About Yvonne DiVita

My friends call me The Book Whisperer. I'm a Book Coach and Author advisor. I help entrepreneurs and successful business professionals put their story into a book. A book that matters. That leaves a legacy. That creates community. That helps build business and invites more speaking opportunities. A book that builds authority. I’m a writer. An author. An advisor. A former book publisher. In 2015, I was awarded the title of Woman of the Year in the Women in the Pet Industry Network. It was the most wonderful accolade and highest honor I have ever received! My favorite saying is: "It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things." Elinor Smith, Aviator

How to Create a Timeless Brand with Nick McGrawesome

It isn’t a matter of just being happy with what he creates for you.

“Happiness is okay,” he says, “Everyone wants to be happy.” But, he’ll deliver happiness and effectiveness – which is far more important.

A white man sitting on the floor reading a book. Text next to the man reads "In the space that I move in, throughout social media and in the real world, the best and most effective way to market your business and/or yourself is to write a book." A book is your mightiest marketing tool.

What is the MIGHTIEST Marketing Tool In Any #Business #Toolbox? That’s right. A #Book.

Call me smart. Because I KNOW a book can do all of those things. It doesn’t do them magically. There isn’t a secret somewhere that you can uncover to learn how a book does all of those things. Launching a book and presenting it to the world doesn’t change YOU – you’re still the expert or master or guru or guide or whatever you choose to call yourself, that you were before you wrote your book. But just having that book, that product, that tool, makes you a marketing genius.

Two men shouting and pointing fingers at each other across a table. Over that photo are a picture of Jerry Manney's book, Why We Argue and How to Stop, and the text "Book Review: Why We Argue and How to Stop."

Why We Argue and How to Stop – A Book for Managing Emotions

Anyone who knows me knows I highlight passages in books to return to, at later times. In this book, the first thing I highlighted in yellow was in the Introduction: “Think of this book as a toolkit.”

For those of us who want to do better, be better communicators, this toolkit is invaluable. Let’s unpack it.

A fountain pen sits on a document labeled "Publishing Contract." This image is attached to a post titled "How do I get a real publisher?"

How Do I Get A Real Publisher?

We served our authors as editors, guides, teachers, book designers, publishers, and to a small degree, marketers. At the time, we encouraged and taught them to blog. Back in the early 2000s, blogging was a successful way to get noticed. Much as podcasts are today. And we did other things to help them get noticed. The hard work, of course, was always at their end. That’s just how it is. As the author, the work of marketing and selling is up to you – no matter who publishes your book.
