Anyone that has an inkling to write a book, should write it. Everyone has a unique story or insight that can be beneficial to others. Writing a book can also be a great business tool that can open doors for you to a new industry or create buzz around your personal brand.
Whatever the function of your book, the process isn’t cut and dried. Do you go through traditional publishers, or do you self-publish, how long should the book be, how do you market the book, and who does the editing?
As someone that is new to launching a book, these details can seem daunting. We wanted to help take some of the guesswork out of the equation so we invited the best-selling author of ‘Self Publish and Succeed’, Julie Broad, to our podcast to let us in on some of the details on how to self-publish a book.
Julie has done the heavy lifting where she now has the knowledge of what works and what doesn’t, as well as practical tips on where to start and what to do after your book is written.
Tune in for sage advice and tips on how you can launch your own book!
