AYW Podcast Ep. 8: You Don’t Need Permission to Publish
<p>Many people believe writing a book requires perfect writing, endless time, or approval from a traditional publisher. None of that is actually true.</p><p>In this episode, we break down three simple mindset shifts that help new authors move from thinking about a book to actually creating one.

AYW Podcast Ep. 6: The Three Decisions That Make Publishing Move Faster
<p>Most publishing delays don’t come from editing, design, or logistics.</p><p>They happen earlier — before publishing even begins.</p><p>In this episode of the As You Wish Publishing Podcast, Kyra and Todd break down the three key decisions that allow professional self-publishing to move forward cleanly and predictably:</p><p>• Bringing a nearly finished manuscript into publishing• Defining what “ready” means for you• Choosing your publishing path intentionally</p><p>They also reveal the single decision that slows publishing down the most: trying to use publishing to figure out what your book should be.</p><p>If you’re finishing a manuscript, refining your expertise into a book, or deciding when to make the leap, this episode clarifies the line between writing and publishing — and why separating those phases changes everything.</p><p>Publishing is execution.
