Episode 010 // Everything You Really Need to Know about Publishing a Book with Cassandra Bodzak (CLARITY)

Summary: "I think that's number one: you need to just do the work before anyone is gonna notice." Double digits -- it's episode 10! This is an awesome conversation for anyone even remotely interested in the book writing and publishing process. Cassandra is ripping the curtain off the murky process of how to get a book deal, what publishers are really looking for and how to present yourself in a way that makes them eager to take a chance on your book. In the first episode, my courage conversation with Cassandra, she told us all about how an extremely painful and scary time in her life taught her to go inside and connect to her own inner wisdom. In this clarity episode, Cassandra expands on the importance of listening to your intuition for guidance and how she tapped into hers to create the concept for her new book, Eat with Intention. Eat With Intention is a unique book that combines healthy recipes with meditations and self-care. I picked up my copy and I love that every single recipe has a meditation to go along with it. Cassandra recommends opening the book to a random page, almost treating it like a tarot card reading, and then make that recipe and do the meditation. I’m finding it to be so fun, interesting and different. I’m really excited to get into this one so I won’t delay — it’s packed with good stuff for writers and hopeful authors. Let's dive into the conversation and talk about what you REALLY need to know about writing your book and getting it published!
