author newsletter

Today we're talking about Author Newsletters. Why? Because I still have seasoned authors ask me why I feel so strongly that they need one. I break down why I think you should have one and go over the items you need from the beginning to have a successful author newsletter.

Check out my mini author newsletter course here. https://pencilsandlipstick.com/author-newsletter

In the course I break down exactly how to set one up, what to put in it, how to use BookFunnel and StoryOriginapp, what a lead magnet it, what to talk about PLUS you get access to my PDFs Author Email Ideas and Lead Magnet Ideas for Authors included.

I can't say enough about how much I love the Author Accelerator program! If you want to know more about becoming a book coach, click on my affiliate link here: https://katcaldwell.com/fiction-certificate
