In this episode, We enjoyed chatting with Morgan Gist MacDonald, the mastermind behind “Start Writing Your Book Today: A Step-by-Step Plan to Write Your Nonfiction Book, From First Draft to Finished Manuscript.” Let me tell you, this conversation was like diving into a pool of inspiration and wisdom.

SUMMARY
Morgan’s book is a game-changer for anyone who dreams of becoming an author. We delved into the details of writing and publishing a book, covering everything from word count and title selection to getting those all-important reviews. Morgan’s insights are like gold nuggets for aspiring authors; she doesn’t hold back in sharing her expertise.
One of the key takeaways from our conversation was Morgan’s emphasis on storytelling. She highlighted how incorporating personal stories into your book can elevate it to a new level. By sharing your experiences and insights, you connect with your readers on a deeper level and add richness and depth to your content. It’s all about finding that perfect balance between sharing your story and delivering valuable content to your audience.
Morgan breaks it down for us, explaining that aiming for around 30,000 words is a good starting point. But hey, if you have more to say, don’t hold back! Going up to 40,000 or even 50,000 words is acceptable. The key is to deliver quality content that resonates with your readers, regardless of the word count.
And when it comes to choosing a title, Morgan drops some profound wisdom. She advises against starting with a title immediately, urging authors to focus on the content first. Once you’ve nailed down your direction and content, you can develop a title that perfectly encapsulates your book’s essence. Oh, and here’s a pro tip: make sure your title is synonymous with your name, making it easy for readers to remember and associate with you.
Morgan dishes out some killer advice on getting reviews for your book. From lead magnets to follow-up emails, she lays out a foolproof plan for generating those all-important reviews on platforms like Amazon. And trust me, folks, reviews are like rocket fuel for your book’s success. They boost your credibility and increase your book’s visibility and sales.
