One of the most overlooked skills in building a book-based business isn’t strategy.
It’s listening.
In this episode of After the Book, I talk about what happens when you slow down enough to hear what your readers are actually saying — and what your book may already be doing that you haven’t fully named yet.
Sometimes there’s a gap between what you thought you were writing and what readers are finding. That gap isn’t a failure. It’s a signal.
Listening to your readers isn’t a system. It’s a practice. It’s keeping your ear close enough to the ground that when something real shows up — even quietly, even disguised — you’re present enough to notice it.
This episode is about attention. Because what comes next in a book-based business often reveals itself through your readers long before you consciously design it.
