Supercharge Your Life, Business + Relationships Using Astrology With Tali Edut of The Astrotwins

As a bestselling author who has sold over 300,000 books translated into 10 languages, I know a thing or two about publishing. But let me tell you, it wasn’t always this way. My journey started over 12 years ago with a manuscript that was rejected by 19 publishers. Nineteen! Instead of giving up, I made a bold decision: no one was going to decide my story but me. I took control, self-published my book, and turned that first "no" into a thriving literary empire of 10 books (and counting) that have inspired women all over the world.   Looking back, I often wish I had a mentor —a fierce, self-made author who had been there, done that, and could walk me through the self-publishing process. Someone who could have poured me a glass of wine and said, "Girl, here’s how it’s done!"   That dream mentor didn’t exist for me then, but it inspired me to become that person for others now.   Enter Amanda Frances, my fellow self-publishing queen and dear friend. Amanda is a powerhouse who made the bold move to self-publish her book Rich AF after realizing she wanted full ownership of her work (and the royalties that come with it). When she came to me for guidance, I knew her intuition was spot on. Amanda didn’t just publish her book; she crushed it, selling over 100,000 copies and counting, all while keeping every ounce of her creative and financial power.   Together, Amanda and I have proven that self-published books can (and do!) outperform traditionally published titles —even the ones with big budgets and flashy marketing campaigns. In 2021, we joined forces to create Self-Published, a course designed to help women like you take charge, tell their stories, and get their books into the world on their terms.   Today, we’re bringing you a very special episode packed with our best self-publishing secrets, lessons we’ve learned since launching the course, insights on how the publishing landscape continues to evolve, and strategies to stay ahead as a fierce and fabulous female writer.   If you’ve ever dreamed of holding your own book in your hands, this is your sign to make it happen. Enrollment is now open for Self-Published! Join us here and make 2025 the year you claim your spot as a published author. Let’s do this —together.   JOIN SELF-PUBLISHED HERE.
