Start imaging your roadmap to becoming an author with insights and writing inspiration from my guest, Linda Sivertsen. She’s joining us to reveal how she helps writers navigate the beauty of writing a book and getting book proposals.   “I just happen to be one of those freaky weird people who just loves the selling process. I love book proposals.” -Linda Sivertsen  What we’re unpacking in this episode:  The birthing process of writing  Working with publishers and agents Selling your book before you write it  There’s so much to unpack in the book writing process. It’s part beautiful, part painful, and part scary. Should you write a book, should you not write a book? One of the points Linda touches on is the pain of seeing someone die with the regret of not having written their story. Her beautiful reminder is to listen to your higher self when it comes to writing. If there’s an internal nudge and inner voice saying to write this book, whatever it is, listen!  “If you have the ache, you have what it takes to write.” -Linda Sivertsen  Connect with Linda Sivertsen  Website: https://bookmama.com/   Get Access to the Artpreneur Accelerator:  Pre-Order My New Book, Artpreneur  For full show notes go to schulmanart.com/230 ++++++++++++++++++++ ?FREE GOODIES!?
