You’ve decided to write your book, but then there’s that feeling in your stomach. You know it, Yes, that one. The kind that makes the bathroom seem like a sanctuary. 

Today we're talking about the anxiety you might have before starting your book and what to do with that. You can put that anxiety to use. 

Speaking of anxiety, there's some big news in this episode. Eeee!

What’s your story? Or, more precisely, what is one of your stories? 

Is it of overcoming trauma, of how faith changed you, or something a bit odd?

If you’ve ever wondered if your story might in fact be universal, that in some way it could help someone else, this is the episode for you.

I’m so honoured today to invite you this conversation with Marion Roach Smith, author of four books, including The Memoir Project, A Thoroughly Non-Standardized Text for Writing & Life. A former staffer at The New York Times, she has been a commentator on NPR’s All Things Considered and a talk show host on Sirius Satellite Radio. She currently runs a writing lab called The Memoir Project and teaches memoir worldwide at marionroach.com.

Alex has three young kids, is a full time Mum, and she wants to write a book. As we stood in the park, I was so excited to listen to her talk about this dream. But then Alex paused, looked at me and said the words I hear WAY TOO OFTEN. 

“I don’t have time.” 

Does this sound familiar? 

You absolutely CAN write your book as a busy Mum. And today we’re going to get into the truth of it all.

One of the beautiful things about being a writer is the dream to get your book into the hands of your readers. If you want to make an impact and an income, self-publishing your book is easier than you think. It’s so much harder to write your book than it is to publish it. 

We’re covering the five ways having a self-published book can make you impact and income.

P.S. I  know how scattered and overwhelming it can be when you're trying to self-publish. That's why I created The Unlocked Author course where you'll self-publish your book from start to finish, following a simple, step by step process. Sign up using the code AUTHOR at https://theunlockedcreative.com/the-unlocked-author to get your early bird discount, but it expires Monday 24 January 2022, so get in quick!
