63: Michele DeFilippo, How to Self Publish a Book That Looks Professional

I've been secretly stalking Michele DeFilippo for a couple of years now. I love her blog, her book, and her business, and I'm so excited to have her on the show. Many of you know that I've worked with authors for a few years now, helping them with social media. That's how I came across Michele. She's got a fantastic business that helps people create gorgeous self published books.
