What is Your Book About?

Can you tell me in one compelling sentence what your book is about?

Author and media strategist Paula Rizzo says it's even hard for her to do, but that's why she develops and practices her pitch long before she ever starts promoting it and she gives some great tips for other writers to use when promoting their work.

The nonfiction author of Listful Living: A List-Making Journey to a Less-Stressed You comes from the world of television writing and producing, and now she coaches authors and entrepreneurs on how to effectively communicate their messages during interviews, even while she's working on a novel herself.

Paula also talks about how her writing process, how an accountability buddy 3,000 miles away helped her stay on track, and the challenges of moving between nonfiction and a novel.

And check out her book Listful Living, https://listproducer.com/listful-living-book/

Polly has been working through the book and has found it helpful when it comes to motivation and thinking about the why behind our work so we can set up an effective writing process and protect the time to write.
