Growing your platform while writing your book? Starting a podcast to attract your target readers? Turning your podcast episodes into a book?

We're talking about it all with my friend, Dallas Woodburn, author, writing coach, and host of the Thriving Authors podcast. We discuss how planning your podcast is similar to planning your book; how Dallas uses her podcast to grow her own platform, and how she sees authors using podcasts to market their book as a host or guest.

Launching your first book this year? Start pitching to guest on podcasts sooner rather than later!

My friend Rebecca George, host of the Radical Radiance podcast, and author of two books now is here to take us behind the scenes of her first book launch when she started pitching podcasts LONG before her traditional publisher's PR started.

Today’s episode is actually part of a longer two-part conversation I had with Rebecca on episode 68 (linked below).

Today you’ll hear her how soon she started pitching podcasts, what to include in your pitch, and what she likes to see in a pitch herself as a podcast host.
