The Bookbound Podcast

What’s the story you can’t stop telling?  We’ll help you write, sell, and launch it.

Critically acclaimed authors and bestselling book coaches Fran Hauser and Bethany Saltman host Bookbound, the podcast for non-fiction authors who want to learn how to transform their ideas, expertise, and obsessions into successful books and publishing deals. Fran and Bethany interview accomplished authors who share the strategies and surprises behind their bookbound journeys. These how-I-did-it conversations will inspire listeners to claim their own “author-ity” mindset and turn the story they can’t stop telling into a book the world needs to read.
