Let us know if you would like to be our guest! I'm launching a new series for aspiring authors to guide you through the messy, meaningful, and magical journey of telling your story. My own path to authorship began in a therapist's office and evolved through personal healing, publishing mishaps, and unexpected connections that transformed my book and purpose. • Started writing from therapy journal entries that made my therapist laugh and cry • Hit wall of imposter syndrome while writing about traumatic experiences • Waited until after my mother passed to publish, balancing truth with compassion • First self-published on Amazon with no professional help—and it showed • Met a publicist on anniversary cruise who connected me with editor and publisher • Discovered many readers related to my story, proving I wasn't alone • Created the Plus One Theory from this journey of healing and helping others • Advice for writers: expect imposter syndrome, be gentle with yourself, find support • Your past doesn't define you; it prepares you for purpose Check out the crowdfunding campaign for the Plus One Theory book at PamDwyer.com or PamDwyerspeaker.com. Even $5 or $10 helps, and there are amazing reward tiers perfect for individuals, teams, and aspiring authors.
