Author Gregg McBride and Illustrator Anaïs Chartschenko chat with Draft2Digital about their new illustrated children's book, what it took to write, illustrate, and publish it."Biron The Bee Who Couldn't" (new children's picture book, debuts on June 10) Written by Gregg McBride, Illustrated by Anaïs Chartschenko, and available at Amazon.Gregg McBride has been told he couldn't do things many times, yet went on to do them anyway. He works to inspire and help others through his books (Weightless and Just Stop Eating So Much), columns (for Psychology Today), and even a top-rated TV movie (A Heavenly Christmas). He also teaches meditation for Insight Timer and is committed to animal rescue. This is Gregg's first children's book, and he hopes it will remind kids of all ages that their dreams matter.Anaïs Chartschenko bee-lieves that persistence and enthusiasm can transform into talent and luck. After being told by an English teacher that she couldn't write, she went on to publish multiple books (The Weightless One and Sailing Toward Us). She was advised she shouldn't dream of pursuing something as complex as opera, and so she learned to sing arias in several languages. She was informed quite firmly that being an illustrator was out of the question—yet this is her first illustrated children's book. People also said she would never grow to be 5 feet tall...well, can't win 'em all!//Draft2Digital is where you start your Indie Author Career// Looking for your path to self-publishing success?

Sarah Sampino is an actor from Long (LAWWng) Island – but you only hear her accent after she's had a few drinks. She is continuously surprised by the support of her business-oriented parents, who swear that she sang “Part of Your World” before she could talk. Apparently that can't go on a resume. Sarah earned her B.F.A in Drama from New York University, and her BF from England. She learned to sword fight at RADA, and also trained at The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute and Stonestreet Studios. In addition to her TV, film, and theatrical work, Sarah performs for voice-overs and audiobooks. We love her open live-streamed videos of work on current audiobook projects on TikTok and thought it would be fun to get her insights into the life of an actor and narrator.//Draft2Digital is where you start your Indie Author Career// Looking for your path to self-publishing success?

Many entrepreneurs dream of becoming best-selling authors. But many never do because we have families, careers and busy lives to manage (at least that's what we tell ourselves). However, I'm here to tell you that is not totally true. In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Juan Marcos Bejarano Gutierez. He is a Rabbi, Engineer, and Amazon Bestselling author. We dive into what his area of expertise is. The ups and downs of being an author and his secret to writing over 35 books while having a family, career, and congregation to care for. He's an amazing individual with great insights on history, religion, entrepreneurship, and the human experience. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did, Thanks for listening!

Serve No Master : Escape the 9-5, Fire Your Boss, Achieve Financial Freedom
The traditional publishing industry might have a hard time breathing but is still alive. For many authors, the ultimate goal is to see their book on the shelves, maybe take a picture with it. Of course, this also means a pleasant income stream and an even better position to grow your business. If you chose to have a traditional publisher, it's good to know that it is their job to take care of the printing, warehousing, shipping, and all the hassle that comes with it. In a sense, it seems like they do everything for you, but sell your book...what is your job then?Self-publishing vs independent publishingYour job is to find the audience for your book. It might seem logical to write the book, have it distributed to a bookstore or the airport and then gather your fan base, but this entire process would be far easier if you build your platform beforehand. Twitter and a decent email list is the way to go. If you're wondering should I self publish, learn more on how to self-publish a book in today's episode.▶️▶️▶️▶️ Resources mentioned:Books by JonathanTOOLBOXJesse KriegerSEMRushLeave some feedback.
