International Bestselling Author
When Chris Bailey graduated from university, he received two full-time job offers, but declined them both so he could dedicate a full year to exploring his passion: productivity. He documented his experiments in productivity on his popular blog, A Life of Productivity, and later in an internationally bestselling book, The Productivity Project (Crown Business; 2016). Bailey’s work has received national and international media attention from outlets like the New York Times. His next book, How to Calm Your Mind, was published in December 2022 with Viking.
Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author
Cait Flanders is the author of Wall Street Journal bestseller, The Year of Less. Described by Vogue as “a fascinating look into a living experiment that we can all learn from,” it has been translated into 10 languages, and sold more than 190,000 copies. Her new book, ADVENTURES IN OPTING OUT, is a field guide to opting out of expectations, changing paths, and leading a more intentional life. Cait’s story has been shared in the New York Times, The Guardian, The Globe and Mail, Oprah.com, Treehugger, Forbes, and more.
Author and Popular Blogger
Writer and creator of the popular newsletter NextDraft, Dave Pell has been writing about news, technology, and media since 1999. His writing has been syndicated in Time, Wired, NPR, McSweeney’s, Gizmodo, Forbes, Quartz, among numerous other outlets. He’s regularly invited to participate in public speaking opportunities and podcasts, and has recently spoken about The Future of Media in the Trump Era at UC Berkeley’s BAMPFA Theater and SXSW. His book Please Scream Inside your Heart was published by Hachette in November 2021.
Creating a marketing plan can be the most difficult part of a book proposal, especially if you don't already have a built-in platform or audience. Lucinda and her guests offer advice for selling yourself as an author—even if your social media presence is small (or nonexistent!).
