Episode 78 | Addiction, Mindfulness, and Publishing a Book with Dr. Rebecca Williams

In today's episode of Psych Talk, I talk with Dr. Rebecca Williams a psychologist, award winning writer, and wellness expert. Dr. Williams shares her journey as a psychologist, working in the addiction and mindfulness field, being a professor and supervisor, and her transition into writing full time. Dr. Williams shares her knowledge and expertise in the addiction and mindfulness field and how that led her to write two books The Mindfulness Workbook for Addiction and The Gift of Recovery. Dr. Williams shares the process of coming up with an idea, pitching, and publishing her books, as well as her decision to write with a co-author and how to find a co-author that is a good fit for you. Dr. Williams also discusses how to promote and make revenue from and book and provides listeners with tips if they are considering writing a book themselves. I absolutely loved having this discussion with Dr. Williams because many of my guests so far have been published authors, yet I have never had a discussion on this podcast regarding the journey to getting a book published.
