B2A #30: Finding Your Purpose by Re-Purposing with Marsha Apsley Sep 18, 2017

Show notes

Sometimes you have a message to share with the world, but you're not sure how to get it in front of a wider audience. Marsha Apsley had always had a passion for helping others, and she had pursued that passion as she grew her blog and her private Facebook group. Like many of you, she had always dreamed of becoming an author, but had told herself that she'd work on that dream "someday" because she thought the process would be too difficult. Then, she ran a 40-day challenge that her group members absolutely loved. Their positive feedback gave her the idea to turn the content from that challenge into a book that her fans are so excited to buy. I think you'll be really inspired by Marsha's story!

B2A #26: The Importance of Book Design with Clare Marshall Aug 31, 2017

Show notes

The process of publishing a book can seem pretty mysterious to aspiring authors. What exactly goes on behind those closed doors? Publishing seems complicated and overwhelming, so much so that most people don’t follow through on their dreams of becoming an author. That’s why I’m so excited to have Clare Marshall on the podcast. Clare actually has her own publishing imprint, and she’s a book design and publishing expert. In our interview, we chat about many things, including publishing, book design and formatting, and selling your books in person at events. These are topics that I think will be of interest to every author, especially if you’re considering self publishing. Be prepared to learn a lot!
