  • How to Stand By Your Message | Author Interview

    How to Stand By Your Message | Author Interview
    Apr 4 2025
    Nonfiction authors & thought leaders: Write with courage, bridge divides, and defend your work without getting canceled.

    Want to finally publish your book and start making money from it? Download my free FREE guide - The Publishing Decision: How to Choose the Best Path for Your Book! here: http://authornation.online/publishing

    🔑 Key Takeaways
    • ✨ How To Stand By Your Message: Build resilience by locking into your why (legacy > likes). Use Viktor Frankl’s framework to separate feedback from attacks—explain, don’t defend.
    • 🗣️ Writing About Politics Without Choosing Sides: Neutralize bias by focusing on shared values (e.g., education, safety) vs. partisan rhetoric. Avoid weaponized language; amplify voices, not divides.
    • 🛡️ Red-Team Your Manuscript Against Criticism: Stress-test your arguments with critics who hate your thesis. Refine logic, fix blind spots, and bulletproof your narrative before publishing.
    • 🌉 Bridge Divides, Don’t Widen Them: Start with common ground. Both sides want progress—frame debates around solutions, not sides.
    👥 For Nonfiction authors, activists, and leaders tackling polarizing topics.

    Join host Melody Ann and sustainability expert John Pabon (author of The Great Greenwashing) as they tackle the publishing industry’s environmental impact and share actionable steps for being an earth-conscious author.

    🔑 Key Takeaways:
    • 📉 Publishing’s Hidden Footprint: The industry cuts 32M trees/year and emits 40M+ tons of CO₂ (equal to Portugal’s annual emissions!).
    • 🌿 Eco-Friendly Book Marketing Tips: Opt for hybrid models (e-books/audiobooks) and partner with publishers using recycled materials or carbon-neutral printing.
    • 🚫 Avoid Greenwashing: Scrutinize publishers’ sustainability claims—demand transparency over vague buzzwords like “eco-friendly” or “green.”
    • 📱 Amplify Your Impact: Use platforms like TikTok to share eco-conscious messaging (e.g., #SustainablePublishing) and support creators like cli-fi pioneer Jeanille Hilton.
