206. The business of being an author (replay)

206. The business of being an author (replay)

As part of my summer podcast replay series, I’m sharing a replay of a powerful podcast episode with Alexa Bigwarf.

Writing a book and being successful as an author is hard work. This week on the podcast, I unpack the hardness and amazingness of the author journey, from writing to marketing and beyond, with Alexa Bigwarfe, a USA Today best-selling author, publisher, and founder and CEO of Write, Publish, Sell. In this episode, we discuss:

  • Alexa’s moving, personal journey into publishing
  • What authors should know about the big-picture process of writing, editing, publishing, launching, and marketing a book
  • The difference between integrating your book into your business growth strategy and making a living as an author
  • Advanced author marketing strategies

Alexa owns three hybrid publishing houses: Kat Biggie Press; Chrysalis Press; and Purple Butterfly Press, a children's book publishing company. Her courses and training focus on author professional development, platform growth, and fun, creative ways to market books.

No matter your stage of authorhood—idea to ongoing marketing—I know you’ll find value in this episode. Enjoy!
