Writing a book can feel lonely, but publishing is truly a team sport. It takes a village to become an author, bring a book to life, and sustain your author business.

This week, we hear from Berry Powell’s Director of Author Relations, Marianne Croonquist, on how authors can build their support network. Marianne weaves her expertise as both a book coach and Marriage & Family Therapist to help writers create their circle of care. While this can be uncomfortable, this episode provides several practical ideas of how to ask for help—whether it’s a brainstorming session, a babysitter so you can write, a cup of coffee, or an Amazon review. By the end of this episode, you’ll feel less daunted and more prepared to bring community into your author journey.
