Getting It Published: Under the Cover

zimmerman-podcast-getting-it-published-under-the-cover.jpeg

Today I’m sitting down with Rachel of Questions with Rachel to talk about the process of getting the book published!

The book publishing process is a totally foreign world, and every day I learn something new.

EPISODE 32 TOPICS:

  • Why we decided to switch publishers

  • My priorities when it comes to the quality of this book

  • Why I’m not the easiest to work with 

  • Why I could never do this if I had to do a traditional two-year publishing process

  • Why I chose hybrid publishing

  • All the people involved in the publishing process

  • Why the book was more of a heart decision than a business decision, and I’m okay with that.

SHOW NOTES & LINKS

A Winning Website

Want to know the first step to booking more clients? You’ve got to have a website. And not just any website, but a site built to book! If you’re just starting your business, you’re probably wondering how you can share about your work, gain clients, and start making money! The answer to all of these is your WEBSITE. When I first started my business, I didn’t have the money to pay a professional brand expert to create the brand you see here today. But I didn’t have to. I used the resources I had to invest in my business and create a brand that would attract the type of client I wanted to work with, supported by a website that was built to transform searching brides into life-long clients. If you want a simple guide on how to create a site that books without having to invest thousands in a branding expert before you’re ready, you need A Winning Website!

I've been named a top wedding planner by Southern Living magazine, and have my wedding and floral work featured in PEOPLE magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides, Once Wed, and more.

And my signature straight-shooting business insights have been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Business Insider.
