Beyond Better with Stacy Ennis4 Tammi 2023

73. Ask Stacy: Your writing and publishing questions, answered! (Part 2)

Answers to your burning questions on all things writing, publishing, platform, and more—part 2!

I often say that entering the world of publishing is like learning a new language.

I should know. I’ve tried to learn Spanish, Vietnamese, Thai, and Portuguese. And I’ve only been successful at near-fluency in one so far! (Portuguese is also coming along. Slowly.)

First, you embark on a project to achieve one of the hardest goals out there: write a book. Not only do you need to learn the skill of writing a book, but you need to show up with discipline and consistency to actually get it done. Then, you have to navigate self-editing, professional editing, and the publishing process (which has its own language!). Meanwhile, you need to build an author platform and put together a launch plan so your book doesn’t do a not-so-graceful flop on release day.

It’s a lot. But I’ve got you.

P.S. At the beginning of the episode, I say "2023 was the shortest but longest year ever.” I meant 2022. Case and point!
