One Idea, One Reader, One Step Forward with Allison Trowbridge

About this episode

Bob Goff and guests discuss the writing process and support for aspiring authors.

Writing a book can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. In this Writing Room conversation, Bob Goff, Kimberly Stuart, and Allison Trowbridge talk about what actually helps, focusing on one reader, one clear idea, and the courage to start messy and figure it out as you go. Along the way, Allie shares how her work with Copper Books is helping authors navigate the publishing process in a more thoughtful, supported way. If you’ve been thinking about writing a book but aren’t sure where to begin, this episode is a great place to start. And if you’re ready to take a step further, Allie is hosting a Book Fair in Nashville on May 8, a one-day gathering designed to help aspiring authors understand the full journey from idea to publication and connect with others doing the same.
