Everyone has a book in them. For some people it is a novel, but for an increasing number of professionals it is a non-fiction book.

It is not just independent professional consultants, increasing numbers of in-house professionals are trying to write a book.

Whilst the idea may sound very appealing, the reality is far from easy. The list of challenges that must be addressed before the presses start rolling is extensive.

Andrea Glass is a Book Coach who aims to support first time non fiction authors to overcome those challenges.

In this interesting episode of Rest and Recreation you will hear Andrea explain to host Michael Millward the processes that have helped her support over 200 first time authors to get books published.

In an episode full of useful hints and tips Andrea explains her C.O.D.E. model that helps authors stay focused.

Rest and Recreation is made on Zencastr.

Joanna Barbollo enjoys wine, not just as an accompaniment to a meal, but exploring wine, learning about the different varieties and production techniques, and sharing what she learns.

As Joanna explains to Michael Millward there is much more to a glass wine than simply a great accompaniment to a meal. Wine has history, character and for Joanna wine can evoke memories and emotions that fuel her imagination.

Divulge D’Vino started as a collection of wine reviews that Joanna wrote for her wine blog that are now collated into a book, illustrated by her vibrant art works.

Not just a book about wine, as Joanna demonstrates by reading the first page of one chapter Divulge D’Vino is a force of creative writing that everyone can enjoy.

In this episode of Rest and Recreation Michael and Joanna discuss how Joanna discovered wine and how wine provided Joanna with an opportunity to explore her creativity and build a new social circle.

Joanna is an advocate for the sensible enjoyment of wine. For more information, please visit Drink Aware.
