Helpful information for you

In my effort to provide resources to help you beyond just book writing and editing (because frankly, there’s so much more involved than just writing), I’ve connected with other folks who have resources I think could benefit you.

Your Audience Can Grow WITHOUT Social Media

Have you ever asked yourself, “What if I could STOP posting on Instagram and STILL grow my audience?”

My friend Andria Singletary can show you exactly how. Marketing Without Social Media Coach Andria helps those who want to build businesses that are social media optional. Andria’s goal is to give you the OPTION of coming off the apps if you desire it.

You’ve been told that:
❌ “You have to be active on social media to attract an audience.”
❌ “The algorithm will make or break your reach.”
❌ “Your growth will fail if you don’t post consistently.”

But here’s the truth: Your audience and reach doesn’t have to be tied to an app.

You CAN Make Social Media Optional and THRIVE.

Andria is a wife, mama of two active toddlers, and a Marketing Without Social Media Coach for moms who want to build businesses that are social media optional.

Whether you’re a mom or not, spending hours on Instagram is unrealistic—it’s draining.

✨ What if you could:
✔️ Generate consistent leads without posting every day?
✔️ Make sales while spending LESS time online?
✔️ Use strategies that actually work—even when you’re offline?

It’s possible. And Andria will show you how in her FREE private podcast series: Make Social Media Optional.

🎧 In this 5-part series, you’ll learn:

Why social media isn’t the only way to market to your audience (and what to do instead)
How to create a realistic non-social media marketing plan that works even when life gets chaotic
The best non-social media platforms for visibility, lead generation, nurturing your audience, and sales (and how to decide which platforms are right for you)

No reels. No trending audios. Just proven strategies that give you time back in your day and freedom in your business.

Andria’s goal is to give you the OPTION of coming off the apps if you desire it. If that sounds like you, 💌 Click the button below to sign up for Make Social Media Optional Private Podcast and get instant access to this free series!

Backstory: It’s not a bad word, and done right, it gives your characters everything they need to come to life on your page

This week my other resource is… me! I’m teaching a class on Backstory.

Backstory is one of the most common issues authors struggle with. Done poorly, it results in info dumps that stall the narrative. And yet we are all creatures of our pasts, and our characters are no exception. Letting your readers in on what makes your characters tick will help draw them in emotionally. Backstory can be a powerful tool when used correctly.

I’m teaching this Wednesday, August 13 at 10:30 PDT. You have to register, but you’ll get a recording and all the handouts. We go for 45-60 minutes with time for Q&A afterward.

Pressing on!
