Hi friend!
Are you wondering if you should take things to a new career level and publish a book? Do you want to know how story-telling, publishing your story, and speaking all work together to help you on your speaking journey? In this episode, I interview Lyda Mclallen.
Lyda McLallen is the dynamic owner of Talk+Tell, a book publishing company and renowned hub for authors looking to bring their stories to life. Lyda and her team are on a mission to empower individuals to craft books that readers fall in love with.
With over 7 years of ownership, Talk+Tell has guided more than 200 authors through the process of publishing and promoting their books. What sets Talk+Tell apart is its unique approach: it doesn't take royalties from authors, but instead champions self-publishing, where authors retain full ownership of their creations. Lyda's passion lies in turning writers into authors and helping stories find their place in the publishing world. Understanding that each story and writer is unique, she tailors her support to meet individual needs. One of the hallmarks of Talk+Tell is its commitment to seeing authors succeed beyond just publishing. Lyda's team helps authors get their books into various bookstores, from indie shops in vibrant cities like NYC, LA, Portland, Vancouver, and Toronto to major chains like Indigo and Barnes & Noble. Additionally, her authors have garnered viral attention across social media and PR platforms, appearing in notable publications such as HuffPost, Vogue, Forbes, CBC, and more. But it's not just about business for Lyda and her team—they become friends with their authors, offering support and guidance through every stage of the publishing journey. With Talk+Tell, authors find not just a service provider, but a trusted partner dedicated to their success. Website: www.talkplustell.com Instagram: @talkplustell
