In December 2009, Monica Leonelle hit two major milestones in a single month. She graduated with an MBA from Chicago Booth School of Business, and she independently published her first book about social media for business. The latter completely changed the course of her life and gave her a new direction that made no sense, given the former! Fifteen years later, she’s reflecting back on her greatest lessons learned in building a publishing career. This book commemorates the failures and the feelings, as well as the successes and the strategies that got her to this point. This book also reflects on, and pulls lessons from, her two flagship series for authors, The Productive Novelist and Book Sales Supercharged. Part self-help, part how-to, part memoir, Novelist MBA celebrates fifteen years of progress in one author’s career, alongside changes in a rapidly evolving industry, while also acknowledging the future and so much more to come!
