Breakout Romance Novel - Expanded with Launch Materials for Free!
4 months ago – Wed, Oct 09, 2024 at 02:53:28 PM

Hello, everyone!

I'm excited to share that I'm adding into the craft portion of Breakout Romance Novel with launch strategy! This is going to be a fully fledged course about every aspect of releasing a breakout novel.

Because both sides are necessary.

We do need a book that has breakout potential. That's why I originally created the Breakout Romance Novel bonus for the Kickstarter.

Once we have the right book, we need the right launch strategy.

And here's the fun part...

If you got the bonus as part of the Kickstarter, which I believe was based on how much you pledged, like over $100 or something? So you also got whatever you pledged. And then the bonus was a free add-on.

When I cleaned it up into a fresh look, it was added again for free.

And now that I'm adding two whole launch modules, guess what?

Also free.

It does sound a little crazy as I type it out, but that's how I roll. I want to give when I can. 

IF YOU DID NOT GET BREAKOUT ROMANCE NOVEL during the Kickstarter, you can purchase the whole program now:

https://www.authoradsintensive.com/breakout

The course materials on craft are live now, and the release modules launch on October 16th. If you aren't sure whether you got it, you can try logging in at authoradsintensive.com/login using the *same* email address you have for Kickstarter. If it's not listed in your programs, or if there's simply no account for you, then you didn't get it earlier.

There are also some really fun bonuses, including a guaranteed strategy session with me! That is only for new purchases. There is no separate pricing for that, so it would have to be a new purchase or someone who got it free but chooses to purchase anyway.

Other bonuses include the book, audiobook, and workbook, so if you have friends who missed the Kickstarter and have been wanting it, you can let them know.

There's also a bonus on Graphic Design Mastery for Authors, because it's actually pretty easy to make graphics that sell. And it's not the same skill as making things that are aesthetically pleasing. (It's always nice when those things overlap, but it's unfortunately rather often that you have something aesthetically pleasing that doesn't sell.)

So just to recap, if you already got Breakout Romance Novel, you will get the revamped craft materials AND the new launch materials starting Oct 16th. Though, not the bonuses. 

If you purchase it now, regardless of whether you had it before, you also get the bonuses, including a 20-minute strategy session with me to go over the specifics of your breakout launch. These take place during our live calls, which we'll vary in time to make it so that hopefully everyone can participate even if you have a day job or are outside the US.

Everyone will be able to watch the live and recorded versions of the sessions, which I think will be way more helpful than a standard Q&A. Though we will also have time for short Q&A after the session in case anything comes up.

Hope to see you inside!

Complete Refresh: Breakout Romance Novel
8 months ago – Fri, Jun 07, 2024 at 08:18:51 AM

Hello, authors!

A quick note to let you know that Breakout Romance Novel has gotten a complete refresh! What was a live call with you has now turned into a six part course with worksheets! Many of you got this as part of the Kickstarter, so you already have it. 

Some books sell well enough. And some books are breakouts. All of a sudden new readers are flocking to you. You're stumbling across mentions of your book. It seems like everyone is talking about it. Why then? Why that back? Sometimes it feels like a magic we don't control. After all, we always try to write the best book we can.

Turns out it's not a question of good or bad. It's a question of virality.

In Breakout Romance Novel, we break down what makes certain books go viral. How do you get that reader-to-reader hand-selling? This doesn't start on release day. It starts when you're writing the book.

If you got it as part of the Kickstarter, you can find it in your library here:

Last box of paperbacks + some RAM news!
about 1 year ago – Thu, Nov 16, 2023 at 10:51:03 AM

We have a single box of books leftover from our Kickstarter campaign, so if you didn't get a paperback and regretted it--or if you want to get one as a gift for an author, now is the time!

If you're interested, you can take a look and one-click here:
https://shop.skyewarren.com/products/the-bestselling-author-next-door-bundle-new

This bundle comes with the signed paperback, the e-book, audiobook, digital workbook, and digital marketing deck. We do ship internationally, though as you know, shipping fees and customs can be a lot. There are no plans for additional printings of the paperback. (Though I did an extremely small run of exclusive hardcovers for my Next Level Lab mastermind, which I'll show you guys when they arrive.)

Also...

I have the date for the next Romance Author Mastermind, which is the weekend of October 17th, 2024!

If you don't know about this, it's an event specifically for intermediate and advanced authors to help get to the next level. The speaker lineup so far is straight fire. 

I don't maintain a newsletter just for RAM but I do communicate via my newsletter for authors, which you can join here:

https://www.skyewarren.com/authors

I'll be sending out more information about the event next week, including information about the in-person and virtual options. And our In the Margins scholarship, which I'm very proud of.

OFFER: Personal Coaching with NYT bestselling author Skye Warren
over 1 year ago – Thu, Sep 28, 2023 at 11:06:38 AM

Hello, backers!

A quick note to let you know about a new program for personalized coaching with me, NYT bestselling author Skye Warren. I already launched sneak peek-ed this in the Author Thoughts newsletter and it's almost full. We've got two spots remaining if anyone is looking for a high-impact program to help get your career to the next level.

And as something fun, I'm also doing a special hardcover edition of THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR NEXT DOOR for these folks.

NEXT LEVEL LAB is specifically for romance authors who have taken courses, learned lots of things, but are still feeling stuck. We will cover things like ads strategy and book releases. More importantly, we'll position them in the wider context of your career, your strengths, and your mental blocks, so you can actually take action. If you have to-do lists a mile long but aren't seeing the lift in your book sales, this is for you.

It’s a mixture of actual hands-on business strategy mixed with mindset.

My goal is for everyone in the program to have a clear business strategy based on data that they can also execute with their own strengths and blocks in order to get to the next level. Doing the work will always be yours. NEXT LEVEL LAB is a safe container in which to figure out what actually works for you and how to scale that.

This program includes live lessons, a small group experience, and a private one-on-one session with Skye. You can join the NEXT LEVEL LAB here >

Since this is a larger investment I’m also offering payment plans.

If this isn’t in the cards for you right now, please don’t worry. This is a no-pressure offer. Something else will come along that's perfect for where you're at in your journey. I'm also running Romance Author Mastermind in 2024, so it might be that!
