🎙️ What comes after you publish the book?

On this episode of Author Talk, we sit down with publishing strategist, author advocate, and Women in Publishing Summit founder Alexa Bigwarfe to talk about what it really takes to build visibility, grow your platform, and create opportunities that go far beyond simply publishing a book.
