Summary

If you’ve ever had even the smallest inkling of an idea or desire for putting a figurative pen to paper and writing a book - this one’s for you. Today’s episode is dedicated to everything I’ve learned, mistakes I’ve made and what you ABSOLUTELY need to know about the process of writing and publishing. I will warn you- if you’re looking for someone to pump you up and encourage you to drop everything and become an author- this isn’t the show for you. But if you’re curious and truly want to know what it takes to create work that lasts, I’m here to help. Whether you’re tangled up in the webs of (writing) despair, finished with a manuscript but don’t know what to do next or just not sure where to start… relax, you’re in the right place. In today’s deep dive, I cover the following and much more: Essential questions to answer before you begin Tips for the writing/editing process Cover design (yes, people do judge a book by the cover) Publishing routes and how to write a winning book proposal Marketing without “selling out” Maybe writing isn’t your thing but you very much enjoy face to face interaction, connecting with people and finding ways to have deeper conversations about important subjects - if that’s you - you need to get over to artofcoaching.com/channels. We’ve created something that is social media free, highly interactive and deeply personal where coaches and leaders of every age, profession and experience level can connect- and it’s also where I’m dropping exclusive content weekly that you will not get on the podcast or on my social media.

0:11.1	by an emotion that they must express.
0:14.3	Conversely, when talented people write well, it's generally for one reason.
0:19.4	They're moved by a desire to touch the audience. the weight room, board room, classroom, and everywhere in between. I'm your host, Brett Bartholmue.
0:45.7	I'm a performance coach, keynote speaker, and the author of the book, Conscious Coaching.
0:50.2	But most importantly, I'm a lifelong student interested in all aspects of human behavior

1:02.5	Hey, everyone. It's nice to be able to talk to you directly again.
1:07.3	It has certainly been a while since I've done a solo episode.
1:10.3	If you haven't listened to a solo episode before, make sure you have a notebook ready
1:14.2	or download our podcast reflection sheet because we try to give a lot of bang for your
1:18.8	buck in these episodes.

1:35.7	in a digestible format. So you can remember it later on or share with your staff. So this
1:41.0	episode, what are we getting into? A lot of questions have come in about writing a book and self publishing versus traditional
1:48.4	publishing, which way to go, anything like that.
1:51.0	It only made sense to do a podcast because I literally have answered this over and over
1:54.6	on email and I always feel like I'm doing people at disservice because it's such a complex
1:59.0	topic.
