Becoming a bestseller is something that almost every author would love. Today's episode is with author Ally Deatherage who was referred to me by Shayla Raquel, a past guest, from Episode 12 on Author Branding. Ally reached the number one spot on her first day. We talk about her process for writing her non-fiction book Sort By Season and how she was able to pack a lot of value in a small book. We will also talk about how she overcame her doubts when picking categories where Marie Kondo and Martha Stuart reign supreme.
