I had a great time talking with Tony Bradshaw on the Get Business Smart Podcast about the publishing world and authoring books.

Check out the episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep20-unlocking-the-secrets-of-self-publishing-your/id1854612703?i=1000774740289

Self-publishing today is not only possible without a publisher, but it can also give you control over your rights, earnings, and the future of your work. If you’re toying with the idea of writing a book, know that the journey starts long before hitting “publish.” Build the right mindset, understand your options, and don’t fall for the hype.

Maybe that’s the point — knowing the facts is the best success strategy. Worth thinking about.

Here's a "before and after" example of a recent book cover design. We love it when authors are pleased with our work! Thank you, ladies!

We submitted the "Before" cover to our book designers. It was a rough draft created by Rebecca, yet it contained the elemental ideas we wanted. When the cover designer asked what we wanted in a book cover, we replied, "elegantly simple."

We think the designers nailed it!
