Episode 27: (Bonus) Behind the Book "Grieve, Create, Believe" with Author Rachel George
This episode is part two of my conversation with Rachel George focusing on her book “Grieve, Create, Believe: Process Your Loss with Intention and Truth” and her self-publishing journey.
Through several years of experiencing miscarriage, infant loss, adoption, and the recent birth of another baby, Rachel wrote her book, Grieve, Create, Believe as a way to not only process her own grief through telling her story, but also to help others do the same.
Rachel’s book acknowledges that we can’t escape suffering or run away from pain and helps guide readers through expressing and working through their grief to ultimately move towards healing.
Some of the topics we address are:
How Rachel decided that her writing needed to be shared through a book
How writing the book helped with Rachel’s own healing process
Deciding to self-publish
What her editing process was like
Learning what she could do herself to create the book and what to seek help with
How to put together your own self-publishing team
Determining when a book is finished
