Episode 293: EBOOK AND AUDIOBOOK PUBLISHING - 2024 Pharmacist Authors Series Part 3 of 3 with Dr. Janan Sarwar and Dr. Theary Chhim from Publishing in Doses and Julie Gold Walthers from Whole Story Studio

The 2024 Pharmacist Authors Series concludes today with Part 3 of 3. The goal of the series is to inspire you to write a book.

Who is the third author in this series? It’s me! Today we’re talking about my eBook and audiobook. The title is Pharmacist Podcaster: A Podcast-Planning Guide for Pharmacy Professionals. It’s a 59-page ebook with 12 worksheets. The audiobook is 92 minutes long at 1X speed, and the introduction is included in this episode. I’ll tell you what it’s about, where you can find it, advice for pharmacist authors, and more.

I also have three guests in this episode. The first two are my publishers: Dr. Janan Sarwar and Dr. Theary Chhim from Publishing in Doses. We share a 30-minute conversation. Then, my third guest is audio engineer Julie Walthers from Whole Story Studio. Our conversation is about 30 minutes as well. Julie helped me with the audiobook.
