Publishing Secrets

Julie Broad: Know Your Reader

Episode Summary

Are you getting beaten down by naysayers around you? It’s tough when the people you expect to support you don’t – and this week’s Publishing Secrets guest, Julie Broad, can relate. Julie was told “no” by a major publisher even after she thought a book deal was in the works, and she’s also faced disheartening opposition from someone very close to her. But she didn’t let any of that stop her. Instead, Julie pushed forward and self-published her book – and now she publishes other people’s books. Today, she’s here to share her expertise on publishing and marketing your book successfully, whichever publishing path you choose to take.
