The Personal Branding Podcast With Anna Vatuone

From Substack to Print: What It Really Takes to Publish Your Own Book

Anna Vatuone Season 4 Episode 2

What does it really take to turn a personal story into a book you’re proud to share with the world? In this episode, I sit down with my editor and dear friend, Elena, to unpack the messy, magical process of transforming Lonely Girl from Substack serialization to a finished print book. 

We talk about what it’s really like to edit a memoir, how to know when a story is ‘done,’ the difference between writing and refining, and why honoring your reader is as important as honoring your art.
