Writers — here’s one of my favorite hacks that changed everything for me. You don’t always have to type your book. You can talk it out. ✨ I wrote my entire last book using this method — literally over one weekend!I outlined it clearly first… then opened a voice-to-text app, hit record, and just talked my book out loud as if explaining it to a friend. 🎙️ Tool I used: Otter.ai — it’s free to try and automatically transcribes what you say. Then I cleaned up the transcript, rearranged sections, and boom — a rough draft was born. 💡 Why it works: - Your spoken voice is often more natural, clear, and authentic. - You bypass perfectionism — it’s flow, not editing. - You can literally “write” while walking, cooking, or commuting. 🔥 Today’s Mini-Challenge: Try it!Open your outline, hit record, and talk through one section of your book. Then share below:💬 How did it feel to speak your story instead of write it? 🎯 +10 points for giving it a try 🎯 +5 bonus for sharing your experience in the comments

Watching an author move from “I have an idea” to “I’m writing my book” is pure magic — and Selen’s voice is one the world needs right now. I’m thrilled to share that I’m working with Dr. Selen Turner as she begins writing her first book. Selen is a scholar, consultant, and leader who’s transforming how we think about work, culture, and belonging. Her book bridges two powerful worlds — the lived experiences of women navigating workplace dynamics and the organizational systems that shape them. Together, we’re building a book (and a movement) that helps both women and leaders create workplaces where everyone can truly thrive. We are in the early stages of drafting. She joined our writing pilot in September. You can expect her book in print in 2026! 📚 Here’s to the courage it takes to write what matters, and to every woman ready to turn her expertise into impact. #AuthorJourney #ThoughtLeadership #WomenInLeadership #Publishing #BookCoach #RedThreadPublishing #ThriveForward
