Imagine being able to sit down with someone who has a lifetime of experience and knowledge in the world of publishing and have him give you the best tips and advice to help you navigate the daunting task of getting your book published. Bill Gladstone literally grew up in the publishing business, taking part in all aspects of the publishing process, and has built a hugely successful publishing company focusing on transformational authors. Listen to today’s episode where Bill walks you through the best ways to find the right publishing relationship and find personal and professional success.
In this episode, Christine and Bill discuss:
- How most books don’t actually make money but are a means to enhance your business, your life, and the life of those who read it.
- The importance of the proposal to traditional publishing companies, especially the author’s platform and marketing, and how difficult that can be for a first-time author.
- The advantages of finding a quality hybrid publisher who can bring a level of professionalism and guidance to the process and help you get published faster.
- Being intentional about creating a routine and devoting time at least three days a week to just write, and trusting that inspiration will come.
