So what’s the answer?
Luckily for you, this week’s episode is going to cover all that and more.
You’ll learn:
You’ll learn:
- How to get the right balance between telling your story to motivate and inspire people… and just oversharing stuff that isn’t relevant.
- Why using your story can make your book far more memorable to your readers and will encourage them to recommend it to others.
- Why shying away from being vulnerable could be the worst mistake you make with your writing and the key role emotions play when attracting readers to your story.

I hope you enjoy listening!
