Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea episode 109 Steph's Publishing Storiessee all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesIn this episode I share my publishing stories. Each book I've written has a slightly different story -- but the fact is that it wasn't something that just "happened" --- I've had the idea that I was a writer who wanted to write books since childhood.When I was in my very early twenties I began querying literary agents and it took close to 5 years of "NOs" before I got my first YES. And then I got fired from that publisher.Listen in as I share the formula and path that I took to find my first literary agent, how I kept going even when it seemed like it wouldn't ever work and how even though I THINK I'm pretty smart, I still fell for a scam. I also share the exact numbers I've gotten for advances, because I know a few of you were wondering.Overview I love helping listeners embark upon their own journey to Slow Down, and live the life they’ve always dreamt about: one filled with peace, purpose, and abundance.I understand how you’re feeling when you are rushing around trying to do “all the things,” always playing catch up and finding time to get things done.I know because I’m a mom too.It’s okay to stop and breathe. My philosophy isn’t about cramming more and more into an already over-packed schedule, instead I offer realistic tips and plans to get things done quickly and efficiently so you can do things you want to do.Show Links Simple Shortcuts to Peace - https://stephanieodea.com/peaceNew You - https://stephanieodea.com/newyouMasterclass - https://stephanieodea.com/masterclass/Simple Shortcuts to Peace - https://stephanieodea.com/peace/Website - https://stephanieodea.comBlog - https://stephanieodea.com/blog/Podcast Page - https://stephanieodea.com/podcastSpeaking Opportunities - https://stephanieodea.com/speaking/Coaching Opportunities - https://stephanieodea.com/coaching/Courses - https://stephanieodea.com/courses/Contact - stephanieodea.com/contact/Stephanie's Story I know what it feels like to want to live a calm, peaceful, and harmonious life but you feel like you can’t because there is simply too much to do. I believe that if we are lucky, life is long. You are not behind, and you don’t need to rush around, trying to catch up. My philosophy isn’t about cramming more and more into an already over-packed schedule.Instead, I want to you to stop. Breathe. It’s all going to be okay.I want you to live out the life you’ve always dreamt about — the one that gets you excited to get up in the morning and puts a goofy grin on your face.Because the laundry, chores, soccer practice, meal planning, and litter box scooping? That’s not WHO you are; that’s not your identity. Those are the things you HAVE TO do.So let’s make a realistic plan to get them over & done with, quickly & efficiently so you can finally be the person you’ve always wanted to be, and do the things you actually WANT TO do.I am here to support you.Ship It Studios Website: https://www.shipitstudios.com Podcast Page - https://www.shipitstudios.com/slowlivingPodcast Network - https://www.shipitstudios.com/podcast-networkDescription: We are Cinephiles.
