📚✨ BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT KUNZ PUBLISHING! ✨📚

I’m so excited to introduce Self-Publish Solutions (SPS) — an extension of Kunz Publishing and yet another way for me to do what I love most: help people tell their stories. 💙

Have a book idea? A manuscript sitting on your computer? A story you’ve always said you’d write “someday”? Someday can be now.

I’ve partnered with an incredible team of writers, editors, illustrators, designers, and publishing professionals who can help take your idea from concept ➡️ finished book.

We can help with everything from writing and editing to design, publishing, print and distribution — including getting your book available on Amazon and other major channels. And most importantly, it’s YOUR book. We help you set it up so your royalties go directly to YOU. 🙌

But here’s what makes SPS different…

We don’t stop when your book gets published.

Through Kunz Publishing, I’ve built relationships with an incredible network of marketing partners — including BVM, local media, radio, social media professionals, podcasts, event venues, community organizations and more.

Because publishing a great book is only part of the equation.

📣 People need to KNOW ABOUT IT.

From book launches and signings to interviews, podcasts, community events and digital marketing, we can help authors actually get their story in front of people.

If you’ve ever thought, “I have a book in me…” — I want to hear about it!

👇 Fill out the interest form below and tell us about your book or idea. Someone from our team will be in touch!

https://forms.gle/LPxYQZtaVrjmetpM9

Your story. Your book. Your royalties.
Let’s get it out into the world. 💙📚

🏠✨ SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT! ✨🏠

Today, I’m celebrating a small business that truly means COMMUNITY — Arcos Iris! ❤️

If you live in Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati, or Southeast Indiana, there’s a good chance you’ve seen their work — or even have an Arcos Iris project right in your own community!

This incredible family-owned business has been serving the Tri-State for years and continues to support SO many of the communities I’m lucky enough to work with, including:

📍 Villa Hills & Crescent Springs
📍 Edgewood & Crestview Hills
📍 Fort Mitchell
📍 Walton
📍 Maysville
📍 Union
📍 Hebron
📍 Madeira
📍 Indian Hill
📍 Lawrenceburg, Indiana
📍 Hidden Valley
…and so many more!

Whether you’re remodeling, building something new, or bringing your dream home project to life, Arcos Iris is a company you can trust.

And let me tell you — you’re not going to find better workmanship or a better deal. Their attention to detail, quality, and commitment to their customers speaks for itself. 👏

But what I love most? They don’t just do business in our communities — they invest in them. ❤️

So this Small Business Saturday, let’s support the local businesses that support US!

👉 Need a project done? Call Charles at Arcos Iris and tell him Kara sent you!

Let’s keep our dollars local and our communities strong. 🏡💙
