Welcome to a special episode of the Make Meaning Podcast! 

 

As a full-time author, writing coach, and host of this podcast, Lynne Golodner never thought starting another business would be part of her plan. However, her passion for storytelling and a gap in the marketplace led Lynne to create Scotia Road Books, a new publishing imprint dedicated to providing a platform for women over 40 with strong voices that need to be heard. With a focus on contemporary, historical, and literary fiction, as well as narrative memoirs and essay collections, Scotia Road Books seeks to make a meaningful impact in the publishing world.

 

Joining Lynne on the latest episode of the Make Meaning Podcast are two repeat guests: Elizabeth Gowing, author and co-founder of Elbow Publishing, and Merle Saferstein, a journaling expert and author. They share their unique publishing journeys and insights on today’s publishing options.

 

In this episode, Lynne, Elizabeth, and Merle discuss: 

• How and why your publishing journey can change from book to book

• The benefit of print-on-demand

• The power of journaling

• The different publishing options available to writers

• The costs of book publishing & why you might make more money with non-traditional paths

• Hybrid publishing

• The process to be published by Scotia Road Books
