  • HUB 481: EXPERT INTERVIEW - Jennifer S. Wilkov
    Nov 18 2025
    I’m pleased to interview one of our Biz Book Pub Hub Partners. Our Hub Partners are experts who support entrepreneurs along their author journey. What if you had a literary matchmaker, a creative consultant, and a publishing powerhouse all rolled into one? That’s exactly what today’s guest brings to the table. Known as “The Dear Abby of Publishing” and “The Literary Agent Matchmaker,” she’s spent more than 20 years helping writers at every level, whether you're drafting your first chapter, prepping for a publisher pitch, or dreaming of seeing your story on the big screen. She’s an award-winning author herself, but she’s also the go-to expert behind the scenes, editing manuscripts for publishers, advising literary agents, and helping debut and established authors alike bring their books and platforms to life. Through her company, Your Book Is Your Hook!, she helps authors navigate every path to publishing, build marketing strategies that last beyond launch day, and even explore how to expand their story into film, TV, and theater. From nonfiction to novels, screenplays to children's books, she meets writers where they are—and helps them get where they want to go. She provides writers with the guidance, structure, and industry access to turn creative projects into real-world results. Please join me in welcoming Jennifer Wilkov. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 The Five Paths to Publishing: Gain a clear breakdown of traditional with a literary agent, traditional without an agent, independent/self-publishing, e-publishing, and audiobook publishing—and how each one impacts your business goals, timeline, and strategy. 🟠 Building a Powerful Platform: Learn what “platform” really means to publishers, how to evaluate your reach, and the modern essentials for author visibility that drive real business outcomes. 🟠 Beyond the Book: Discover what it takes to translate your business content into sustainable income streams—think courses, speaking gigs, memberships, and even adaptations for film or TV. 🟠 Working with the Right Team: Understand why publishing (and everything after) isn’t a solo sport, how to vet collaborators and avoid industry shysters, and when to call in legal or marketing experts.

  • HUB 479: AUTHOR PANEL - Jacqueline Kucera and Marcey Rader
    Nov 4 2025
    Publishing a book is exciting—but without a clear strategy, it’s easy to waste time and money on tactics that don’t deliver. I’ve seen authors spend thousands on marketing tools or consultants without first identifying their goals, audience, or messaging. The result? A lot of effort with very little return. That’s why I emphasize building a strategic foundation before making big investments. When you know who your book is for, how it fits into your business, and what success looks like, you can make smarter decisions and avoid costly detours. If you’re unsure how to make your book work for your business—or you’ve already spent money on tactics that fell flat—I invite you to a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session. Schedule yours at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. Let’s dive into today’s panel discussion, where our guests will share real stories of what happens when you lead with strategy—or don’t. Jacqueline Kucera, author of “Fearless Mind: How Your Human Brain Beats Artificial Intelligence.” Marcey Rader wrote “Reclaim Your Workday: Sustainable Productivity Strategies for the New World of Work,” a guide for professionals who are done with burnout and ready to take back control. This book offers practical, real-world strategies to work smarter, communicate more effectively, and lead with purpose. Please join me in welcoming Jacqueline and Marcey. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Making Your Book a Strategic Business Asset: Discover how to use your book as a B2B marketing tool (not just chasing sales) with smart outreach, bulk giveaways, and creative follow-up that generate real leads and consulting gigs. 🟠 The Evolution from First Book Nerves to Confident Author: Hear candid storiees about “birth-like” nerves as a debut author to finding a groove, growing from reader feedback, and integrating books into a leadership practice. 🟠 Launch Teams, Reviews, and Tangible Touchpoints: Learn practical hacks for gathering Amazon reviews, crafting strategic launch teams, using bookmarks and postcards with QR codes, and keeping your book top-of-mind long after launch day. 🟠 Turn Your Book Into a Door Opener: We dig into real examples of how physical books, postcards, and bookmarks are conversation starters and business development tools—plus bonus tips for hosting your own events and tying launches to big conferences.

  • HUB 478: EXPERT INTERVIEW - Anne Bartolucci
    Oct 28 2025
    I’m pleased to interview one of our Biz Book Pub Hub Partners. Our Hub Partners are experts who support entrepreneurs along their author journey. What if writing a book wasn’t just about getting published—but about becoming more of who you’re meant to be? Today’s guest has written over twenty books across fiction and nonfiction, taught hundreds of professionals how to write with purpose, and turned a lifelong love of storytelling into a business that helps experts finally bring their books to life. She’s not your typical writing coach. With a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, decades of lived experience with ADHD, and a USA Today bestseller under her belt, she understands that there’s no one-size-fits-all method to writing a book that matters. Instead, she blends neuroscience, creativity, and gentle accountability to help authors conquer their inner critics, connect their message to their mission, and actually enjoy the process. She’s the founder of Psych Up Academy, a thriving community for professionals who want to elevate their platform, grow their impact, and create something they’re proud of—without burning out or giving up. Please join me in welcoming Anne Bartolucci. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Writing Beyond the Generic: Why there’s no “one-size-fits-all” template for business books, and how bringing personality, story, and lived experience creates books that truly connect.🟠 Boundaries in the Book Process: How Anne designed her writing mentorship to empower authors from idea to first draft—without letting scope creep swallow her business or creative energy. 🟠 Idea to Execution: Practical tips on clarifying your book concept, finding your edge, and avoiding the rabbit hole of writing “three books in one”—plus when to seek expert mentorship.🟠 Community, Accountability, and Alchemy: The inside scoop on Anne’s cohort-based writing model, how author community accelerates progress, and why structured feedback keeps you moving from blank page to published.

  • HUB 476: AUTHOR PANEL - Amanda Slade and Marcia Dawood
    Oct 14 2025
    You’ve poured your heart into your manuscript, and now you’re holding the keys to a whole new adventure. Publishing doesn’t close the chapter—it flips the page to the part where your book truly comes alive. Turning your words into a printed or digital book is just the beginning of your author odyssey. The real magic happens when you connect with readers, spark conversations, and watch your message ripple out into the world. That’s why I partner with entrepreneurs to design launch strategies that do more than sell books—they forge genuine bonds. We’ll pinpoint who needs your book most, then map out launch events and content that keeps engagement thriving long after day one. Think of your book as a catalyst for business growth, not a one-off product. If you’re ready to transform your launch into an engine for influence, let’s brainstorm together. Book a complimentary 30-minute session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com and let’s explore how to align your book with your bigger goals. Today’s panel will dive into real-world lessons from authors who’ve walked this road. You’ll hear what fueled their successes, where they hit bumps, and the insights that reshaped their approach. Amanda Slade shares her journey with “Evolve Into Your All: Create & Live in the 5th Dimension of Love, Joy & Prosperity!,” a powerful blend of science and spirituality designed to elevate your life and business by tapping into the 5th Dimension. Marcia Dawood reveals how her book, “Do Good While Doing Well: Invest for Change, Reap Financial Rewards, and Increase Your Happiness,” equips you to harness angel investing for social impact, financial gain, and personal fulfillment. Please join me in welcoming Amanda and Marcia. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 How Content Becomes a Book—and More: these authors reveal how years of lived expertise, workshops, and podcasts seeded books that now serve as gateways to signature programs and business growth. 🟠 The Overlooked Engine of Discovery: Find out why intentional review strategies (not just hoping and wishing) fuel long-term book visibility, Amazon love, and actual new client leads. 🟠 Extending Your Reach: Learn how Kindle Flash Sales, bundle offers, and speaking tie-ins can breathe new life into your business book well after launch day. 🟠 Why Going Solo is a Trap: Both authors share the real impact of community-driven marketing, including launch teams, flash sales, and cross-promotions for widening your influence and building your book’s business value.

  • HUB 474: AUTHOR PANEL - Carolyn Choate, Eric Lucrezia, and Susan Fitzell
    Sep 30 2025
    What if writing your book wasn’t the finish line, but the moment everything starts? Today, we’re celebrating what happens when a book becomes more than just pages on a shelf. When you publish with intention, you’re not just sharing your ideas—you’re stepping into new rooms, starting fresh conversations, and creating momentum you couldn’t have planned for. Books open doors. Sometimes quietly, like a surprising email from a dream client. Sometimes loudly, with standing ovations at speaking gigs or major media invitations. But always powerfully. And when you build your book with the right foundation, it doesn’t just open one door; it holds every door open for what’s next. It’s a perfect day to talk about this, because the day we record this episode, my newest book, “LAUNCH Your Book! An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Reviews That Drive Revenue,” officially launches. This book received more than 200 written Amazon reviews during its two-week soft launch. Many of those readers said this is the book they wish they had when they launched their first book—and I agree. It’s designed to help you turn readers into clients, reviews into revenue, and your book into a lasting business asset. You can get the book and bonus content at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. And now, I’m thrilled to welcome today’s panelists—authors who know firsthand how publishing a book can spark surprising opportunities and incredible growth. Carolyn Choate wrote “Supercharge Your Website Traffic: Unlock The Secrets To Infinite Website Visitors” to help you discover the four essential types of website traffic—Borrowed, Organic Inbound, Organic Outbound, and Paid—and learn how to mix and match them to create a personalized, results-driven traffic strategy that actually fits your business. Eric Lucrezia wrote “Getting into an MBA in the USA: The no B.S. guide from Candidate Coach,” a no-fluff, step-by-step guide to standing out and getting accepted by top MBA programs around the world—with expert advice tailored to where you’re applying. Susan Fitzell wrote “Neurodiversity in the Workplace: Maximizing Success through Inclusive Dynamic Workplace Design™,” a strategic guide for C-suite leaders to unlock innovation and boost performance by building inclusive, neurodiverse teams through practical, business-driven solutions. Please join me in welcoming Carolyn, Eric, and Susan. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 From Book to Business Growth: The power of writing to your ideal reader, then watching that audience expand as your book builds credibility, visibility, and new business opportunities. 🟠 Leveraging Reviews for Real Results: Unpack hands-on tactics for landing Amazon reviews that boost your book’s algorithmic visibility and your market authority. 🟠 Adapting Your Message to Meet the Market: Learn how evolving audiences, current events, or market resistance can change your strategy—and why adaptability matters for business authors. 🟠 Collaboration and Expert Positioning: Explore the benefits of teaming up with fellow experts or contributors to strengthen your network, credibility, and impact beyond the book.
