102: Letting Go of The Final Draft (Book Update #3)

102: Letting Go of The Final Draft (Book Update #3)

Have you ever struggled with pushing 'send' on a piece for publication? In this episode I'm giving you an update on my book process, including timeline, cover reveals, and how hard it is to let go of that final draft.

It's time for installment three on my book writing process!

In episode 60 I shared part 1, a dive into the publishing world, deciding on academic vs. traditional publishing houses, figuring out what I wanted to say, and the fear that I wouldn't have enough words to put on the page (spoiler: I did).

In episode 79 I shared part 2, all about figuring out my own writing process, getting mindset and development help from book coach Jane Jones, and how I got the writing done.

In this episode, I want to continue to be open about what scares me, give you an overview of all the professionals I've worked with to help bring this book to life, and share an update on the book timeline. I've learned so much along the way, and I hope you have picked up some tips and tidbits from these book update episodes.
