On this episode, I chat with my works-in-publishing friend and author Elizabeth on how to write a book and then how to get it published. She breaks down all of the detailed steps and expectations you need to write the book that’s in your head or that’s already written and needs you to "pedal to the metal" the publishing process. A little bonus to this episode is that we geek out toward the end of the episode as we chat about following your dreams—so make sure to stick around for that.

Elizabeth also left you with a brilliant plethora of resources in the form of book recommendations, so make sure not to overlook those. I linked them from Amazon, but she would want me to prompt you to purchase them at your local independent bookstore if you can.

I hope you enjoy the episode! And please know that if you have this little idea or dream in your head of writing and publishing a book, I am a totally cheering you on!
