A Book of Your Own: Part One and Two (BUNDLE)

Early bird discount! Purchase Part 1 and 2 for $79 (regularly $99 after Part 2 launches). 
Part Two coming later this Fall — your bundle covers both.

Ready to hold your very own book in your hands and create an author career in alignment with your values and season of life?

You don’t need an agent, unlimited time at a writer’s retreat, or an MFA. You can be deep in the trenches of motherhood, a career pivot, or a health challenge and still finish your book. I know, because I did. After 10+ years of effort, I self-published The Pattern Shop and founded Pocket Lamp Press, finally sharing my story with the world. 

You can, too. 

In Part 1 we cover: (1 hour)
✍🏻 The different stages of editing — and what to expect to pay a professional
📖 Interior design 
📔 All the elements you'll need for the cover design 
🖨️ Print on demand vs. keeping your own inventory (and why I chose both)
💲 How and where to sell it with details on profit margins

What you'll receive:
📩 Video download (yours to keep, watch offline)
🔗 Link to watch on YouTube (fastest, works on any device)
💸 Budget worksheet
📑 Self-publishing resource guide

By the end, you'll have a finished, print-ready book and a way to sell it that doesn't depend on Amazon.

In Part 2 we cover: (coming later this Fall)

👥 Crowdfunding
💻 E-commerce and point of sale options
📢 Marketing strategies: what’s worked and what hasn’t
💞 Leveraging relationships and building community
🤖 How I used AI (and how I didn’t)
📈 Tracking inventory and business finances
💸 Alternate revenue streams (other than book sales)

What you'll receive:
📩 Video download (yours to keep, watch offline)
🔗 Link to watch on YouTube (fastest, works on any device)
💸 Inventory and sales tracking template
📑 Reflection sheet 

By the end, you'll have a clear picture of what success looks like for you in this season.
