RED 250: Book Launch - The Manuscript Is Done

I'm about 60 days away (for real this time) from releasing my new book on how to market yourself via podcasting. This is a book I started writing almost four years ago and it's been a challenge to get it out. In this episode as well as the last couple of episodes, I talk about the process of making that happen. Taking my own advice, and the advice of songwriters in Nashville, I took the last month to give the manuscript for my upcoming book a complete rewrite. The first draft of this book was about 120,000 words. This one is just shy of 90,000 words. It's tighter, it flows better, and it's closer to being released, but there is still a lot of work to do.
