After decades in the startup world, Kathy Ver Eecke decided to write a book about her experiences. She learned everything there was to know about publishing and got an agent almost immediately – and everyone wanted to know how she did it. Now, through her membership site, Pitch to Published, she helps aspiring authors land agents, attract offers from major publishers, and place books on shelves all over the world. Today, Kathy joins the podcast to share why her startup skillset translated so well to the world of publishing, why the membership model proved to be far more effective and holistic than small group or 1-1 coaching, and beginner steps for anyone interested in publishing a book of their own.

Key Takeaways

  • Why writing a book is just like launching any other product or service – and how to apply your experience launching any business when starting out. 
  • How Kathy’s membership site stops her from feeling the weight of 1-1 or small group coaching – and leads to bigger wins for her clients. 
  • How to use case studies and success stories as marketing for your next launch.
  • The first step for anyone looking to get a book deal – and why you’re probably already five steps ahead of the average non-fiction writer. 
  • The rookie mistake Kathy made early on when launching her membership site – and why community will always be more valuable than content.
