Behind-The-Scenes to a 3-Year Book Journey (Top 5 Lessons)
Hi love,
Today to round out our book celebration week on the HEROINE podcast, I’m sharing a behind the scenes look into the THREE year process of writing Break the Good Girl Myth including the most important thing that sells books and lands a publishing deal (the answer is not having a big platform).
This is a juicy episode, where I go over:
How I refined my idea early on
The difference between your “why” and your “how”
How I sought to understand the book publishing landscape early on
The importance of a book proposal
The importance of surrounding yourself by people who are standing where you want to go
How I got in touch with literary agents and landed on the one I wanted
The way publishing works
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT SELLS BOOKS (the answer is not having a big platform)
The heroine’s journey of the book writing process including the dark cocoon phase
How I landed the book deal
How I dealt with self-doubts
The top 5 lessons and things about from the whole journey
If you want to write a book, or birth any creative project into the world, this episode shares the resilience, commitment, and perseverance you need to stay the course. And heroine, it’s worth it to stay the course.
It’s not a long episode (17 minutes), you can listen wherever you listen on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you like to listen. Also available below for quick access.

P.S. The first week of a book’s publication really determines whether it gets picked up by the media and included on reading/bestseller lists, etc. Every single order counts. If I’ve supported you in any way ever through this newsletter or the podcast, it would truly mean so much and be incredibly helpful if you bought the book right now (vs. later). Order the book. Deep thanks to you!
