"The thing is when they've got that book and it's in paper and it's in their hands, it's almost like they open up a page and the words already start healing them. The fact that they choose to buy the book, it starts to heal them, they've taken that next step..."

Dawn Bates, Making Conversations Count - (March 2022)

Before the dream of being a published author is realised, many people find themselves in an unfortunate position. 

The system they invest so much time and energy into never sees any real results.

They've probably also spent money on creating their book, using proof-readers and editors, and yet nobody has benefited from their work.

Self-publishing has become increasingly popular over recent years but there are still some things you should know before taking this route to get your book out into world.

Only after listening to this episode of "Making Conversations Count", will you know how to tell the world how awesome your thoughts and words are!

Dawn Bates is a best-selling author and writing coach and an expert in helping people copy words from their brain and paste them down on a document.

You'll learn:

• What type of writer is eligible for that big front end display you see at Waterstones?
• The very real impact writing has on your body, physically
• The challenges of being vulnerable and putting your writing out there
• Wendy's own experience with writing and self-publishing a best-selling book
• The importance of owning your writer voice
• The even bigger important of investing in your authorship
• How Dawn helps her authors further stretch their impact from beyond the pages and into charities and foundations' coffers!
