Just published

I just published my book “His Second Choice.” And this podcast was so helpful. Thank you.

Practically helpful

I appreciate how Tim breaks down into practical steps things like describing your ideal reader, getting on podcasts and how to make the most of live conferences. Knowing he’s only sharing what he’s done himself or seen work for other authors builds my trust in what he’s saying. And the style or seeing Valerie work out her own process helps me wrap my mind around it to apply in my own context. I look forward to the new episodes every week!
