It’s raw, vulnerable, and filled with the kind of strength you don’t forget. Watch her interview here: https://lnkd.in/eVDWbYpd Congratulations, Elissa!

Let’s be honest. Most nonfiction authors are lied to. They’re told: “Just write a great book.” “Build a big audience.” “Thought leadership is for the famous.” And then they wonder why their book isn’t moving the needle. The truth?

So we made something to help fix that. Swipe through to see 3 lies the industry keeps repeating and gut-check your strategy. What’s one thing you wish someone had told you before you started writing? 👀
