The Profitable Writer

I'm excited to bring you our very first live book coaching call! The purpose of these calls is to share a real-life book coaching session to help an author or entrepreneur develop a book idea that can grow their influence and impact. My guest is Dan Cumberland, founder of The Meaning Movement, which is a blog, podcast, and community of people pursuing deeper meaning in what they do. Dan has been helping people find their place and their work in the world since 2005, starting with high school students and then initiating and organizing groups and guest lectures in graduate school. He started working professionally with clients one-on-one in 2011. Since then, he has facilitated classes, taught, and spoken often on the topic at various events, schools, and forums. His work has also been featured in Fast Company, Entrepreneur Magazine, ​the Chicago Tribune, US News and World Report, CBS, and many other places. On this call, we work through Dan's initial idea for his book, how it ties into the big picture of his business, and some potential outlines for his book. * * * Today’s episode is sponsored by the Book Marketing Mastery course.

If you have enjoyed books by authors such as Scott Turrow and John Grisham, you'll love today's interview. My guest is Alexandra Shapiro. She is a former federal prosecutor with nearly 30 years of experience, and co-founder of Shapiro Arato Bach LLP, a prominent New York litigation boutique. She has argued in the Supreme Court, won numerous appeals resulting in the exoneration of previously convicted criminal defendants, served as President of the New York Council of Defense Lawyers, and handled many high-profile cases.  Fun fact: Alexandra was one of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's first clerks on the Supreme Court. Alexandra is the author of the new legal thriller Presumed Guilty, which is based on her real-life experiences on both sides of criminal cases. The novel depicts how prosecutors, because of their motivations and mistakes, can at times destroy lives and promote unjust results. Alexandra walks us through her process of structuring and writing a legal thriller while also being a wife and mother, and staying active in her full-time job. She also gives us insights into what she wanted to accomplish in a novel that she couldn’t do through nonfiction. 📚 Download your FREE Daily Writer Starter Kit at https://dailywriterlife.com/free ✉️ Want writing tips and inspiration delivered to your inbox daily?

Have you ever tried to gather all your writing and content into one location, such as a website or a collection of Microsoft Word or Google docs? Maybe you were trying to build up a portfolio of your work for prospective clients or just trying to put as much of your writing into one place as possible. If you’re like me, you were probably trying to pull from some combination of blog posts, podcasts, articles on various websites, YouTube videos, and more. And you probably gave up after a while. My guest today is here to help writers solve this problem of having your online content scattered all over the internet. His name is Eric Hauch and he is the Founder and CEO of Authory.com. Authory is the first automated platform to bring together all the content you create. You can take control of your content by having your articles, videos, podcasts and more in a single place, no matter where you publish them. You can back up your articles automatically, turn your readers into email subscribers, and find out how your pieces perform on social media. This is a genuinely fascinating and helpful resource for writers, and I’ve been using it for a couple of months now. In this conversation, Eric shares how and why he developed Authory and how you can use it to consolidate your online content and build your author platform. Eric has graciously made a special arrangement available to Daily Writer listeners, where you can get a special 30-day free trial of Authory instead of the standard 14-day free trial.
