You have the deal… Now what?

In part three of our How to Write a Book series, Kate continues to pull back the curtain on the book writing process, this time around actually writing the book itself. Now that you have your proposal written, you’ve acquired a literary agent, and you’ve signed a book deal with a publisher, it’s time to bring your story and message to life!

 Kate shares the behind the scenes of her timeline and some of the hurdles she faced while writing Thinking Like a Boss. She shares her top five tips that helped her manage her time and meet deadlines, since the writing and editing process is a full-time job on its own! Tune in and take notes so you can create a writing schedule that works for you, too!

Remember this: There is no right or wrong way to actually write the book – there is only the way that works best for you!
