Writing a book can feel like a big undertaking, not to mention there’s the editing process, pitching and the big question we all have: How the heck do I write my book proposal?

Well in today’s episode of The Being Human Podcast, I’m sitting down with the person I wrote my book proposal with and an ah-MAZING coach and consultant, Richelle Fredson.

Richelle is the founder of Purposeful Platforms, a coaching and consulting company that anchors and amplifies authors through competitive book proposals, platform building and strategic book launches. Her clients include NYT Bestselling authors and first-time authors who have garnered book deals from top publishers including Random House, Simon and Schuster, Little Brown, Tarcher Perigee and more. 

She helps you get clear on your core book concepts and guides you to create the impact you desire. I had so much fun talking with Richelle in this episode about how it’s actually smart to write a book because it can help you uplevel and invite new people into your business. Plus, she filled me in on how to approach the common resistance blocks she sees - which also might be what’s stopping you.

Let’s dive in.
