About this listen

 When you start writing a book, it’s easy to get caught up in trying to make every word perfect. But here’s the truth: your first draft is just the beginning. The real transformation happens through revision, reflection, and the support you gather along the way. Writing a book doesn’t have to be a lonely or overwhelming journey. At the Biz Book Pub Hub, we’re creating a different experience—one where authors are supported by a community of experts who can guide you from the first sentence to a fully launched and strategically marketed book. Whether you’re facing creative roadblocks, shaping your message, or building your author platform, the Hub connects you with the tools, feedback, and community that can help. Plus, our free virtual networking events give you the chance to learn from professionals and connect with fellow authors who get what this process is really like. If you’re looking for guidance on the writing journey, visit www.BizBookPubHub.com and explore how we can support your next step. Now, let’s hear from today’s panelists as they share how they moved from blank page to published book—and how that book helped grow their impact and business. Jim MacLeod wrote “The Visual Marketer: The Marketer's Crash Course for Creating Memorable and Effective Visuals,” a practical guide that empowers marketers to create high-impact, results-driven visuals—without needing a design background—by mastering essential design principles and tools. Susan Fitzell wrote “Neurodiversity in the Workplace: Maximizing Success through Inclusive Dynamic Workplace Design™,” a strategic guide for C-suite leaders to unlock innovation and boost performance by building inclusive, neurodiverse teams through practical, business-driven solutions. Wendy Hutchinson wrote “Finding the Path of Me: Awakening to Remembering Who I Am and Why I Am Here,” a powerful guide to healing, self-discovery, and spiritual awakening—offering tools and insights to help you release what no longer serves you and rise into your most authentic, empowered self.
