The 7 Pillars of a Sustainable, Income-Generating Author Life - Next Week's Free Mini-Workshop


Hello Author Friends,

Next Tuesday, July 29, is the second installment in my free 6-part summer series devoted to the top 6 things I write and teach about to boost your author income, author business, author goals, and author satisfaction.

Please join us! I'll be talking about the 7 pillars of an sustainable, income-generating author life you'll love. These aren't theoretical pillars, they are the actual things I've seen again and again in my 25+ years at this.

When I see an author having a harder time than they should? I look for these 7 things and, inevitably, I'll find one or two that are notably missing...the things holding someone back from easier, enduring business success as an author.

The workshop takes place at Volumes Bookcafe, 1373 N Milwaukee, in Wicker Park, 6:30pm-8pm.
