Maggie shares the nuances behind framing a book that challenges conventional thought and builds a counter-intuitive idea, which is—by the way—the formula behind every successful book.So tune in for wisdom that transcends the mess of the writing and the insecurity of the publishing process so that you can take the next step toward sharing the story you can't stop telling.Resources: Connect with Maggie Read Maggie's booksBOOKBOUND Spring Accelerator with Fran & BethanyProduced by Share Your Genius

About THE PERSONAL LIBRARIAN: In THE PERSONAL LIBRARIAN, Belle da Costa Greene is given the opportunity of a lifetime, to be the personal librarian to prominent financier and banker John Pierpont Morgan. The newly built Pierpont Morgan Library is hers to curate, and she soon becomes a fixture in the art world and J.P. Morgan's personal confidant. With impeccable taste, shrewd negotiation skills, and an unparalleled fashion sense, Belle takes New York City by storm and helps Morgan build a world-class collection. All the while, Belle is hiding a secret that has the power to destroy the reputation she worked so hard to forge—a secret that would bar her from the very institution she ran. She was born not Belle da Costa Greene but Belle Marion Greener, daughter of Richard Greener, the first Black graduate of Harvard and a well-known advocate for equality. In order to protect herself from post-Civil War society, which was still gripped by rampant racism, she abandons her name and fabricates a white identity that will allow her to access the opportunities she deserves. But as she gets closer to J.P. Morgan, experiences her first romance with a fellow curator, and builds the Morgan Library to international prominence, Belle finds herself torn between her desire for success and her yearning to be herself. Surrounded by the expectations of others and the harsh realities of American society, Belle must decide, once and for all, who she will be. www.authormariebenedict.com www.victoriachristophermurray.com ABOUT THE AUTHORS Marie Benedict is a lawyer with more than ten years' experience as a litigator.
