Summary:

This podcast conversation featured Kathy Wheeler, an author of six books and creator of the 90 Day Book program. The conversation discussed the process for writing a book, including the importance of outlining, Amazon research, self-editing and having a professional editor read it. It also discussed the differences between self-publishing and traditional publishing, as well as how authors can use their books to leverage their businesses.

Additionally, it was noted that authors are responsible for their own marketing regardless of which route they choose and that book tours are becoming less popular.

Finally, it was suggested to set a time limit when trying to traditionally publish and to be aware that self-publishing is constantly changing every couple months. In this episode, Kathy discussed how to write and publish a book for coaches and entrepreneurs. She highlighted two common mistakes: not hiring an editor and not doing enough upfront work.

Her number one tip was to simply commit the time and do it, even if it's only 15 minutes a day. She also suggested using voice recording software such as Temmie, which will require more editing but can help capture ideas quickly. To help people get started on their book-writing journey, she has a course available on her website the 90daybook.com and a free blueprint available on her website as well.
