Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video with
to celebrate the release of her new book, The Last Parenting Book You’ll Ever Read: How We Let Our Kids Go and Embrace What’s Next.Meagan’s been writing professionally since 2002. She’s considered a pioneer in the “mommy blogging” landscape, and her podcast The Mom Hour has been downloaded more than 20 million times since 2015. You can see why I was eager to learn from her all about the writing and publishing process!
Meagan and I chatted about:
Writing about motherhood — when is it time to write about something new?
Traditional versus self-publishing — do you write the whole book first?
Building a platform as an author — how can you go “all in” on one place?
Working with a literary agent — is it possible to have a collaborative relationship?
Meagan’s creative writing process — what are the benefits of writing in bursts of time versus slower drafting?
Book marketing and launches — how can you get creative with book promotion?
Join me in supporting Meagan’s book release & grab your copy today wherever books are sold! This book is perfect for mothers of all ages and stages — I’ve loved reading about Meagan’s longing for some of the special moments in mothering newborns and toddlers, but also looking ahead to the next stage of how she can creatively live her days as her kids leave the nest.
P.S. As Meagan and I discussed above, book launches take a lot of planning, effort, and creativity from the writer! This is true whether you’re self-published or traditionally published. I have one more stop on my Mother’s Day Book Tour for an author talk about my new book, Good (Enough) Mother, this Friday, May 9 at 7pm at in Lancaster, PA. If you’re in the area or have some friends who you could share it with, will you RSVP today and share it on social media to help spread the word? It would mean so much to see you there!
