Slay The Gatekeeper Un-Gatekeeping Self-Publishing with Ellen Polk
Everyone you know wants to write a book… But how do you actually do that?
In this episode, I’m joined by Ellen Polk to actually break down the pieces of self-publishing (and a little trad publishing too.)
We’re covering why you probably have enough content for a draft already, how you can still have a team in self-publishing, why traditional publishing isn’t necessarily a smaller investment, and at the end of the day, how you actually get your ROI from a book you’ve written. Let’s get started!
