The world is reacting to the death of Britain's Queen Elizabeth the Second, who died peacefully at Balmoral on Thursday September 8th at the age of 96. On Friday's Morning Focus Alan was joined by Broadcaster Stephen Fletcher, originally from the UK, now living in Kilrush to reflect on the mood of the nation. Michael Hanrahan also joined the chat. Michael who is from Dublin but resides in Lahinch was appointed by the Irish Government as the official artist for the historic Royal visit of Queen Elizabeth to Ireland. Three of his paintings hang in Buckingham Palace.

Michael Hanrahan did a painting of the Queen during her visit to Ireland in 2011, and was later invited to Buckingham Palace. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.

I'm being recruited by colleges throughout the country as a high school softball pitcher. The NCAA rules say I can go on up to five paid recruiting trips. So I have to pick and choose - it's a tough decision! The first school has an incredible coach... but I'm not sure if it's really a great fit for me. The second school I visit has a really strong team (and skiing which I love almost as much as softball)... but it's very different from my SoCal roots. Then I get approached by the University of Hawaii. They don't really have a top five team, I know nobody there, and it's really far away from home. But hello! It's a paid trip to Hawaii! I've never been there, and I'm not about to turn down an opportunity to spend a weekend in the islands. So off I go, and when I step off the plane, the smell of the air just hits me. The ocean view from my hotel room takes my breath away! It's like nothing I've ever experienced before, and I make my decision then and there. I sign on the dotted line to play softball for the University of Hawaii. As it turns out, I'd end up spending almost eight years living in Hawaii. And it probably never would have happened without that magnetic ocean view that captivated me. My guest today has made a career of documenting and telling stories about the ocean and its challenges. Michael Hanrahan has such a love affair for the ocean that he's spent 25 years involved with documentary films about it, working as an underwater camera operator in it, and even writing a fictional book about it! If you're curious to know: What two elements at the center of storytelling develop trust between you and your audience? What critical role does research have in storytelling? And why is upsetting people not an effective path to inspiring them to act for change? Then tune in as Michael and I discuss stories of Japanese bottle-nosed dolphins in distress, shark fin shenanigans and other perils of a Polynesian fisherman (past and present), and how it all ties into one of the main purposes of storytelling! What you will learn in this episode: How to tell stories about the environment that'll drive people to act How to approach sensitive topics in your storytelling Why an emotional response isn't necessarily the last thing you want to leave your audience with Who is Michael? Michael Hanrahan displays a respect for the ocean and combines it with his desire to communicate the challenges it faces. He double-majored in marine science and motion picture film at the University of Miami and has been involved with ocean documentary films for the last 25 years. He spent the early part of his career traveling to every continent (except Antarctica) working as a lecturer and underwater camera operator for Jean-Michel Cousteau. Next, Michael went on to mentor with Mike deGruy, a legend in the underwater and natural history documentary world. Together, they developed a filming strategy for a Discovery Channel production of the first video footage of the giant squid. They were also involved in the production of a short film series for the National Science Foundation about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and its environmental impacts in the Gulf of Mexico. A proposed film project in the works between them and James Cameron in 2011 was indefinitely suspended with the untimely death of deGruy in a helicopter accident in Australia. Currently, Michael is the author of the environmental thriller The Last Extinction. It tells the story of an ancient table discovered in the Amazon rainforest that reveals the truth of the relationship between humanity and nature.

There is considerable value in being a published author as a professional. In this episode, I talk to Michael Hanrahan, the Director of Publishing at Michael Hanrahan Publishing (MHP) in Melbourne. MHP helps professionals and small business owners self-publish their books. Michael has been in publishing for his entire working career, starting with Wrightbooks, a small publishing house and progressing to Managing Editor at John Wiley & Sons Australia. In 2003, Michael decided to become a freelance publishing provider, working for many of the major publishing houses, including Oxford University Press, Random House and RMIT Publishing. With experience in all areas of publishing from editing to printing to ebook and bookshop distribution, Michael started MHP in 2014. Today, MHP is a leading provider of small business self-publishing in Australia, with a focus on high-quality professional books that help those business people stand out from their competitors, sets them up as the experts in their field and helps them promote their business to a wider audience. Michael has been featured on radio, in magazines and in The Huffington Post Australia. He is also one of the original contributors to Andrew Griffith’s Smallville community, and has written a book on how to self-publish. We talk during the interview about all things writing, from structuring your book to the editing process and how to get started with your book. In This Episode: What is an end-to-end publishing service? I haven’t written a book but I think I’ve got it in me… Where do I start? Where to start in the actual writing process TIP: Why are you writing your book, and what are you actually going to write about? The central question for your book: What is the single question you’re trying to answer with your book? The importance of a brainstorming session What is a content list and how many do you need? Your first draft is just that TIP: Just write it down! The editing process is where we can make your book beautiful The second draft is when you should start sending it to people to review The importance of breaking it down into chunks Michael stresses you’re a lot closer to having a book at a scramble of 40,000 words than a perfect 5000 words How self publishing allows for you to really have your own voice Readers want practical advice. They’re not really after the’ academic fluff’ Michael is not a fan of the phrase ‘You should write as you speak’. He says, “writing is writing and speaking is speaking” but that doesn’t mean you can’t add your personality and tone to your book A sneak peak into the editing process The art of editing The different levels of editing The interior design process of creating a book The advantage of self publishing is the author gets to make the final decision with the design The most difficult part of the whole process... the cover The worst thing you can do for the cover design process The reason why Michael turns down some authors Writing the book is the easy bit, it’s the promotion phase that can be difficult A book is a business card on steroids The wrong approach to writing a book is thinking it will be a great revenue for earning cash The emerging field of audio books and the value of ebooks Michael Hanrahan Publishing Michael Hanrahan on LinkedIn Cathy Love on LinkedIn Nacre Website  Listen to more episodes here

Michael Hanrahan owns a publishing company in Melbourne Australia, Michael Hanrahan Publishing, and is the author of Stand Out, 7 steps to self-publishing a book that will build your profile, promote your business and make you stand out from the crowd. Today we discussed: Why the lines between traditional publishing and self-publishing have become blurred. Self-published books use to have poorly designed covers, sub-standard layout and poor print quality. They looked cheap, but not anymore. Technology has changed the publishing world. Everything runs on a digital workflow and it’s now more viable to do short, high-quality print runs. Printing 200 copies is now quite common. It now only takes three months from a written word document to finished book. What is an ISBN and why is it important? ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number and you need to get this right. Every book and eBook has an individual ISBN number and some self-publishers make the mistake of trying to use the same ISBN number for different book formats. Why should someone write a book and self-publish it? Imagine your book like a huge business card. It opens doors. Writing a book can lead to speaking gigs and television appearances, and it’s a great way of reconnecting with past clients. It’s also a great way to make contact with new business contacts by sending them a copy of your book. Why a book gives you street cred: There are a lot of people writing blogs, but there a far fewer people writing books., because it takes dedication to put together 30,000 to 50,000 words, and it also shows commitment. Simple facts: You become a better writer by writing. Writing a book will make you more intelligent, due to research. It’s a guarantee that someone is going to hate your book…just accept it. 7 Steps To Self-Publishing Planning: This is not the writing process; this is about scheduling and budgeting your book with your publisher. Editing: It’s more than just checking spelling. It’s about creating a better book. Your editor will offer suggestions and improvements and it’s a great time for the author to ask questions. One of the big advantages of self-publishing is you’re the boss, so you do get the final say in the editing process. Design: Design includes the front and back cover, the spine, the internal layout and paper selection. There are usually three to four rounds during the design process and multiple suggestions each time, so you may see up to 20 variations. This is why you should judge a book by its cover. A cover says a lot about the book and the time taken in the design process. Proofreading and indexing: Editing is about improving the overall quality of the book. The Proofreader is a whole new person who has never seen your book and they are simply looking for mistakes (spelling, comma’s etc). They don’t offer writing advice. Printing Ebook and print on demand Distribution The average sized of a book is 30,000 – 40,000 words, or approximately 170 pages. The average cost to publish a book is $12,000, from start to finish and there are no other hidden costs. This price includes 200 printed copies. Whatever you level of writing, your editor will help you the rest of the way, but your personality will come through in the finished product. It’s important to keep your personality and to write in your voice because it introduces you to the reader.They need to hear your entrepreneurial spirit in your voice.  You can connect with Michael via his website www.Mhpublishing.com.au where you can organise a FREE 30-minute DISCOVERY CALL directly with Michael. This is worth considering if you’ve already got a book written but you don’t know what to do next.
