A Headline Moment in the Studio - When a Story Is Ready to Launch
Dear {{contact.first_name}},
Some weeks are outward-facing. Others are for focused, creative work behind closed doors.
This past week was very much the latter — a return to the office, deep into pages, proofs, and planning. The kind of work that doesn’t always show immediately, but lays the foundation for what comes next.
The days were filled with books and big ideas:
– Continuing work on Goose Creek State Park in North Carolina
– Preparing for the launch of Tame Your Money Monster
– Holding the very first proof copy in hand (that moment never gets old!! :-)
– Laying the groundwork for a brand-new project soon to be shared
Thoughtfully,
Bibi
Not every marketing win happens at launch.
Some of the strongest marketing is built long before anyone sees the final product — in the process, the people behind the work, and the stories that shape it.
Sharing how something is made, who made it, and why it matters creates connection long before a call to action appears. When the launch comes, the audience is already invested — because they’ve been part of the journey.
This week’s reminder:
Let your process be part of your marketing.
✨ SPECIAL MOMENT ✨
Tame Your Money Monster
Seeing the first proof copy of Tame Your Money Monster, a book we created for Success Your Way, was one of those quiet but powerful milestones.
This book tackles a topic many people avoid — money — and makes it approachable, visual, and honest. It’s not about fear or formulas. It’s about understanding our relationship with money and rewriting that story in a healthier, more empowering way.
We’re grateful that the book has finally been launched and is now out in the world, ready to inspire and guide readers on their own journeys toward financial clarity and confidence. It’s a moment we’ll always remember, and we’re excited to see how it will make a difference for so many people.

✨ PALETTE TALKS ✨
Designing Stories in Full Color: Meet Oliver
In our latest Palette Talks post, we introduce Oliver, our full-time designer — and the creative force behind many of the visuals you see across our books.
When asked which project he’s most proud of, his answer was immediate: Tame Your Money Monster.
For Oliver, this project was deeply personal.
“It has always been my dream to create my own comic book illustration. While the story wasn’t originally mine, bringing the comic to life fulfilled that dream.”
Completing Book 1 wasn’t just a milestone for the project — it was a milestone for Oliver as a storyteller and illustrator as well.
Palette Talks is our way of pulling back the curtain and sharing the people, passion, and creative process behind the pages.
