The #1 Thing Authors Forget About Book Publishing

Publishing a book can take a long time. If you have what you need to get a traditional book deal — namely a substantial, engaged audience and proven content — you could have a book in your hands within two years.

But — and this is big — only about 10% of people reading this have that right now.

For the majority of the entrepreneurs and experts I work with, that timeline extends to include the process of building an engaged audience and proving out your content.

Building a substantial, engaged audience and creating content that creates results — otherwise known as an author platform — could take a year. Or three years. Or five years. Maybe a decade.

But here’s the thing — the 10% of entrepreneurs and experts who secure a book deal with my help have done this work, not knowing whether it would pay off or not.

Those 10% of people who are ready to work with me on a book proposal understand what the 90% who aren’t tend to forget.

And it’s honestly super simple. Your author platform can and should make you money.

Whether you have 1,000 followers — or 10 — you can make your book deal happen faster while

– doubling your client list

– booking more speaking gigs

– getting more referrals

– increasing your revenue

– having more people see your content

– and making you more money.

I know. Pretty exciting, right? If you already know you’re in — or interested — click here to get started.

Cheers to your success,
Meghan
