Episode Description from the Publisher

Welcome back to B is for Book Coach. Today, we’re making space for empathy.Some of the best concepts and tools I’ve ever learned for writing weren’t for writing at all. They were for education, decision-making, personal growth, and the process of change.So when someone asks me a question about a “memoir” or a “business book,” I can’t really answer.Genre alone doesn’t tell us enough about what the book is actually meant to do.Ultimately, the Visibility Spectrum is an empathy tool, giving serious consideration to both the author and reader’s needs in everything we create.Stage 1: ROY Meets Us Where We AreStage 2: The Grues Show Us Who the Author IsStage 3: The Murky Violets Show Us What Can BeEnjoying this space?
