We're happy to announce a new podcast by Greenleaf Book Group called Published! We're a hybrid publisher and distributor celebrating our 20th anniversary. In this podcast, hosted by Greenleaf CEO Tanya Hall, we will talk about all things publishing and the particulars of writing and launching a book. 

In today's episode, we are excited to interview Greenleaf editor AprilJo Murphy about creating a strong outline for your book to target the right audience and enrich your writing process. April holds a PhD in English and Creative Writing and works with authors to refine their voices to reach their audiences.

If you've ever considered launching your own mastermind group, or you're not sure what a mastermind group is, today's episode is for you! We're chatting with book-writing coach Ann Sheybani and performance coach Walt Hampton, founders of The Summit Mastermind, about the process and experience of leading a mastermind group.

Note: Our host Tanya Hall's book, Ideas, Influence, and Income, is available now! Learn more at ideasinfluenceandincome.com.

One question we often get here at Greenleaf is, "Should I launch an online learning course?" For many, it can be a great way to further monetize their book's content. But how do you know if it's right for you? To help us out, we've enlisted Stacy Ennis, an author, creative consultant, and strategic wordsmith. Stacy launched her course Finish That Book! recently and will walk us through the steps she took to do so. 

Note: 3 sample chapters from our host Tanya Hall's upcoming book, Ideas, Influence, and Income are available for download below. 

Today's episode features Jill Grunewald and Lisa Markley, authors of The Essential Thyroid Cookbook! Jill and Lisa share their process for writing the book, how collaboration in design positively affected the final product, and their advice for aspiring cookbook authors.

In today's episode, we are excited to interview Corrin Foster, Greenleaf's Director of Marketing & Branding, about why authors should consider blogging and how they can get started. Corrin regularly coaches authors on how to build their author platforms and ran a successful blog for fifteen years.

In today's episode, we're answering questions like, should I host an event to launch my book? How can I sell books at my event? What kind of event should I host? And how should I handle sponsorships? 

Answering these questions is Ashland Viscosi, owner of Creatives Meet Business. Creatives Meet Business (CMB) is an event and podcast series in Austin for creatives to define themselves as “artists” and “creatives” AND “small business owners” and “entrepreneurs.”
