A note from me:
Many moons ago I had a whimsical thought about writing a book.
It began rattling in my brain in an attempt to escape my mind. I kept it suppressed expecting it to go away. I had many reasons/excuses to not proceed. Not enough time. What if people laughed…
Trouble was, it didn’t go away. And then, the one book turned into another, and another. They were filling my head like little gremlins.
I had been running my hypnotherapy practice since 1992 and knew how crippling anxieties and fears could be. Daily, I helped people to make changes and take control of their lives by acting on their calling, desires and dreams. And while I was busy in a Mother Teresa-like way I was not pursuing my own dreams of being published.
And then one day, I had that other thought: you probably know the one, ‘how hard can it be?’
Well, I could have decorated a room with rejection slips.
Forwards, upward and twirling on it became apparent that maybe it was a little harder than I had imagined. Even though my ideas were the best in the world, neither agents nor publishers agreed.
I cringe and shudder now when I think of the rubbish I sent out. I laugh at my furious defence mechanisms. I smile that in one proposal I managed to spell whispers in 3 different ways but giggled when John Hunt shared that he had misspelled Buddhism, more than once.
I learnt to toughen up and studied the process of publishing: the dark underworld where cigar-smoking moguls and women in giant shoulder-pads made decisions on words. That last bit only existed in my imagination and only until I signed my first publishing contract.
Leap forwards in time. I had yet another whimsical thought about helping other people become published. Being an author and publisher myself and with a background as a therapist, I know the way. And this is what I do.
If you have knowledge to share or can weave words into entertaining stories you can be published.
Together we can devise a cunning plan for you to create your book.
You could be signing your own book for an excited reader and, I assure you, that is a rather yummy experience.
