How to Deliver Your Book Baby

Novel Marketing

Authors often refer to their books as "babies." As I've worked in the publishing world with authors and now that we are awaiting the birth of our fourth child, I'm starting to see a lot of similarities between birthing a book baby and a human baby.
We can learn a lot about delivering a book baby by looking at the process of delivering a real baby. In this week's episode, you'll gain insight on

• The author's experience in each stage of book-baby development
• How to cover the expenses related to holding your book baby for the first time
• How to nourish your book baby and promote healthy growth

Listen in or check out the blog version of this episode to find out what to expect when publishing a book and what your "book baby" needs for a healthy gestation, birth, and life.
