how to publish

Hello Everyone!

we are up to part three of our four part mini series within the Writers Advice Podcast about writing the story that you were born to write, no matter what genre or modality that you write in.

Today's episode is all about publishing the book that you were born to write and today I share my top five tips of how to get clear and started on your publishing journey no matter how you want your book out in the world.

If you are new to this podcast or if you have been listening in for a while and you have been sitting on an idea but not taking any action on it, then now is your time to create!

I'd love to hear all your take aways from this episode and learn more about the story that you are getting started on. Connect with me below!
