Writing a book is just 50%, the other 50% is marketing, distribution, promotion, etc - and I love this podcast because I’ve learned so much on the business side of book writing.
Apple Podcasts5MissamychanUnited States7 months ago - A Must Listen!
This podcast is so informative and helpful. Anna’s tips are smart, tactical, and honest. Anna covers everything in her podcasts, from interviews with other authors, to tips on how to have a successful launch. Anna’s knowledge has helped me successfully publish and market 3 children’s book of my own. I’ve been listening to this podcasts for about 4 years now, and I look forward to every new episode!

I've been thinking about writing a book for a while now, and it was Anna David's On Good Authority that finally motivated me to take action. This incredible podcast reveals the hidden secrets that aspiring authors really need to know. All of the interviews (and Anna’s content) goes beyond just the writing process and explores the art of crafting a book to establish your authority.
