How to Stop Your Book Feeling Repetitive

Have you ever flipped through a book or a journal and felt that every page was the same? That feeling has a name, and it is one of the most common problems in self-published books. In this video I share what flow really is, four practical ways to give your books better rhythm, and the three most common pacing mistakes I see in self-published books. I am also giving you a free planning worksheet today. The same one I use to map out the structure of any new book before I design a single page. This is part three of my five-part series on production design. Free Book Flow Planning Worksheet: https://thehomeboss.podia.com/the-boo...
