Leah Bell is the author of the brand new book, The Angry Grad. It’s a book for students and recent college graduates who might be facing a mountain of debt and uncertain job prospects. In her book, she shares some hard-nosed facts and advice about college and the working world, and then offers practical ideas and asks questions that can help the reader think through his or her options after graduation. In my conversation with Leah, she talks about why she wrote this book, who it’s aimed at, and what they can expect to get out of it. She also talks about how she wrote it, and what she plans to do to market it. If you haven’t already noticed from my previous episodes, I’m a champion for the self-publishers out there, and I have invited several authors who have self-published their work on Amazon and have done quite well at it. This is Leah’s first book, and I thought her story would provide inspiration to all of you who are working on your first book, or thinking about writing one. I think you’ll enjoy this conversation as much as I did. If you want to check out her book and buy a copy on Amazon, just click here.
