Does the road to publishing your book feel like an impossible maze of stats and gatekeepers?
Meet Julie Chavez. Her writing has been featured in the New York Post and Zibby Mag, and she is the author of USA Today bestselling book, “Everyone But Myself: A Memoir”. She writes to explore the joys and impossibilities of mothering and modern womanhood and her story of getting her book published will inspire you to keep going, even when roadblocks seem like the rule.
Julie sits down with us to share her journey from blogging, to successfully navigating the publishing world. This is THE episode for peeling back the layers of the traditional, boutique, and hybrid publishing types, underscoring the financial and creative implications of each.
We’re extra excited because we got to sit down with Julie even before Everyone But Myself was set to launch in January of 2023. Our discussion about the march toward her launch event and the emotional toll of publicly sharing one's art is extra juicy because her book so quickly became a USA Today Bestseller!
Join us as Julie outlines her winning strategies—from impactful newsletter engagement to storytelling through essays and a novel. This episode is a masterclass for new writers ready to make that first book happen.
