SAVY WRITES BOOKS

a channel about books & business!
i review awful self-help books by scammy business gurus, discuss the ethics of various business practices, talk about my own experiences as a small business owner, and discuss taking down MLM (multi-level marketing) companies. this channel is pro-women, pro-LGBTQ, pro-free-speech, and anti-MLM, anti-scammer, and anti-echo-chamber.

A QUICK UPDATE! Tomorrow, I will be posting a video about Stickergate - that will be my last video for 2025 (unless something major changes). In January & February 2026, I will return with the following topics:

- Empress Theresa review part 1 (I'm breaking this into at least 2 parts because it's getting LONG)
- A review of the new Colleen Hoover book coming in January
- A review of the new Jennette McCurdy book

I know I originally planned to have the first part of Empress Theresa out before the end of 2025, but y'all, this story is LONG! I promise I'll make it worth the wait!

I hope you're all having an excellent start to December, and I hope winter is treating you well so far!


But after tomorrow's video, I'm excited to take a holiday break to get A TON OF WRITING DONE, plus spend lots of time with my friends & family!

Thank you all so much for your support this year!

Through the end of 2025, I'm selling a Happy Pawlidays sticker! I made this one special for the holiday season. Plus, I'm doing a holiday season sale where you can get 12 stickers for $30. (Normally, stickers are $5 each, or you can get 10 for $30. So, 2 extra stickers for free!)

A FEW BIG UPDATES!!! Read em all! 😁

1) The sticker fundraiser officially finished on Halloween! Ready for the final total? We raised ...
$11,000! ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!
I'm so excited about how well this went!
I posted a few weeks ago with the first 5,000 donation, so we had 6,000 left to give. Today, I gave $1,200 to 5 charities: World Central Kitchen (specifically their fund for serving meals in Gaza), Trans Lifeline, Planned Parenthood, the Illinois ACLU, and the Autistic Self Advocacy Network.
See attached screenshots below!

(EDITED to add: I still have about 100 orders left to ship out, so if you didn't receive your stickers yet, you should get them by next week. I'm hoping to have the rest of the orders in the mail this week. Thank you all for your patience as I navigated my biggest order yet!)

2) the Chicago bracelets also brought in $640 for Indivisible Chicago! Last week, I posted on my community tab showing the receipt for that donation.

3) now that those fundraisers have ended, if you're still looking to get involved, I'm happy to announce that I've joined a new November writing challenge organized by fellow romance author Lyssa Kay Adams!

The challenge is called Writers Against Hunger, and all funds raised go to Feeding America, as a way to help with the government cutting SNAP benefits.

I kicked off my personal page with a $100 donation, but the entire challenge as a whole has already raised over $12,000 among all the writers!

If you're interested in joining my team for the challenge or donating to the cause, you can join here: teamfeed.feedingamerica.org/participants/18751

I'll hopefully have time to run some writing streams on this channel for the challenge later this month.

I'm so, so grateful for this community. You are all so amazing, and I'm really thankful to have such wonderful, creative people here especially when the world is so scary.

You're all the best!

The Chicago themed bracelet merch brought in $640 for Indivisible Chicago! I just made the donation. Thank you so much to everyone for your support. Tomorrow will be the last day for the sticker fundraiser. I may keep the stickers available for a bit, but tomorrow will be the last day for the fundraiser officially.

All right! I've got my last 3 videos for 2025 all planned out! Ready?
This coming Friday, we're reviewing the ABSOLUTELY UNHINGED sequel to "Eat Pray Love." It's quite possibly the weirdest "self-help" memoir I've ever read.
Then, for Halloween, we're reviewing something truly scary ... Kash Patel's OTHER TWO CHILDREN'S BOOKS!
And then, to close off 2025, in mid-November, as promised, I'll be reviewing EMPRESS THERESA! I'm in the process of getting through that book right now and y'all ... there's a lot to unpack!
See you Friday!

On Friday, I started selling some Chicago themed bracelets as a fundraiser for Indivisible Chicago, who's doing a lot to help with the horrific ICE raids happening in our city right now. I can't believe the bracelets sold out in the FIRST DAY! So, I just made a bunch more, and I restocked on the website! If these all sell out, I'll make more this coming weekend. But for now, here they are! More designs on the website too. 100% of profits go to Indivisible Chicago. Website here: savywritesbooks.myshopify.com/products/fundraiser-…
