✨ Embarking On Awesome Adventures! ✨

Writing Your Stories IAN Style 📚

Thank you for helping me love my career as a writer!

Since the launching of my Interchangeable Action Novel©, Licensed to Sell, more and more professionals are asking me to consider writing an IAN© for them. Why? The IAN© format guides the reader/audience along multitudes of possibilities and outcomes. This is great for:

• exposing new concepts and/or ideas,

• modeling different mindsets,

• painting the picture of common mistakes, and

• offering more successful options and outcomes.

Stay tuned for a new IAN© currently in the works, co-authored with a new client, to be published in Spring 2025!

Think an IAN© would help you help others?

You Showed Up! Book Events & Coffee Talks

☕️ Let’s start with coffees: A huge thank you to everyone who joined me on the most wonderful, vulnerable, insightful virtual coffees. This is what I heard:

• “Thank you for giving me safe space to share this about myself”

• Gen Z and Gen Alpha are/will be the most diverse, educated and tech-immersed generations yet.

• Nearly a quarter of Millennials and Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ+ so to actively dismiss this population is already an obvious hinderance to your business growth.

• Inclusivity is The Way. If your business is not In with Inclusivity, it’s out of touch and undesirable to the upcoming talent pool.

• “We need this. This is awesome.” - referring to Mission Magnetosphere

• “Thank you for standing strong in this space.”

🚀 Now is the perfect time to launch Mission Magnetosphere, a 15 week program in which I consult queer entrepreneurs and small LGBTQ+ allied businesses looking to attract sustainable growth through inclusive mission-aligned marketing. So far, I have two spots available for a September start.

🎧 Heard! As those of you interacting with me the past two weeks know, I have had a double ear infection (yes, that means both ears). So thank you for showing up with kind support and understanding as I wear my new favorite business expense, my Apple AirPods Max (no, I don’t get paid for the praise).

🔮 What’s next? 

• Forward Fest! I’ll be selling/signing my book at nearly every event 🤓 

• A bit of a brand uplift with Two Lips Creative 🌟👄🌟

• New website with three simplified services:

  • Ghostwriting IAN© Books 📚

  • Inclusive Marketing Consulting 🌍 🏳️‍🌈

  • Done For You Written Content Subscriptions 🎁 

• An interview with Vicki Kenyon on Queery, her radio show on WORT radio, August 28th. 🎙️

• Book event at Novel Bay Booksellers, September 14th, 1-3 pm. ✍️

👁️‍🗨️ I’ll leave you with this last observation. ✨You!✨ You are beautiful! 🤩 Together we are:

• Inventing new opportunities for 2025 to support others.

• Plotting your next Interchangeable Action Novel© to help facilitate tough conversations or propel change with positive social impact.

• Sharing favorite resources and recipes for more healthy, joyful, juicy lives doing what we love.

🌈 Let’s keep collaborating for a more aware, safe, beautiful, diverse, equitable, and inclusive world! ✌️
