Fully Booked EP164: Project Managing Your Book from Idea to Bestseller

Writing a book is one thing—getting it published and into readers’ hands is another challenge entirely. For first-time authors, the process can feel overwhelming, but today’s guest, business consultant and author Jennifer Musser, shares a strategy to make it manageable. By breaking the writing and publishing process into smaller components—outlining, drafting, cover design, formatting, marketing, and more—Jennifer explains how authors can stay organized and on track rather than feeling lost in the many moving parts of self-publishing.

Her methodical approach offers a roadmap for moving forward with confidence, especially for authors who feel stuck when faced with too many tasks between them and a finished book. In addition to her step-by-step strategy, Jennifer also shares insights and actionable advice on striking a balance between creative expression and market expectations, ensuring your book not only stands out but also connects with the right audience. By applying a project management mindset, she shows how writers can tackle the publishing process with clarity and structure—turning an overwhelming task into a series of achievable steps.
