806. Dani Vee and Mary Anastasiou – Production, Publishing and Promotion – Part 1 Long Weekend Special

EPISODE 806 ⭐️ Part 1 ⭐️

Dear beloved creatives,

In Part 1 of this bonus long weekend episode, Dani Vee and Mary Anastasiou take you through the process from production, choosing an illustrator, design elements, editing and everything about publishing behind the scenes.

We come at the industry from a multitude of angles, including publisher, designer, marketing and publicity, podcaster and writers, and share everything we know, everything we’ve learnt as well as all the things we don’t know!

We also open a can of worms and address the elephant in the room … including how many contracts they’ve had cancelled, dealing with rejection, balancing publishing and being a writer, navigating professional and personal relationships, and the contentious issue of rhyme.

We chat about:
⭐️ The greatest behind the scenes challenge
⭐️ Why a contract might get cancelled
⭐️ When writers should push back and when they shouldn’t
⭐️ How much collaboration does the author and illustrator have when the book is in production
⭐️ How a cover can make or break a book
⭐️ Dani’s obsession with data

We discuss the common mistakes made by aspiring authors and self-published authors.

We reveal what was the writing process switch that made a bestseller?

Thanks for listening
Dani x
