How do you navigate the tension between telling your truth and building a platform that sells books?In this episode of Book Bound, Bethany Saltman and Fran Hauser sit down with Daria Burke, bestselling author of Of My Own Making, award-winning business leader, and former CMO, for an unfiltered look at what it really takes to bring a memoir to life.Daria shares her story from quietly carrying the weight of her Detroit upbringing to feeling a “cosmic tap” that it was time to write. She talks about the long journey from the first idea to a finished proposal, how she found the right agent, and why she insisted on blending science with lived experience in her book. Daria also shares about the realities of pitching without a huge platform, the strategies behind her marketing plan, and the importance of showing up for her book—on tour, in the media, and online. Resources:Connect with Daria on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariaburke/Find Daria on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dariaburke/Discover Daria’s work: https://dariaburke.com/ Join Bethany & Fran for their Read Like a Writer Book Club: https://www.bookboundpodcast.com/club Download Bethany & Fran's e-book on how to craft a standout book proposal: https://www.bookboundpodcast.com/e-bookProduced by Share Your Genius: https://shareyourgenius.com/
