In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Melanie Herschorn discuss:

Book writing for lawyers
Challenges in book publishing
Books as marketing tools
Role of technology and AI in publishing

Key Takeaways:

Lawyers can streamline book creation by repurposing existing content instead of writing new material daily.
Carefully vet publishers to avoid rights loss or financial exploitation by selecting those with transparency and industry expertise.
Successful book marketing involves pre-launch planning, continual promotion, and leveraging various channels like media and podcasts.
AI can assist with editing and formatting but should not be heavily relied upon for writing due to potential quality and copyright issues.

"You just want to remember that it isn't about book sales. It's really about leveraging the book for client retention, client acquisition, and visibility opportunities." — Melanie Herschorn
