This episode is an absolute must-listen for those who want to write a must-read! Today, Liz & Ariel sit down (virtually) with AJ Harper to talk about how to design a book that engages readers from page one, leads them on an intuitive journey, and delivers a powerful transformation that’s even better than they imagined. The three of us share our best practices for thinking about who your reader is, mapping your book, and even editing the manuscript once your first draft is complete. It’s always a treat for us to meet like-minded book pros, and AJ is one of our absolute favorites!
