The Hype Happy Hour Podcast
with Michael Schein

March 1, 2024

I joined author Michael Schein to talk about book publishing and how writing a book is such an important way for thought leaders to get their ideas out into the world and scale their audience. We discuss the roles of editors and agents—and why having a great agent and editor can bring so much value to the final product. We go into a lot of detail about what needs to be included in a book proposal to make it attractive to agents and publishers and why a proposal should focus equally on both your great book idea and your platform. Learn how the most successful authors are able to connect their brand and their book ideas, like Michael has done with The Hype Handbook.
