"Walking through the aisles of a bookstore or library will never be the same for me. Now that I've completed the process of publishing a book from defining an idea to writing multiple drafts, editing, designing, and publishing, I have a new appreciation for anyone who chooses to write a book. Bringing a book to life is not for the faint of heart, it requires resilience, energy, and a willingness to accept feedback on your work."
"Sitting down to write my first book, I knew I had unique insights to share and wanted to do so in a way that was different from other business books. Many are strictly professional. Like with social media, people expect books to contain vulnerability and authenticity in ways they didn't a generation ago. Effective business books today need to incorporate those concepts to resonate and make an impact."
"For years, people encouraged me to write a book. I'm passionate about storytelling and have seen how social media activity by leaders can impact business results, so I knew this was at the heart of the book. The deeper I delved into the concepts and research, the more I needed feedback from people not as closely involved in the project."
Publishing a book requires resilience, energy, and a willingness to accept feedback. Effective business books now blend vulnerability and authenticity with professional insights. Combining storytelling, the latest research, case studies, and practical tactics increases resonance and impact. Asking whether a solution meets real needs and seeking feedback from trusted, diverse perspectives improves the final product. Engaging people with specific expertise through conversations and iterations refines ideas, even when not all advice is adopted. The process includes defining an idea, multiple drafts, editing, design, and publication, and yields renewed appreciation for the effort involved in bringing a book to life.
