Stepping into the publishing world can feel overwhelming, especially when you hear about the less-than-favorable experiences some authors have had. It's a bit like navigating a new city without a map. I've been there, trying to figure it out, sometimes feeling like I'm fighting battles on behalf of authors who just want to share their stories without falling into common traps. So in an effort to help as many would-be authors as possible, I’m putting on my cape and swooping in to save the day! Step 1: Start with research. It's crucial to know what you're getting into. I've learned that understanding the industry's pitfalls is the first step to avoiding them. Be cautious with hybrid and self-publishers that charge you a fortune for little in return, and always question offers that seem too good to be true. A bit of skepticism can save you a lot of trouble. Step 2: Pick the right partners. My path to becoming a Book Publisher & Marketer was anything but straightforward, but it taught me the value of choosing partners carefully. Whether it's an agent, a publisher, or a marketing team, do your homework. Look for reviews, ask for references, and trust your instincts. The right partners will be transparent and willing to answer your questions. Step 3: Maintain your integrity. Your book is a reflection of you. Don't compromise your values for the sake of shortcuts or promises of quick success. I've always believed in being true to oneself, whether in personal life or professional endeavors. Market your book in a way that aligns with your principles. Authenticity resonates with readers and builds lasting relationships. Navigating the publishing industry with integrity and caution might seem like a challenge, but it's definitely possible. By arming yourself with knowledge, carefully choosing who you work with, and staying true to your values, you can successfully publish and market your book. It’s about making informed decisions and staying authentic to yourself and your readers. I’m here to ensure you embark on this journey with confidence, knowing you're making the best choices for your brand.

Today officially marks 4 months before my book release on December 17th! What usually happens during this time in the book publishing process? - I turned in my last round of edits (technically last month). Every major publisher is different but there were four rounds of edits done between me and the publishing editors and then a proofreading round. Transparently, I don't think I could've done ONE more round 😂 . I was tired of re-reading my words, but grateful to have other eyes pick up what I had become accustomed to see. - I approved final book cover edits this past week. Saw the advanced reading copy reviews on the cover + the author's photo placed and ready for final print. Probably the most exciting thing that's making it feel real. - Intensive marketing and book launch strategy kicked off. Working out the marketing and book launch timeline and strategy, I realized that the 6-week pre-sale mark is exactly on election day. Interesting timing! But definitely think the resources of using the breath to calm one's nervous system will be a useful tool that's top of mind on Nov. 5th. Entering an intensive work sprint both for the book and for the business but excited for all this momentum! P.S. Was a hard choice between all of the options but finally landed on the author's photo below (photo credit: Gerald Carter). I wanted it to feel warm and approachable like my work, yet authoritative. Hopefully we landed it!
