Notes in the Margin

This is a podcast about one woman's mission to help entrepreneurs and business owners write and self-publish better business books. Each week, we tackle your writing excuses (because they're our excuses too) – and help you beat the Blank Page Of Doom so you can write a book that makes a real difference. Also contains adulting fails, the adventures of the TinySheeps, and a bundle of fantastic interviews with people far smarter than us. Find us at moxiebooks.co.uk.

Vicky and Joe talk teeth and cosmic universal alignment rays in the latest episode of The Business For Superheroes Show. There's a brief argument about grammar and lots of questions. Questions you'll find helpful if you're writing a book and trying to make it better. You'll also find them helpful if you're making anything new and want it to be good. Tune in to find out what questions Vicky asked her beta readers, and why they're important.

 

Key Takeaways:

[2:05 Vicky is still going through mouth torture from her braces.

[4:35] It gets better! 

[8:30] How do you extract helpful feedback from your readers?

[10:55] Vicky lists the 18 questions she asked her readers. 

[16:00] Where did the book get boring? 

[17:30] What was missing from the book? 

[20:55] Get someone to proofread your questions to your beta readers, because Vicky didn’t. Lesson learned.  

[21:40] Get your beta readers to inform you when your stuff is repeating in the book. 

[25:25] For both fiction and non-fiction writers, send people somewhere else, like to a newsletter! 

[29:50] Are the chapters in the right order?
