Oonagh Duncan:
Healthy As F*ck
Oonagh Duncan and I worked on her book proposal for Healthy as F*ck. If you find the word f*ck too hard to handle, you’re not her reading audience, nor will you like this interview. But that word got Oonagh a book deal, complete with bidding war, and it spoke to the very people who would want the other products and services she offers. That word was part of the design.
Dr. Edith Shiro:
The Gift of Trauma
How can trauma be a gift?! That’s the question author Edith Shiro has been fielding since her book was released by Harvest in February, 2023. Dr. Shiro built her psychotherapy practice around trauma recovery and post traumatic growth. Big trauma, trauma with a “t”, collective trauma, she’s seen it all in her professional and personal life. For over 25 years, she’s sought to understand who thrives because of their trauma and why. We discuss the growth process involved in writing and publishing a book like this as well.
Mozella Ademiluyi:
Rise!
Mozella Ademiluyi understands failure, resilience, and ultimate success. Her inspirational book, Rise!: Lean Within Your Inner Power & Wisdom, documents how her inability to summit Kilimanjaro at the age of 50 led to her second successful attempt to stand atop Africa’s highest peak at age 60. She shares her battle with self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and fear with other high achievers who never feel quite up to snuff.
Vicki Suiter:
The Profit Bleed
Vicki Suiter, author of The Profit Bleed, knew what she wanted her book to do for her reader and for her business. To save contractors time, pain, and money she told them a story they could relate to and lead them seamlessly through her framework. Vicki sells books consistently and shares her strategy for doing so. Her book also serves as the perfect gateway into her other products and programs.
Catherine Rolt:
The Pain Paradox
Catherine Rolt, author of The Pain Paradox, has a huge mission, which was the driving force behind writing her book. She believes that pain is our friend and is trying to teach us something that we’ve likely been avoiding. Ignoring unpleasant events, relationships, or unresolved issues isn’t so hard to do when you’ve become detached from who you are. When you’re singularly focused on what is wrong with you, rather than what is right.
Jon Corteen:
The Profit Culture Formula
Jon Corteen, author of The Profit Culture Formula and The Catfish Interview, is all about strategy. He understood, from the very beginning, how the right book could yield a healthy return on his investment, set him apart in his industry, and scale him in his own company. He saw ALL the moving parts, how they fit together. And then some. But seeing the parts and getting them on the page are different things. Which is where we come in.
Dayna Abraham:
Calm The Chaos
What happens when the agent with whom you have a relationship turns down your firsts proposal AND tells you your credibility is in question? If you’re Dayna Abraham, you keep going. You write a new proposal that gets you a 6-figure book deal AND you write the book in less than 6 months. Because your mission and vision are bigger than self doubt.
“Three seconds after I decided I wanted to write a book, I immediately drew a blank in execution. Ann was my save. She gave me the confidence to dive into the unknown. Ann and I challenged each other relentlessly. She ripped ideas out of my head I didn’t even know I had and I broke down processes she needed to get right to truly represent me. In the end, our battle of the minds produced a book that speaks my language and that of my audience. I’m not just proud of the outcome, I value the entire journey immensely.”
Jon Corteen
author of The Profit Culture Formula: Manufacture Happiness, Raving Fans,
And Outrageous Income
