Did you know that 80% of people say they have a book in them?

So, where's yours?

In this episode, you're going to learn exactly how to take those beautiful ideas in your

head and turn them into a real finished book.

Let's go.

Linda Sievertson is an award-winning author, a New York Times best-selling co-author,

former ghostwriter, and a magazine editor

who midwives books. She's been featured on Forbes.com, Teen Vogue, CNN, Glamour, and much more.

Linda's the host of the beautiful writers podcast and her latest book with the same name,

A Journey of Big Dreams and Messy Manuscripts with Tricks of the trade from bestselling authors.

books. This idea that it's already been done before. Like, oh my gosh, I have an idea for

a book about divorce or food or business or spiritual, whatever the topic might be, yet people

have this voice saying, like, oh, my God, it's all the done before. What would you say

to that person? Yeah, that one makes me crazy because think about it. Every year, like, say,

say you're a relationship coach and you want to write a relationship book.
