In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the Coach & Author of
The Soul-Aligned Ghostwriter,
Danielle Perlin-Good.
Danielle shed light on the different options available for producing a book. She explained that someone with abundant time and energy can learn to write a book by taking craft classes or going on writing retreats. However, hiring a ghostwriter is a viable option for those who are time-poor but have the financial resources. This saves time and energy and ensures a professional touch to the writing.
Danielle also introduced two in-between options. The first is a day-intensive experience where the writer and ghostwriter meet for hours to flesh out the book's framework and create an outline.
The second option is coaching, where the writer is responsible for the writing, but the ghostwriter coaches them to achieve their goals. She also mentioned her new writing accountability group, where writers meet weekly for 12 weeks to receive accountability and support in achieving their writing goals.
Danielle also explained the steps involved in book publishing after a manuscript is completed. These steps include cover design, formatting, proofreading, and marketing. She emphasized the importance of having clear goals for the book, such as leaving a family legacy, increasing speaking engagements, or establishing credibility and authority for a coaching practice or business.
