In this solo episode of the Thriving Authors Podcast, I'm excited to share what has helped me write my back cover and my longer book descriptions. I even give an example of the description from my book that came out in December called “Your Book Matters: 52 love notes from my creative heart to yours.” On the surface, writing your book description seems pretty simple…but it is super common to struggle with this task because you need to condense so much into a short space! To write a compelling book description, you need to 1) give the reader a sense of what your book is about; 2) introduce the reader to your own authentic voice and style; 3) sell your book; 4) grab the reader's attention and leave them wanting more! I dive into: The distinction between your book description and your back cover description. Some exercises that are really helpful with taking away the pressure and stress of writing the description of your book. Why I recommend writing your book description before you reach the end of your manuscript. How to grab the reader's attention in your book description. A little trick I use to hone in on how to write to the ideal reader of your book. Check out the back cover description from my new novel BEFORE & AFTER YOU & ME, coming May 7th from @OwlHollowPress & now available for pre-order!! #linkinbioEmma blames herself when a freak accident at a pool party leaves Hunter, the town's rising track star and her former boyfriend, paralyzed from the waist down. As she struggles with anxiety, loneliness and regret, she begins to obsessively paint portraits of legs and feet—Hunter's legs and feet—and for the first time receives critical acclaim and notice for her artwork. But what started as therapeutic for Emma ends up deepening her guilt. Does creating meaningful art require retreating inward toward self-expression, or striving outward toward recognition—or can it somehow be both? Searching for one whole, authentic identity, Emma grapples with love, ambition, grief, homecoming, and—ultimately—redemption. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dallas-woodburn/support

Are you the woman that is expected to hold it together, where all of your energy is consumed in the everyday? The type of woman who has wild dreams, but your obligations are overpowering, and those beautiful dreams stay on the backburner of your heart's greatest longings? If so, this episode is for you! In one of my MOST cherished conversations on the podcast, New York Times bestselling author Lauren Grodstein joins me for an intimate and heartwarming discussion about living as a woman in what is still a Virginia Woolf world, indoctrinated as "women of labor" and the demands of life as the oldest daughter of her family. In this conversation, we also speak to how womanhood poses challenges as a Jewish woman specifically, in light of the tragic events on and following October 7th, and how her latest book release We Must Not Think of Ourselves was unintentionally a timely message sharing the stories of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1940 and keeping their stories alive.  We are once again living in a time when no choice feels like a good choice, but Lauren does an impressive job depicting this in her novel, and in real life on this podcast. She truly has a way with words that awakens your senses to truly see + feel as if you are there, and encompassing all emotions. Be sure to stay tuned till the end, where she graciously also shares with us secrets of the publishing process and how to make writing your book easier - bye bye Writer's Block, hello Paris? About Lauren: Lauren Grodstein is the author of five novels, including the Read with Jenna selection and national bestseller We Must Not Think of Ourselves, New York Times bestseller A Friend of the Family and the Washington Post Book of the Year The Explanation for Everything. Lauren's work has been translated into French, Turkish, German, Hebrew, and other languages, and her essays and reviews have been widely published.  She teaches in the MFA Program at Rutgers University-Camden and lives in New Jersey with her husband and children.

In this very real but also honest conversation with Joshua Pellicer on the I Was Born to Do This podcast, I opened up about the seismic shifts happening in our world, especially around AI, and the urgent need for authors to ink their wisdom now, more than ever. With the landscape of content creation rapidly morphing, Joshua mentioned the pivotal moment we're in. AI's ascendancy means our window to establish our voice, our expertise, through the written word, is narrowing. In the next couple of years, how we're perceived as thought leaders hinges on our ability to share our unique insights and stories. AI, while a tool of incredible potential, ushers in a future where the value of authorship could diminish, making it paramount for us to act swiftly. This isn't just about racing against the tide of technology but seizing the opportunity to embed our perspectives in a world that's increasingly looking to AI for guidance. Joshua's message is a call to action: Write that book, share your truth, and do it now, because soon, the rules of the game might just change. Key moments: 8:00 My process of writing a book 20:10 Common misconception with AI 23:22 How to properly work with AI 40:40 A message to authors about AI 46:25 Why you need to write your book now If you are anything like Joshua and want to share your magic with the world but don't know where to start, click here - https://www.joapublishing.com

In this solo episode of the Thriving Authors Podcast, I address the common misconception that writing a book will take a lot of time – time away from your business and other money making actions that seem more urgent. Spoiler alert: I think that the opposite is true! I believe that writing your book is one of the biggest gifts to your business and one of the best things you can do to increase efficiency and productivity and save time in your business. You'll hear me share reasons and examples why I think this, including: How to avoid spending all our time putting out fires of day-to-day business and client tasks. The simple way writing a book allows you to schedule your CEO time on a consistent basis and actually stay committed to it. The mindset shifts that I and my clients have experienced that have helped us to grow into the next level in life and business. The importance of creating an enduring content bank and the strategy I use for organizing content so it's easy to find and keep track of. After listening I think you'll agree that writing a book is the most efficient time-saving gift for your business! And if you're not already there, I'd love for you to join me in my free Facebook group called Women Entrepreneurs Becoming Best Selling Authors. If you are an entrepreneur who wants to write and publish the book inside your heart, this is the place to be! We discuss the podcast episodes, I regularly go live with free challenges, and you may even meet your new writing partner to swap pages with. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dallas-woodburn/support
