Writing a book is on many people’s bucket lists, but the complicated process of getting published usually deters people from ever achieving that dream. For people seeking a more streamlined alternative, self-publishing offers a promising way to get your words out there. In this episode, self-published author Julie Broad talks about what it’s like publishing a book without the help of an agent. As the founder of self-publishing consultants  Book Launchers, Julie leans on the experiences of her clients and details exactly what it takes to find success without an agent. Julie also gives six reasons why book writing is a lucrative idea, and discusses how the self-publishing route can be an even better idea than going with legacy publishers.
