Episode Synopsis

Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions!🎙️ Feeling Overwhelmed Writing Your Nonfiction or Memoir? This Episode is For You!Do you feel like you have multiple books' worth of material? Are you wrestling with imposter syndrome or struggling to organize a mountain of thoughts? My work with authors typically focuses on two key genres: transformative nonfiction and inspirational memoir (yes, I made up these terms). Transformative Nonfiction aims to guide the reader through a specific journey. It's infused with personal stories that help the reader relate and feel connected to the author. Inspirational Memoir, on the other hand, shares the author’s personal experiences to inspire and resonate with readers, but in a way where the author is unattached to how (or when) the reader is inspired (or whether they're inspired at all!).🚀 Feeling stuck? Start by identifying your core message and the first step in your journey.Remember, it’s about sharing the steps of your story, not prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution. By focusing on your unique path and experiences, you can create a relatable and impactful narrative without the pressure of being seen as "the ultimate expert."💡 Tune in to hear my tips on overcoming self-doubt, structuring your content, and finding peace in sharing your personal story. This episode is packed with insights to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity!READY TO FINALLY BE IN THAT "CAN'T STOP WRITING" FLOW?Grab the free nonfiction or memoir kickstart that's helped hundreds of authors get out of their heads and into the flow: 👉 PublishAProfitableBook.com/chapterone WANT TO SELL MORE BOOKS (WITHOUT THE SELF-PROMO CRINGE)?The Author Visibility Bundle gives you 200+ done-for-you email templates, social media graphics, and other book promo tools designed to help authors build buzz and drive sales, without feeling pushy. 👉  PublishAProfitableBook.com/bookvisibility CURIOUS ABOUT AMAZON ADS AS AN INDIE AUTHOR?Snag the small but mighty tweaks that help your book actually sell before you ever spend a dime on Amazon ads.👉  PublishAProfitableBook.com/trialSupport the show****** Write the Damn Book Already is a weekly podcast featuring interviews with authors as well as updates and insights on writing craft and the publishing industry.
