If you’re a blogger and haven’t discovered the Blogging Your Passion podcast by Jonathan Milligan, you’re in for a treat. Jonathan, a pro blogger himself, has a deep passion for helping bloggers take their blogs to the next level. He’s “been there, done that,” and he’ll show you how he did. Jonathan has become a good friend, even a mentor to me, so I’m delighted to let you know about him and his work.

Interview about Blogging and Publishing

I was honored for Jonathan to interview me about publishing and blogging a book on his podcast recently. If you’ve ever wondered about how to get your book published or how you could turn your blog into a book, I encourage you to listen to our podcast conversation. 

Here are the questions Jonathan asked me:

• What would you tell a blogger who said, “I want to write a nonfiction book, but I don’t have a clue where to start”?
• What are the main things a publisher looks for when deciding whether or not to publish a book?
• What would you tell someone who said, “I have a book concept that I’m passionate about, but nobody knows me. Should I still write it?”
• You’ve worked with hundreds of writers in your 15-year publishing career. What are the practices you’ve seen writers use that have helped them stay motivated and keep on going?
• It seems like blogging and writing a book may involve some similarities but obviously some differences too. Is there a way to do both at the same time?

We had a lot of fun, and I feel really good about the content of the interview.
