Do you ever feel like your words have to be perfect before they see the light of day? You’re not alone. Many first-time authors get stuck in this cycle, endlessly tweaking sentences. But the truth is, your first draft isn’t meant to be flawless. It’s meant to be a foundation.

Writing a book is a process—one that will challenge and refine not only your ideas but your voice, too. Embracing imperfection is key, because it allows you to move forward, to learn, and to create something that can be polished into a masterpiece later.

I can introduce you to several Biz Book Publishing Hub Partners who can help you get through the writing process. Check out this free resource at www.BizBookPublishingHub.com. 

Now, let’s dive into today’s panel. Our authors will share the ups and downs of their author journeys.

Gloria Treister wrote “Wellness 101: Simple Steps to Good Health,” a practical guide that empowers readers to simplify wellness, take control of their health, and create a personalized plan for a vibrant, healthier life.

Marva Bailer wrote “Be Unexpected: Resetting Routines to Revolutionize the Future of Work,” which reimagines outdated business norms with creative strategies and relatable soft skills to foster meaningful connections and energize modern workplaces.

Please join me in welcoming Emily, Gloria, and Marva. 

In this episode, we discuss the following:

Journey to Imperfection: Understand why the first draft of your business book is not about perfection but a strong foundation to refine your ideas and voice.
