Create and Monetize a Podcast Based on Your Book with Doug Sandler

We all know the benefits of social media and building a landing page for your readers. LinkedIn is a platform that does it all if you know how to use it. Today we’re joined by Owen Sammarone, founder and CEO of Unleash The Knowledge, a digital community for nonfiction authors to expand their reach. In this episode, Owen will explain how your LinkedIn profile can solidify your author brand, help you grow a network, and convert your audience to book sales.

If you want your book to be read around the world, there’s a good chance you’ll need to publish versions in different countries. In this episode, foreign rights agent Terrie Wolf explains the difference between foreign and translation rights, how to negotiate with publishers outside your country, and what an author should know if they want to publish internationally.

In 2023, we interviewed over a dozen publishing industry experts for their insights on investing in the production of a book, self-promotion through interviews, podcasting, and social media, and distribution into bookstores and libraries.
