Writing a memoir? How do you sell copies if you're not famous? That's exactly what I talk about in this interview with Justin & Alexis Black.
We also talk about:
-how Justin & Alexis sold 5,200+ copies of their book in 5 months
-how to work through trauma while writing a memoir
-"The Police Report Method", and what you should do instead to tell a good story & make your book interesting
-why some memoirs more closely resemble writing fiction
-How they booked their first speaking gigs, raised their fee, and the "magic question" to ask to maximize your speaking fee
-Why they printed 1,500 copies with a local printer, and how you can do this to make more money from your book
-How growing up in the foster / adopt system helped them write & publish their book
...and SO MUCH more! If you're writing a memoir, or if you've had a tough upbringing and you're looking for inspiration, you don't want to miss this episode! Give it a lesson and let me know what you think!
