It’s time for another collection of The Extraordinary Business Book Club’s Best Bits! Sit back and listen to half an hour of jaw-droppingly practical and powerful tips from the top writers and publishers featured in episodes 51-59, with some fascinating differences of opinion and approach:
- Mark Levy (Accidental Genius) on organising your ideas
- Lucy McCarraher (How to Write Your Book Without the Fuss) on the importance of structuring before you start
- Lisa Earle McLeod (Selling with Noble Purpose) on forgetting all about structure and just starting
- Ross Lovelock (ScQUARE) on writing for the reader
- Alan Weiss (Million Dollar Consulting) on writing for yourself
- Caroline Webb (How to Have a Good Day) on her writing playlist
- Melissa Romo (Head of Global Content, Sage) on creating a writing ritual (and specifically how her frog helps…)
- Adrian Zackheim (Portfolio Penguin) on how publishers evaluate an author’s proposal
- Louis Rosenfeld (Rosenfeld Media) on why publishing is about so much more than the book
I guarantee there’s something here that will inspire you, restore your writing mojo, get you unstuck, or at the very least make you feel like you’re not in this alone.
