You can pick-up a perfect bound copy of the planner on Amazon, or grab a copy of the coil-bound version from Lulu.

I own a copy of the planner (and I love it!), so I was thrilled to get an opportunity to talk to Audrey all about it in the latest episode of The Writing Coach podcast. During our conversation, Audrey describes:

• Where the original idea of the planner came from (and how it sent her NaNoWriMo in an entirely new direction)
• How she worked with her community of authors to create a product she knew they would find valuable
• The role planning, tracking, and reviewing plays in achieving goals, selling books, and building an author business
• Why she chose to publish the book using the Lulu platform in additional Amazon’s CreateSpace
• How and why she was able to create three different covers for her planner
• And much more!

Whether you’re on the lookout for a planner to help get your author business organized, or just curious about the behind-the-scenes work that goes into creating a product like this, you won’t want to miss this episode.
