So You Want to Write a Book

from The Rebel Tribe Hosted by Melodieann Whiteley

A lot of people want to write a book. Very few ever finish one. In this episode, I’m talking with Mark Howard, founder of Launchpad Publishing. Mark works with people who have a book idea but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to turn that idea into an actual published book. He’s not a traditional or hybrid publisher. What he does is help authors get out of their own way, finish their book, and then walk through the self-publishing process using Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. We talk about why so many people stall out before the finish line, what self-publishing really involves, and how to move from “I’ve been thinking about writing a book” to actually putting it out into the world. If writing a book has been on your mind for a long time, this is an honest, practical conversation worth listening to. Connect with Mark
