Books can spark a movement.

And while I am in the midst of writing my first book (coming out in September!), I immediately knew we had to do a podcast episode about this entire process. Allison Trowbridge is the founder and CEO of Copper Books, who are revolutionizing the hybrid publishing model while focusing on mission-driven authors.

Get ready to be guided through the complexities of the publishing industry, from the financial risks traditional publishers take, to the entrepreneurial spirit required for successful self-publishing.

Plus, Allison explains her pivot to hybrid publishing for balancing professional support and author control, making it ideal for niche books with meaningful audiences (I’ll reveal why I chose this path over other options).

If you’re one of the 81% of people in the world who want to write a book and share your story, this episode offers a comprehensive overview of the financial aspects, marketing strategies, and the evolving landscape of book publishing.
