“A part of book development is, okay, now I’ve got the concept, I know my fundamentals, I know the research and stories I want to use, but it’s also making space for writing, editing, promoting. It’s the five-year or more marketing plan. It’s considering your publishing path. It’s all a part of book developments.”

“It’s kind of developing a product in that we sit there and say, ‘What’s a problem that’s not being solved? And do we have a unique solution for it? Something that’s different.’ Then you and I meet at retreat.”
