This week on the Journey to Launch Podcast, I’m speaking with my book, Your Journey to Financial Freedom’s coach and editor, Amanda C. Bauch. Our relationship has spanned over two years in bringing the book to life. On this 6 month anniversary of my book being out in the world, I am bringing you this conversation to provide a comprehensive look at the behind-the-scenes work involved in writing and publishing a book, plus Amanda’s experience as a freelancer and working for a big publishing house. Amanda is a writer, editor, and teacher who delights in helping authors share their ideas with the world. Whether ghostwriting, collaborating, editing, or coaching, she strives to provide whatever guidance and encouragement authors need along the way.

In this episode, Amanda shares:

Her history and passion for writing & editing, which started from a young age and her experience working at a big five publisher, discussing challenges and opportunities.
The lengthy process of book publishing, highlighting the time and effort required from inception to publication.
Why she left HarperCollins to return to freelancing and how she created a work life balance
Traditional publishing vs self publishing and what is the new publishing modality; hybrid publishing + much more!

This episode is the first part of a two part conversation I had with Amanda. In next week’s episode we will cover more about my book, Your Journey to Financial Freedom and how Amanda helped me with the creative and writing process + more behind the scenes.
