Ep #99: Just bloody write a book and get it published with coach and author Penny Wincer
Description
Welcome welcome, if you're new - this show's for heroic creatives who are marketing their work online. We’re in this together!
And this week, we're chatting to author and writing coach Penny Wincer.
Penny's life changed 3 years ago when she wrote and published her first book Tender, a compassionate and important book about the job of unpaid caring. It was informed by her experiences caring for first her mum, then her son.
It made her a go-to expert on the subject of caring and she's been featured in Red magazine, national newspapers and on BBC radio.
She also discovered a super power. That she's amazing at pitches. Or book proposals - the piece of writing you share with a potential publisher that argues the case for your book. Why it's marketable and saleable and why they should take a chance on it.
So now she helps other authors to pitch their big ideas.
We discuss,
how to get to the point and win a pitch
why writing a book is a great idea (and when it might not be)
how to be most productive by doing exactly what you want
