The Women In Business Radio Show
How to Publish a Book Without Getting Ripped Off, with Karen Stanley
Karen Stanley, founder of Mabel and Stanley Publishing, joins Sian Murphy and Adelle Martin to talk about what actually happens when you decide to write a book, and why it rarely goes the way you expect. Karen is a fifteen times published author who has been through traditional publishing, self publishing, a horrible run in with a vanity press, and finally built her own hybrid publishing house after mentoring over eighty new authors. In this episode she breaks down the difference between traditional, self, hybrid and vanity publishing, explains the red flags that show a publisher is preying on new writers, and shares why marketing, not writing, is where most authors get stuck. She also talks through real client examples, including a mindset coach for professional footballers, a Paralympic gold medallist, and a sleep coach who quit her day job after her book took off. If you have ever thought about writing a book for your business, or wondered whether the publishing deal you have been offered is too good to be true, this one is for you.
