HUB 404: AUTHOR PANEL – Dan Gingiss, Nikki Soulsby, and Steve Yacovelli

by Robbie Samuels | Dec 10, 2024 | Networking, Podcast, Professional Development | 0 comments

Staring at a blinking cursor at the top of an empty page. That’s the image I had in my head when I started thinking about writing my first book, and it almost made me quit before I began my author journey.

Three published books later, I can say from experience that there are a lot of ways to write a book, and the only way you shouldn’t do it is all on your own.

Even if writing comes easy for you, you would still benefit from conversations and input from your prospective readers. Being in a community of fellow writers and authors will help you identify new opportunities and realize when hiring help is the best next move.

That’s why I founded the Biz Book Publishing Hub. I’ve gathered more than 50 experts who help entrepreneurs become successful authors. Our Hub Partners will help you navigate the complexities of writing, editing, publishing, and marketing your business book – and you will realize that publishing is NOT the finish line. It’s the latest you should start marketing your business book.

Writing a book can be a lonely experience, but it doesn’t have to be! Surrounding yourself with fellow writers and authors could help you get going and meet your author goals.

This free resource is available at www.BizBookPublishingHub.com, where you’ll also find out about the free Hub Community virtual networking events I host throughout the year and show notes with all the links from our guests on the Biz Book Publishing Hub Podcast.

With me today are three authors.

Dan Gingiss wrote “The Experience Maker: How to Create Remarkable Experiences That Your Customers Can’t Wait to Share.” Dan points out in the book that a positive customer experience is the way to stand out in a competitive marketplace.

Nikki Soulsby wrote “Lies I Told Myself, & Other Truths: How to Squash the Mental Monsters and Live Your Dreams,” a candid and reflective memoir that explores personal truths, growth, and self-realization, offering insights into overcoming internal and external challenges.

Steve Yacovelli wrote “Your Queer Career: Workplace Advice from “The Gay Leadership Dude” to guide LGBTQ+ professionals in navigating workplace challenges, building leadership skills, and thriving in their careers, with a focus on embracing authenticity and inclusion.

Please join me in welcoming Dan, Nikki, and Steve.
