In this episode of Your Path to Book Publishing, we continue the author habits series with guests Jones Loflin and Todd Musig, co-authors of Juggling Elephants and Getting to It.

Jones and Todd share what they’ve learned from both traditional publishing and self-publishing, including how they used a self-published version of their book to prove demand before landing a traditional publishing deal.

They also discuss the habits that help authors succeed beyond the writing process: getting useful feedback, building a platform, choosing the right publishing path for your season, and being generous with your book so it can create new opportunities.

Whether you’re still developing your book idea or thinking about how to market your book after launch, this episode will help you think more intentionally about the habits that support long-term author success.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why co-authoring requires trust, clarity, and complementary strengths
• How feedback can strengthen your book before publication
• Why your publishing path may change as your platform grows
• How generosity with your book can lead to speaking, training, and business opportunities
• Why your book should be treated as a tool, not the entire strategy
