Write the Damn Book Already
Writing and publishing a phenomenal book doesn’t have to be ridiculously complicated or mind-numbingly overwhelming. From myths and misconceptions to practical tips and sound strategies, Elizabeth Lyons (author, book writing coach, book editor, and founder of Finn-Phyllis Press), helps writers feel more in control of and comfortable with the business of book publishing. Her interviews with fellow authors discussing their writing processes and publishing journeys aim to help you untangle YOUR process so you can finally get your story into the world.

Drew Linsalata has been my go-to for years when it comes to audiobooks and podcasts as well as any "How do I get the most bang for my buck?" questions when it comes to tech hardware.
In this episode of Write the Damn Book Already, he helps dissect the why, when, and how of audiobook creation.
Topics include:
- Gear setup (for under $70)
- The popular mic everyone thinks they should use (but shouldn’t)
- What device to read your book from for best flow and quality
- Recommended audio editing software (that’s free!)
- The truth about the cost of producing an audiobook as well as expected earnings (advertised numbers are a bit misleading)
- How to determine if it’s “worth it” to create an audiobook
- The biggest misconceptions authors have about audiobooks
