I'm excited to introduce The Weekly Writer's Lounge, a dedicated space in our community where we come together every week to reflect, share, and inspire. Each week, I'll post a thought-provoking prompt designed to spark meaningful conversation. From the stories behind your books, to leadership lessons learned, to the real challenges of self-publishing, this is your chance to: - Share your journey with like-minded leader-authors - Gain fresh perspectives from fellow members - Break through writer's block with community wisdom - Celebrate wins, big and small How it works: - A new prompt drops every week - Take a minute to reflect and reply with your thoughts - Engage with others This is not just about writing better books. It is about growing as leaders, thinkers, and storytellers. So grab a virtual seat, pour your favorite drink, and make yourself at home. The first prompt is live. Let the conversation begin!

You're in the right place. Publishing a book as a thought leader is one of the most powerful things you can do for your business and your legacy. It positions you as the authority in your space, opens doors to speaking engagements, media features, and high-value clients, and creates something that outlasts any single conversation or social media post. Whether your book has been living in your head for years or you're just beginning to put the pieces together, this community was built for you. Self Publishing for Leaders exists for one reason: to help thought leaders like you stop saying 'someday' and start saying 'published'. This is a community space for professionals, coaches, consultants, speakers, and experts who are ready to share their knowledge with the world through a book — and use that book to build authority, attract clients, and leave a lasting legacy. Here's How it Works: Step 1: Introduce Yourself. Head over to the Introduce Yourself category and tell us who you are, what you do, and what your book is about — or what you want it to be about. Take a picture of yourself at your workspace, with your book or your favorite book (pets at workspaces are also welcome!) Don't be shy: this community is judgment-free. Step 2: Check the Calendar at the top of our community and make sure to add our two FREE community engagements: Group Coaching Workshops on the third Tuesday of the month and our Coffee Chats on the second Thursdays of the month. There's a convenient calendar download for each event! Come to as many as you like, and make sure to invite a friend! Step 3: Invite other Skoolers you know to join the group using your invite link. The more people join, the more people there are to promote to! Step 4: Explore the Categories. Browse the community categories to find the conversations most relevant to your current journey stage. Jump in, ask questions, and share what you know.

We want to know who you are! One of the best parts of this community is the incredible group of thought leaders inside it — and that means you. Take a few minutes to introduce yourself so we can cheer you on, connect with you, and support your journey.
