In this episode of The Luxe Leap, Reland Logan sits down with publishing strategist Allyson E. Machate, founder of Writers’ Ally and former editor at Simon & Schuster, to break down what it really takes to write, publish, and market a book that builds authority.

If you're an entrepreneur, coach, consultant, or thought leader thinking about self-publishing, this conversation covers:

• Traditional publishing vs. self-publishing
• Book cover strategy and positioning
• Editing, production, and distribution essentials
• Metadata, pricing, and Amazon visibility
• How to align your book with your business goals
• Avoiding burnout while building visibility

With 20+ years in the publishing industry, Allyson shares practical insights most first-time authors never hear until it’s too late.

If you want your book to do more than sit on a shelf, this episode is for you.
