The Authority that Comes with Being A Published Author
Michelle Vandepas Notable Quotes
“If you self-publish and you don’t have the funds, you should still spend some money on some really good layout and design, a book cover, and good editing—those are the three places you really ought to put some cash to make sure that even if you self-publish, when your book’s out there, it represents you in such a way that it looks high-quality and you’re proud of it.”
– Michelle Vandepas
“The number one way to market is to figure out where your audience hangs out and market there.”
– Michelle Vandepas
Episode Summary
There’s a sort of magic and some bit of authority that comes with being able to say, “I wrote a book.” As health coaches, many of us have a lot to say and have meaningful messages to share with our audience, and one way we could do that is by publishing a book. But what exactly goes behind writing and then publishing your own book?
In this episode of Health Coach Academy, we’re talking to author, publishing house co-owner, and book coach Michelle Vandepas to give us a little run-through on why we should consider writing our own books and the process that goes behind publishing our books.
