading to your inner, truest brand.
  • Cool plans for a potential collaboration … More information soon.
