In this episode, you’ll hear why compilation (anthology) books can deliver big impact when they’re curated like a conference agenda—multiple experts, one theme, and practical takeaways.
Brad and Dixie discuss the new release “Connect, Lead, Succeed” (book two in the series), featuring insights from 16 international experts and a broader series now totaling 28 authors from 17 countries. You’ll learn what makes their “conference in a book” approach different: authors are selected on merit, content is developed from their best keynote material, and an MC-style narrative ties sessions together so the theme flows.
They cover why authors join anthologies (speed, lower commitment than a full book, credibility through association), what can go wrong with poorly managed projects, and key criteria to evaluate invitations (who’s producing it and their track record, number of contributors and chapter depth, content curation/editing/design standards, and who you’ll be associated with).
They also share how Amazon Author Central can link the book to your author page so your followers are notified at launch, and how collective promotion increases traction.
The episode includes details for an upcoming live event in conjunction with the Global Speakers Summit in Cairns on Thursday, 12 March: “From Pages to Paid Programs: How to Sell Workshops Built from Your Books,” running 2:00–4:30 PM, followed by drinks and networking (venue to be confirmed). You’re invited to grab the book on Amazon.
