Most authors don’t realize that publishing isn’t just about writing a book. Before long, it often becomes a full-on entrepreneurial rollercoaster.
In this episode, I talk with Allie Hill, author of the Girlfriend's Guide to Empty Nesting, about what really happens after you hit "publish." She reveals what surprised her, what flopped, and what secretly skyrocketed her confidence.
This episode is perfect for first-time authors, seasoned writers, or anyone curious about the gritty truth behind that glossy book cover.
(And just wait until you hear her book recommendation from the "What I'm Reading Now" segment!)
