Well worth the wait…to join in all of the celebrations and fun brain work! So much news to chew on, and events to save in the calendar, especially if you’re a reader, writer, or entrepreneur. Are you ready?
Small thing- I published a book! I know now why people call them their book babies. Wowza! My book, Licensed to Sell, is expected to deliver this week!
Licensed To Sell Book Launch Party!
My debut novel, Licensed to Sell, will be released to the world in June! Thank you to every one of my supporters so far. Your support helps me ten times more than if you purchased my book from any other store. Ten times! Celebrate with me at the book launch party at 100State, June 14th, 5-7 PM.

I'm so grateful to share this empowering book with you all. Spread the love by ordering your copy today!
If you pre-ordered a copy of my book (THANK YOU!) your order should be processed by June 1, 2024. I’m at the mercy of Lulu Press right now. As soon as I approve this author copy, your orders will be processed and Lulu could take two weeks to ship you the fresh book off the press. Let’s hope you get them in time for the book launch party so I can sign them for you. 🤞 I will have copies there for purchase as well (I’m planning to pay extra in shipping to get inventory to the fashion show and book launch party).
Do you know anyone who would be excited to stay in touch? Invite awesome people to sign up for my newsletter to receive updates on events and more marketing inspiration...straight from the heart! Stay tuned for a new offer I’m designing for LGBTQIA-owned businesses who want to increase testimonials and sales traffic.
Gosh- we haven’t even discussed June 🏳️🌈 PRIDE events yet! I’ll have to write another newsletter soon! Feel free to email me questions or topics to address.
With overflowing love and gratitude,
Laura Paisley Beck
