HUB 491: AUTHOR PANEL – Carol Enneking and Janice Litvin

HUB 491 Panel Carol Enneking and Janice Litvin

When you sit down to write, it’s tempting to aim for perfection right out of the gate. But the truth is, your first draft isn’t meant to be flawless—it’s meant to exist. The real transformation happens later, in the rewriting and refining.

Allowing yourself to write imperfectly opens the door to discovery. It’s through revising, reshaping, and rethinking that your message gains clarity and power. Every rewrite deepens your understanding of your story—and every messy moment moves you closer to the book you’re meant to create.

I can introduce you to Biz Book Pub Hub Partners, who can help you overcome writing challenges. Check out our curated directory, free virtual networking events, and more at www.BizBookPubHub.com.

Now, let’s meet our panelists:

Carol Enneking wrote “The Rebalancing Act: Wisdom from Working Women For Success that Matters,” a guide to redefining success on your terms, blending career ambition with wellbeing. Through candid stories and field‑tested strategies, it helps you set boundaries, navigate change, and pursue what actually matters.

Janice Litvin wrote “Banish Burnout Toolkit” which offers a step‑by‑step, science‑backed program to spot stress triggers and build sustainable habits. With practical exercises and workplace scripts, it helps you prevent burnout before it starts and sustain your energy over time.

Please join me in welcoming Carol and Janice.

In this episode, we discuss the following:

🟠 Reverse-Engineer the Book’s Business Role: Treat the book as a tool for speaking, programs, or client conversations, not a standalone product.

🟠 Build a Launch Team Around Future Revenue: Invite people to join your launch team who are likely prospects or referral partners for what you want to sell next.

🟠 Focus on Written Reviews, Not Just Star Ratings: Written reviews are harder to earn, but they carry more trust and marketing value.

🟠 Create a Review Follow-Up System: Most supporters need a reminder, and a simple process helps reviews actually get posted.

🟠 Pair the Book With Speaking Offers: When the book is built into keynotes and workshops, it becomes a natural revenue stream.

🟠 Use Collaborations to Expand Reach: Cross-promotion works best when it’s strategic and aligned, not just a generic swap.

🟠 Turn Launch Outreach Into Conversations: A launch sequence can reopen dormant relationships and spark new opportunities.
