Answers to 32 of Your Book Writing and Publishing Questions
In the past couple of weeks, I held two book writing and publishing seminars (Bring Your Book to Life® in 2020) to help participants get started on their books (or get reinvigorated on a book project that’s stalled).

Conversing with the Creative Muse
If you’ve worked with me or followed my blog for some time, you’ve probably heard me talk about the muse—an archetype for our creative source. You may have also experienced the guided visualization I sometimes take writers through to receive clarity about their writing and creativity, experience a creative breakthrough or determine their next step.

Author Cara Bradley on Speaking, Podcasting & the Doors that Open for a Published Author
Browsing recent posts on LinkedIn, I came upon Cara Bradley’s podcast. It’s always exciting for me to see what happens after a client’s book gets published. It’s especially so when the author dives into book promotion and related activities with the kind of gusto Cara Bradley brings to it.
