Description

Today we have the great pleasure of interviewing my final editor of the bestselling book, The Adventure Paradox: How to Haul it All, Go Big, and Go Home. The deeper question behind why we write, who we write to and what we are writing for is explored in this conversation. We have also been talking about designing a writing, speaking and exploring advenutre retreat in New Mexico - please reach out if this sounds fun!!

On this episode of the Adventure Paradox Podcast, Caroline Barnhill, my book editor, joined me as we discussed the process of writing and publishing a book, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Caroline shares her experiences as an editor and book coach, explaining the need for writers to have commitment, dedication, and accountability in their efforts to write a book. We delve into the benefits and practical aspects of Amazon self-publishing, such as on-demand printing and becoming an Amazon bestseller. We also talked about my journey of becoming a self-published author, highlighting the sense of accomplishment and the ripple effect it has had on others. 

By the end of the episode, we agree on the importance of not pursuing perfection but aiming for completion and making an impact with a book instead.
