Happy Tuesday!

 If you are reading this newsletter, your eyesight is still intact, and you didn't stare at the Eclipse for too long!

Give yourself one gold star for wearing protective glasses ⭐️

Below is my failed attempt at capturing the eclipse through my glasses!

Alright, let's come back down to Earth:

•  📚 A Love Song For Ricki Wilde

• 📺 Creator Win: Bookstagram 101

• 📖 New Book: Onyx Storm

This Week On Bookum:

We have some really cool updates on the app that just missed this newsletter (check app/play stores on Thursday 🤗)

We will share next week, but in the meantime, we are excited to share that we have our next date/time for our community Book Nooks!

This Thursday at 8 PM EST, we will be discussing "A Love Song For Ricki Wilde" on our real-time audio space called Nooks!

We have some really cool book creators joining us, and it's open to all who want to join the conversation (or even listen in the crowd area).

This conversation will be a blast, and we hope you can join us (Bonus points if you invite a friend who might be interested too).

I'll leave the flyer below if you would like to share!

This Week in The Book World:

One of our book creator friends is taking her Bookstagram 101 course to the next level with the relaunch!

Christina Marshall (@bookedtildawn), who some call the IG algorithm whisperer (when I say some, I mean just us for now 😆), has converted her critically-acclaimed Bookstagram 101 course into a full community membership portal.

Book content creators far and wide can join the community, learn from each other, get monthly coaching calls, and assistance from Christina, who has amassed over 144K followers on Instagram.

She has helped thousands of clients grow their bookstagrams/author pages, and if you have had struggles with growing, Christina is a great source!

This particular membership is paid, but Christina is a great follow in general and has an abundance of free/helpful content as well!

Always great to see creators helping creators and building community!
