Hi, co-authors of Femme Led. I have been asked to answer a few questions as part of an interview about the book. I wanted to share the questions here and hear from you-- so I can include you in the media op. Please respond to 1 or more of the questions below (leave your response in the comments). Author Interview - 1. Femme Led: Hard-Learned Lessons from Women in Leadership is an anthology of women’s leadership stories that asks what becomes possible when leadership is no longer treated as control, performance, or self-erasure, but as truth lived in public. What traditional leadership models felt the most urgent to dismantle?  2.Many stories involve stepping away from roles of power. How do you define success after that kind of choice? 3.The book highlights burnout, grief, and disillusionment. Why was it important to center those experiences? 4.Many contributors describe reinvention. Is leadership inherently tied to identity shifts, and how do women navigate the fear of becoming someone new? Sierra Melcher, @Carol Britton , @Janice Marquardt , @Donna Marino , @Tracy MacDonald, @Anna Dravland , @Jean Smarto , @Tiffany Harris , @Diana Frank , @Michelle McCartney , @Stephanie Mikulasek , @Alexandra Yung , @Ann McCreath , @Dr. Katherine Humphreys , @Catalina Escobar , and @Asya Dimitrova

You don’t need a better draft… you need a better revision strategy. Most authors get stuck here: - Over-editing sentences that don’t matter - Feeling overwhelmed by the mess - Not knowing what to cut (or how) Inside this replay, @Emily Sutherland breaks down: ✔ The exact difference between drafting vs revising ✔ Why your structure matters more than your writing ✔ How to edit without burning out ✔ The “cold shower” method to build momentum fast ✔ What to CUT (without losing your work) 💡 Plus: real coaching + behind-the-scenes insights from a professional editor If your manuscript feels messy, heavy, or “not good enough”… this is the session that will unlock it. 👉 Upgrade to access the full replay + detailed notes & join the next expert session (next week for free.)

I want to share something fun... and kind of magical.. As a person who has purchased at least one journal a year since high school, I can tell you they have been life savers for me. And I love re-reading them from time to time to see where I was and how far I have come. So today I took my book cover for The Expectant Author…and turned it into a guided journal + printable workbook using AI. And I’m kind of obsessed with how it came out. I’ll share the cover + the “Ideas” page below so you can see what I mean. If you’ve written a book (or are writing one), you already have the foundation for: ✔ A companion workbook ✔ A journal ✔ A lead magnet ✔ A printable product ✔ A physical product (Amazon, Lulu, etc.) You’re sitting on more than just a book…You’re sitting on opportunities for branded companion products What I created: I turned my book into: A 7-section guided journal Printable pages (digital download) A potential spiral-bound gift version And yes… this could easily become a product people buy alongside the book. Will share the prompt in the comments. Would love to see the results you get with your book!
