Description

What if a publisher only worked with one author annually?



Todd Sattersen from Bard Press explains their unusual model that's produced several multi-million-copy bestsellers.



Todd shares how Bard chooses their single author-for-the-year from thousands of hopefuls. We discuss the 10-year expertise rule, why second-time authors are preferred + why he looks for authors who are really focused on writing above everything else.



Plus, the red flags that kill book deals + why kindness matters as much as platform.



This is part 1 of a 3-part series with Todd covering how publishers really work, what it takes to sell serious numbers + the research that predicts book success.



And look for more episodes in the Your Biz Needs a Book series.



Books discussed in this episode:



The One Thing - Gary Keller



The Little Red Book of Selling - Jeffrey Gitmer



100 Best Books of Work and Life - Todd Satterson
