Your book in the hands of an Influencer…
I wanted to share with you how one or our authors ended up having her book shared to a mailing list of more than 60K people, then to a Facebook page with a following of more than 230K, and then to an Instagram account with a following of more than 61K people.
Your book in the media…
Congratulations to Disruptive Author, Paula Burgess, who was featured in The Redcliffe Guide this week. What a great article.
Paula is a wonderful advocate for people living with ADHD and it is wonderful to see her, and her book, Beyond the ADHD Label, in the spotlight and still relevant after more than 4 years of being in print.
Getting Known, Being Seen.
I was fortunate to be able to see Mark Bouris present recently and during his presentation he quoted Richard Branson stating that in building your business and your brand you need to seek opportunities to gain “notoriety with affection”.
Are you a writer? How can you tell?
I believe that we are all creative and that some of us are aware of that and others aren’t. Why we would or wouldn’t acknowledge our creativity depends on so many factors. We do know however if we have a longing to write a book. It is the first thing we think about when we wake up in the morning and the last thing we think of before we go to bed at night. If you are called to write a book it is because your creativity is calling you to write in order to make sense of the world around you. It is, after all, human nature to seek meaning in our lives. So what needs to change in your mind, in your beliefs or in your life so that you can answer the call to write? Walk with me as I talk you through the process…
Go Forth and Publish
It was four years ago this week that I published Domestic Detox with my partner in crime at the time Lorna Emblen.
Happy Birthday Domestic Detox
What a ride that was, and we had so much fun collaborating with all the contributing authors and taking them along for the ride.
Now I would love to say that it snuck up on us but I had wanted to be a published author since my early teens so it was actually a long journey of discovery for me which probably made it an even sweeter experience.
The reason I bring this up now is not just to say happy birthday Domestic Detox, but because it is an incredibly appropriate time to officially announce that earlier this year I made the decision to transition from counselling into full time publishing.
MJL Publications now has my full attention.
