Debbie Jenkins wrote Stop the Credibility Crisis and Stop Writing Books Nobody Reads after moving from engineering into publishing, building a practice around short books as professional authority tools.

Debbie explains why concise, focused books outperform longer volumes for establishing credibility and generating passive income. 

She walks through the practical strategy of writing books that people actually read, covering how independent professionals can use a single short book to open speaking opportunities, attract clients, and position themselves as the obvious choice in their field. 

Her engineering background shapes her approach: systematic, evidence-based, and stripped of unnecessary padding. 

She also discusses how AI and publishing technology are changing what's possible for professionals who want to write without a traditional publisher.

Wisepreneurs explores how women over 50 monetize expertise and build sustainable solopreneur practice.
