From First Book to Bestsellers: How Kate Butler Built a Thriving Publishing Empire

Kate Butler didn’t let self-doubt or industry gatekeepers stand in her way when she wrote her first children’s book. That decision opened the door to a thriving publishing business, where she now helps authors bring their stories to life.

In this episode of The Producer Rachel Show, Kate shares how she approached publishing with a limitless mindset, the power of outsourcing to free up time for what truly matters, and the reality of mom guilt when balancing work and family.

We also dive into the lessons she’s learned as a publisher, what she looks for in an author, and how she’s built a platform that has launched bestsellers.

Whether you're an aspiring author, an entrepreneur looking to scale, or a busy parent trying to do it all, this conversation is packed with insight and inspiration.

🔗 Watch now to learn how to ditch limiting beliefs and take action on your big ideas.
