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.

And if you want to check out other episodes, just click here. You’ll want to keep reading to find more resources below and how to enter the giveaway! You can listen to the whole conversation here, or on Spotify, Apple, or Amazon Music.
