The Future is Female: Own Your Niche and Write Your Book
Season 2, Episode 40, Feb 05, 12:46 AM
The stats speak for themselves. When it comes to published non-fiction, female writers are still at a disadvantage. Only 35% of non-fiction prizes are awarded to female writers. Just 26.5% of non-fiction book reviews go to women. Advances tend to be lower, and we’re often left off end-of-year ‘bestseller lists’.
Research shows that we’re often told to ‘leave the big subjects to the men’, too!
However, the tide is slowly turning. Deep in the bowels of the publishing world, change is afoot. Women are no longer accepting this as the way things are. Bold new thought leaders are emerging. But there’s still a long journey ahead.
And I’m determined to be part of it. It’s why I’ve dedicated this episode to reminding you of the true benefits of writing that book you’ve been thinking about and how it can change your life - and your business - in ways you can’t even imagine.

And I’m determined to be part of it. It’s why I’ve dedicated this episode to reminding you of the true benefits of writing that book you’ve been thinking about and how it can change your life - and your business - in ways you can’t even imagine.
Listen to discover:
- How writing a book clarifies what you stand for and helps to position yourself as an authority in your niche.
- Why your book is more than just a book - and how it can expand your business model, opening the door to collaborations and opportunities that can bring in more income.
- How stepping into thought leadership empowers you to believe in yourself and your message.
- Why now really is the time for female thought leaders to publish their books and own their space. Business book boys’ club - be gone!
And lots more!
When your audience sees you confidently stepping into the space that only you can occupy, big things start to happen. And there’s no better way of doing that than by bringing all your knowledge, expertise and experience into a business book. Let 2024 be the year you write yours.
Enjoy!
