Sharing your story with others in a powerful way of creating meaning out of challenging life experiences. However, publishing your story so that others may benefit is a unique skillset that requires multiple layers of content review, editing, and networking. In this presentation. Dr Leigh will share a roadmap of taking a lived experience and turning that into published books which are currently being used by school districts, grief centers, therapy practices, and hospitals around the world. This webinar will be recorded and available to registered attendees for 30 days.
