Using Research in Your Book

About the episode

In this episode, Mike and AJ once again pull back the curtain to show how the sausage gets made. They breakdown what research authors may—or may not—need, how to weave it into the text, and when is there enough. You’ll also find out how saunas factor into Mike’s creative process… but you might want to skip it. (Don’t make it weird. Are you? Did you make it weird? It’s perfectly natural!) It’s another fun insider episode with these two, you won’t want to miss it.

Show Highlights

“So I’m watching PBS…in the sauna. Behave. I’m watching this show and I’m like, oh my gosh. That’s it. That’s perfect research for this story in Chapter Three.”

—Mike Michalowicz


“Research helps validate, ‘Oh, I’m doing that, too,’ or highlights the reader isn’t alone. It helps them relate.”

—AJ Harper
