Have you ever wondered how the book writing and publishing process works? The majority of people I speak to want to write a book, but have no idea where to start or how to get a copy in their hands. I'm releasing this topic as a two part episode so you can fully understand the steps it takes to write and publish a powerful book. In today's episode, expect to uncover

Here's a breakdown of what's covered in Part 1:

1. Find Your Why: The journey to writing a book starts with discovering your path.
2. Choose Your Publishing Option: Decide between self-publishing, hybrid publishing, or traditional publishing.
3. Validate Your Genre and Idea: Ensure there's a market for your book.
4. Define Your Book Structure: Lay the foundation for your book's organisation.
5. Mind Map and Outline: Organise your ideas and create a roadmap for your book.
6. Draft Introduction and Conclusion: Craft the beginning and end to provide clarity for your manuscript.
7. Write Your Manuscript: Commit to consistent writing sessions to make steady progress.
8. Find a Professional Editor: Professionally polish your manuscript
9. Hire a Professional Book Cover Designer: Create an awesome cover to attract readers.
10. Create Lead Magnet and Resources: Use your business products, services and resources to encourage the reader to take action.

Looking ahead, we'll explore the remaining steps in the publishing and launching phases in the next episode. Remember, writing a book has three distinct phases: writing, publishing, and launching. Stay tuned for Part Two, where we'll dive deeper into the publishing and launching processes.
