“I’ve been thinking of writing a book…”

As an author and publisher, I hear this all the time. So it's a natural question to ask, “Why haven't you done it?”

The answer is often, “I don’t have the time…” Still, the unspoken answer is, “I don't know how.”

Watch/Listen to my conversation with Diana Holquist as we go in-depth and get personal about the book writing and publishing journey.

You don't need to do it alone!

With the help of caring, talented people who have been there and done that, you could fulfill your dream of writing and publishing a book.

In this episode of the Munn Avenue Muse podcast Diana and I share some secrets to starting, writing, and publishing a book.

Diana Holquist - Owner/Founder Working Draft Creative

Diana spent her formative years as an advertising copywriter in New York City writing award-winning ads for Pepsi, Doritos, Sony, BMW, and other international brands.

After eleven years, she left the big city to raise a family. She also wrote and published five books with Hachette Book Group, a children's book with Penguin Random House, and a parenting memoir.

But she missed the collaboration of her advertising days--working closely and intensely with smart people to identify problems and find solutions.

Creating business books that get results was the best of both worlds. Smart people and smart books! She loves her job and brings that passion and professionalism to every project.

Her mission is to help all people get their messages out into the world. She's a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in philosophy and lives on the Philadelphia Main Line with one cat, two kids, one husband, and way too many books.

When it comes to addressing taboo topics with family members and friends, all of us can get it wrong.

Dr. McNeal shares her insights, experience, and practical approach to improving our personal and business relationships by just learning to talk to each other effectively and respectfully. Most of us screw it up half the time!

Watch/listen and share some specific techniques that seem simple but we so often get so wrong

Demetria M. McNeal, Ph.D. is a communication scientist and, in her world, sometimes the things you say can be the things that make it impossible to say anything at all. In her practice, McNeal has figured out why certain topics are stigmatized and why communication breaks down, often at the times we need it most.
