You are a serial entrepreneur in publishing and speaking. Tell us about your background. My background is mainly in Marketing and Events, but my reasons for starting both The Book Chief and The Speakers Index, is my mission to help small business owners become more visible.
I realized how hard it was to do this when I started out and so ALL three of my businesses concentrate on building credibility, authority, and exposure mainly through social media channels. The Book Chief was the last business I started in 2021 during lockdown and this had been sitting with me for over a year. I knew I wanted to publish lots of my own collaborative books and so I retrained, launched and to date we've published over 250 Authors from over 20 Countries.
Today, The Book Chief Publishing House has an impressive resume of global clients and Authors. Is there at least one book in everyone? I would say absolutely
YES!!! We've all lived a life. We all have knowledge on various topics we've learned during that life, and we all have an imagination. AI has also made things far easier now in terms of helping you come up with ideas and research so there is no excuse, especially if you're a business owner, to start aligning your book around your business. This instantly creates a perspective of influence and authority and lets people know that you have something to say on your subject and that you have enough to say that can produce a stunning book full of valuable insight.
How do we get started? Write down five things you could talk about a lot. From those five, choose the one that gives you goosebumps. The one that you could talk all day about and not worry about coming up for air. Once you've decided what that is, create a 'mind map' and list out all the areas within that topic that you could talk about. That's your chapter headings! You can do this for any genre of book whether it be a business book or novel. That's the easiest way to get started in terms of writing. If you've

already written your book and you want to publish through an Award-Winning Publishing House, then obviously I'd say contact us, regardless of where you are in the world. We publish books from Authors worldwide with the best guidance and advice and after care to make sure you're doing everything you can to make your book a success.
You were awarded ‘Book Publisher of the Year 2023’ and have published over 250 Authors to date including the youngest known author ever to be published at age just 4. What does it take to be a bestselling author? The one thing we don't do is guarantee anyone a 'bestselling' spot. This might be controversial, but on Amazon, if you apply some loopholes, you can get that status, but it doesn't actually mean that you're a best seller in that sense of the word. The ones to really go for are the New York Times Best Seller and The Sunday Times Best Seller. These require you to sell between 5000 and 10000 books in a week which I feel is more a TRUE account of the term.
