Hi there! Duolit is on hiatus, but please feel free to explore our extensive archive of posts and our free Weekend Book Marketing Makeover. Thanks for visiting!

For authors who want to make 2013 their year (more on that secret cliffhanger!)

Note: The secrets have now been revealed. Click here for the details!

I’ve always been a nightowl, but this is starting to get extreme.

As if the holiday season wasn’t busy enough (I have about a third of my Christmas shopping done…holy buckets) I’m also trying to write my second book, promote my first book, perform my daily Duolit duties, and plan a huge party for my baby brother who’s graduating from college this weekend.

…again, I must say, holy buckets.

But, where a month ago I was struggling to simply make myself write for an hour and spend five minutes on social media, right now I’m flying from one task to the next like an Olympic sprinter.

I know you want to know the secrets — your comments from last week definitely showed that! — and you have my sincere apologies for the cliffhanger.

I’m not trying to be a jerk (promise!), it’s just that I need to present my secrets to you in just the right way. Because, on the surface, they might not seem like much, but put in direct context of how they help you make over your author career, they’re everything.

Did I mention that I made $400 in book sales this weekend?

In four hours, at one book signing, I sold so many books that at one point I lost count, which was a total first for me.

It was a great feeling, and I want you to have that feeling, too!

But, while I’m putting together my secrets, I have a favor to ask. Would you take a minute or so to fill out a quick, three question survey?

The Short, Totally Simple Survey

After we all spent some time in the last post reflecting on 2012, Toni and I want to know exactly what we can do to help your author career take off in 2013.

So take just a few minutes and fill out our survey, please! :-) The next time you hear from me, I will reveal all (promise).
