Description

My guest today is Monica Black - and here is some more about her.

Monica is a writer who is enjoying a lifelong love affair with the power of words and the way we paint images with them. Her love of writing started when she began writing about the places she visited while she served in 2 branches of the military (Army and Air force). As a book coach, she has extended that love into teaching business people how they can author their own book to help them broaden their audience base. I aim to show them that their book can do much more than showcasing their vision/purpose in writing, it’s also one of the easiest ways to add bottom-line revenue to their business.

Monica and I talked about:

• Her upcoming book for women over 50 who want to use what they already know to reinvent themselves 
• Her work and time in the military, and how she learned through this her own capacity for reinvention
• How she channelled her knowledge of studying English into helping people write their books.
• What stands in people’s way when they want to write a book 
• The power of sharing your stories - even if they feel “ordinary”
• What makes a good story (and it’s not what you think)
• The power of having an editor, and that external lens on your work
• How writing can change you
• Why legacy is important, and how our stories can be a legacy
