#78 No One is Broken & Everyone Has What it Takes

Listen:

I first connected with Bill Kenower when I sent photos of my books selling out at the conference to publicity director, Monique Muhlenkamp at New World Library, and she noticed that my book, Writing That Gets Noticed was next to Bill’s book Everyone Has What It Takes at the bookseller’s table (now that attention to detail is the mark of a great publicist).

She connected us and Bill invited me on his programs. I loved speaking about my experiences working in publishing, and sharing craft advice on Author2Author.I also did video interview with him for Author Magazine

After reading his books on writing I had to have him on my podcast, too.

Here he shares his passionate perspective that every writer needs to know about.
