Ep.22: Mindset & Keys to Write and Publish a Book with Lucinda Halpern

“You should write a book!” Have you heard these somewhat intimidating words spoken by well-meaning others? Have you perhaps heard them from within you or even from Spirit? Have you written a book but want to take it to the next level? This podcast is for you!

NYC literary agent and publishing maven, Lucinda Halpern, joined me for a fabulous, show which I truly LOVED! We went way deeper and higher than either of us expected to. Lucinda shares amazing childhood experiences as a performer, realizing how writing her book brought her full circle to the innate talents and aspirations she’d always had. In fact, I did a meditation at the end to help us all reclaim our innate childhood gifts. It left all of us in the studio in tears. You can utilize it to draw the optimism and innate talent of your brave, magical child into a dynamic NOW. 

I surprised her with a question inspired by the inimitable and much beloved Patty Gift, publisher of Hay House, both Lucinda’s and my publisher. Patty said the person who finishes the book is not the one who started it. So true for me (I turn my manuscript in Monday!) and it was true for Lucinda. She shared about the transformative nature of writing a book, leading her to recount her unexpected path to becoming an author. 

We discuss writing mindset-how to have confidence in your calling and ability to be an author. We discourse upon finding confidence and perseverance in the face of rejection. We explored the importance of understanding the business and marketing side of publishing, including building a platform and knowing your audience

I share my journey of finding an agent ( I was with the incredible Bill Gladstone who sadly passed in December) and becoming a published author. I recount how I built my platform over time, engaging with my audience and learning to see marketing as a means of serving and connecting with others. 

Lucinda asked what one moment inspired me to write a book and I share a deeply personal story that ignited my passion for sharing my work with Angels, to bring relief, resilience and rapture to others, as I had received lifelong. 

Join us for this treasure trove of a conversation about navigating the writing and publishing industry, including abundant success stories from authors, including first time authors. Lucinda also shares insights from her own experience as a literary agent and author, highlighting the encouraging power of her fabulous new book, GET SIGNED: Find an Agent, Land a Book Deal, and Become a Published Author. 

Lucinda shines a spotlight on the publishing industry's inner workings - a thrilling peek behind the curtain. She emphasizes the value of having a literary agent as advocates and champions for authors’ vision as well as their bottom line.

Lucinda concludes by illuminating the gift of persistence as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery and we explore the ongoing support for authors.
