Welcome back to The Rebel Maker! In this episode, I’ve got my friend Danielle Anderson with me, and we are talking about biographies and memoirs.

Danielle is a memoir coach and editor who runs her business and life with heart. She is the founder of Ink Worthy Books, an editorial and publishing services company that believes everyone has a story worth telling and every story has the power to change the world.
 
Join us as we talk about all things publishing-related that the average person who might want to write a book probably doesn’t know.

In this episode:

  • [04:02] What Danielle means when she says, “Anyone can be a bestseller”
  • [07:21] Creating a legacy rather than a profit when writing a memoir
  • [09:54] Identifying a publisher that will have the writer's best interests at heart
  • [12:19] It takes time and money to write and publish a good-quality book
  • [15:15] When in the writing process should a writer approach an editor?
  • [18:45] The difference between a memoir and a biography
  • [20:40] The different types of editors and why you need all of them
  • [32:46] Writing Tip: How Danielle defines publishing and her best writing tip
  • [34:38] Book Recommendation: The most life-changing book Danielle has ever read

Noteworthy quote from this episode:
“We focus on quality over quantity [...] Cheap is not a word I use. That, to me, diminishes the value of the story that people want to tell and the value of the book that they want to deliver. [...] a good publisher is going to help your book be successful, no matter your goals.”
