Publishing the Book Is Only the Beginning | Behind the Book with Elona Washington

Self-published authors often focus on one major goal: publishing the book. But what happens after the book is released? In this episode of Behind the Book: Experts Every Author Needs, T. Taylor sits down with Elona Washington, Chief Publishing Officer and founder of The Author's Journey, to discuss what authors need beyond publication — including visibility, marketing systems, email lists, brand building, and creating additional revenue streams. Elona brings 25 years of marketing experience, including work with a Big Five publisher, and helps authors increase their visibility, strengthen their brands, and build sustainable author platforms. If you're a self-published author trying to navigate the publishing journey alone, this conversation will help you think beyond the book and start building with more strategy, clarity, and confidence.
