From Blank Page to Brand: The Real Work of Self-Publishing

Simplify + Scale

Thinking about writing a book? You need to hear this first.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Michelle Barard—editor, author advocate, and founder of Michelle Barard, LLC—to talk about what really happens after you write your book.

We cover:

• How to find your message (even if you think you have nothing to say)
• The most common mistakes new authors make when launching a book
• What it takes to market a book effectively (spoiler: it’s not just a Facebook post)
• Why your book is a business—and how to treat it that way
• The emotional challenges of visibility and being seen online as an author

Whether you're a coach, a consultant, or a creative, Michelle’s practical and mindset-based wisdom will help you bring your book into the world with purpose.
