We’ve wanted to interview today’s guest since we first started the iCreateDaily Podcast nearly two years ago.
We finally had that opportunity and wow, did she rock!
Today’s guest has written 28 books and sold over 500,000 books in 84 countries and 5 languages. But it didn’t start that way.
In 2007, when her first book didn’t sell, she resolved to solve that problem by learning marketing and the book publishing industry.
And that she did! So well in fact that today, Joanna Penn is an Award-nominated, New York Times and USA Today bestselling thriller author!
