The Write2Ignite Podcast: Ep. 9: Anna Raats

Introducing...

Since 2009, Anna Raats has worked for Ambassador International. From designing the interiors of books, to becoming the Chief Operating Officer of the publishing company, Anna knows a thing or two about publishing books.

On this month’s episode, Brenda and I sit down and ask her the burning questions on every writer’s mind. From how many copies a first time author normally sells, to how many social media followers is enough. And in the meantime, you’ll meet one of the nicest people in the publishing world.
