EP 81: Debunking the Myths that Block Your Joy of Becoming a Published Author

When you can say "I have a book," it instantly elevates your expertise in someone's eyes. So the question is, why doesn't everyone have a book published? 

When I ask women in my community that question, I get a lot of responses: "I don't know where to start," "It seems too time-consuming and expensive," and, most heartbreakingly, "Who would buy it? I'm just me; I'm nobody special." 

These doubts and fears are all too common. To debunk these myths and offer guidance, I invited Debbie Keven, founder of Highlander Press, to join us for a conversation about the process and benefits of becoming a published author.

Overcoming Common Fears: Discussing the prevalent fears women have about publishing a book, including fear of not being good enough and fear of the process itself.

The Benefits of Publishing: How having a book can establish authority, attract clients, and serve as a powerful marketing tool.

The Anthology Approach: Introducing the concept of anthology books as a collaborative and less time-intensive way to become a published author.

Special Announcement: Unveiling the upcoming She Boss Cafe anthology project, "Becoming Unstoppable: How Ordinary Women Achieve Extraordinary Success," with details on how community members can participate.
