WHAT HAPPENED IN VEGAS...
I made it back alive...
Vegas, was.... expensive, tiring, smelly, but absolutely Fabulous
(as the sign says!)
Hello to all of those people I met there this year... it was great to meet old friends and get to know some new ones.
I had catch ups with Kathleen from BookBrush, James from Learn Self Publishing, all the team from Bookvault, the guys from ProWritingAid, Isabelle from Grow Your Author Brand and Aryrn from Book Rockstar to name just a few. It was very busy but great to be out of the house and not just talking to my dog, wife and daughter, or self.
We are already working with a number of people who we met, and I can't wait to share with you some of the sites we are building and some of the projects we are working on.
I did a session (to a very hot and full room) on how to make your author website work for you, and the feedback was great.
So the next bit is like a nightmare evening round at a relatives house who shows you their holiday snaps, but anyway, here are some of my holiday snaps... :)
A massive thanks to Joe Solari, Suze Solari, Chelle Honiker and the rest of the team for a world class event!
THE MOST AMAZING THING I SAW IN VEGAS...
...wasn't the Grand Canyon or The Fountains at the Bellagio,
it was actually new tech from my friends at PublishDrive.
They have just released this insane (beta) tool where you upload your manuscript and this tool creates book covers for you based on the genre of your book (which it works out) and it bring elements of the story to the cover.
PLUS it will produce Audio book versions of the cover too.
I tried it with a manuscript from Ellie and this is what it came up with, in JUST A FEW MINUTES. It is incredible and well worth thinking about when you next need a cover in a hurry!
See what it can do below... try it for yourself
Just look for the "cover image generator"
PublishDrive has loads of tools to help you grow your author business, from Universal LInks, Ebook and Audio book Distribution, Meta Data generator and LOADS MORE!
I had a nose round the other day and I have to say this really is a great one stop shop for authors!

**For the price of two coffees and muffins in Vegas
We have been hard at work this month with sites getting delivered, and I think both Ellie and I are looking forward to a bit of downtime over Christmas.
See below just 3 of the 10 sites we delivered this month!

In the new year, I am hoping to have a few people chat with me on a Facebook Live or podcast type set up... one of my first guests will be Susie Tate. We have not long finished her site and in conversation she told me she adds ONE THOUSAND new subscribers to her mailing list, every month. I think it would be great to hear what she has to say... so keep your eyes peeled for details on that.

That's it for now from your favourite Author Website Creators!
