Welcome to the Self Publishing School podcast. This is the podcast to listen to if you're an

aspiring writer or an author who wants to be more successful. On this show, you'll learn how to

write and launch a book successfully, all from the top authors and people just like you

who are doing it at the highest level. I'm your host, Chandler Bolt,

the founder of self-publishing school, the author of the book called Published and the CEO of

Selfpublishing.com. For free training on how to publish a book that sells 10,000 copies,

go to selfpublishing.com forward slash free training.

Hey, Chandler Bolt here and joining me today is Leanne Saffer.

Leanne actually worked with us at Self Publishing School.

She's a student self-publishing school, also the author of her book. It's a memoir called Please Don't Send Me Flowers. She's a writer, fitness instructor, hairstylist, life coach, and advocate

for helping people live a loud and authentic life. All right. So today we're going to be talking

about a topic that we don't talk a lot about on the podcast. I'm really

excited to have Leanne here, which is writing, how do you write a quality memoir that actually

sells, right? So two-part, like how do you write a great memoir, but then also how do you sell

copies of that memoir if you're not famous, which is very hard to do.

Leanne, great to have you here.

Thank you.
