It Is The Easiest And Best Time Ever To Write And Publish Your Book

It used to be challenging and rigorous to write a book and have it published. Some people may say, "it only happens if you know someone in publishing, and they connect you". Perhaps it used to be that way, but certainly not anymore. There are far too many platforms to self publish your book, indie or niche driven publishing agencies, digital publishing platforms and templates, editing AI tools, and more! Heck, there is even AI to do PR for your book! Having the whole package to write, publish, and promote your book are in full abundance right now.

If you have been playing around with the idea of writing a book for years, months, stop wasting time. Right now is the absolute best time to finally write the book you've been dreaming about.

As an entrepreneur, no other method will give you better authority in your expertise, than a published book. It also works as a grand domino effect. Once you have a published book under your name, the opportunities that will arrive will be endless.

In today's Bloom Zine, we'll help you get started with incredibly valuable connections and resources to finally make you a published author!

Two very valuable and incredible people you must know and follow for the success of your your book writing and publishing journey...

SAMANTHA JOY

"After writing and releasing my first book, The Less Effect in March of 2018 which became a #1 Bestseller, I fell in love with the process and immediately knew this was my calling. Birthing my story was the most cathartic experience I had ever had and the transformations that have occurred with my author clients since then is nothing like I’ve ever seen in all my years of life coaching.

When I embarked on my path as a writing coach, I quickly realized the importance of creating a partnership with our clients through this very delicate and sacred process. I noticed a lack of transparency and sensitivity with many of the mainstream publishing companies and I knew I wanted to create something different. Shortly after, Landon Hail Press was born.

If you are ready to dive into your story and heal yourself and others with your beautiful words, we are here to guide you every step of the way."
