Ever dreamed about how to write a book about your expertise in mental health, wellbeing, or psychotherapy? It may be easier than you think. But without solid advice, you may end up with lots of great ideas to share, but not knowing how to get started. Never mind how to fit writing into your busy day once you do get started.
If this sounds like you, you won’t want to miss this webinar featuring successful author, Bill O’Hanlon, and top-tier publisher, Deborah Malmud! This dynamic duo will share tried-and-true strategies on how to write a book and get it published.
Being an author can:
- Earn you extra income, now and for years to come
- Establish you as an expert in the eyes of others
- Lead to more client referrals
- Lead to unsolicited speaking engagements and podcast and webinar invitations
- Lead to spin-off products that can generate significant income
This highly engaging and interactive 2-part webinar is geared toward mental health practitioners. Attendees will get insider tips, hear anecdotes, and have the opportunity to ask questions.
Bill O’Hanlon will share the Ten Ps to focus your book and how to choose a title that sells. Bill will also dive into how to write a book quickly despite having a busy life. Deborah Malmud will present behind-the-scenes information about the book business to give you a leg up on getting published.
