If everyone has one good book in them, therapists should have at least that many! Compelling stories, and a creative sensibility combined with innovative ideas, could help thousands of people beyond their office doors. Have you been wanting to share your personal journey or unique treatment style, whether it’s in a professional book, self-help book, workbook, memoir, children’s book, or game? This workshop will demystify the publishing process and empower you to get your ideas out there. Bring your best ideas and leave with a high-impact proposal that you’ll have an opportunity to pitch to a real editor, who'll also be providing perspective on the publishing process and answering questions. You’ll discover: 

• The best ways to develop your ideas and bring them to life for readers 
• How to navigate today’s publishing gauntlet 
• Powerful strategies for creating an effective, multimedia platform that will heighten your appeal to publishers 
• How to make writing and publishing a personal growth practice and professional calling that enhances and enlivens the other aspects of your work.
