You have an awesome book idea, but you have no idea what to do with it. If this sounds like you, then this episode is for you!

The publishing process may seem a bit daunting, but you’ll learn a ton of helpful tips in this interview like how to set your pitch apart, how your pitches will change based on the type of book you’re writing, and how you can fine-tune your book idea and proposal. Enjoy!
