My Book
I recently shared that I have finished the first draft of my memoir. I’ve wanted to share my story about how I gained the weight, what inspired me to lose it, and how I lost over 100 pounds on my own. For over a year now I’ve been sharing my weight loss story on this blog and I am so happy that I’ve been able to inspire so many people!
I’m looking for advice from any publisher authors. How did you find a literary agent and/or publisher? Have you self-published?
Please contact me!

Congratulations on your tremendous achievement, Lisa! I’m sure you’re finding the road to publishing a difficult one. Finding an agent/publisher is a full-time job in and of itself, never mind the writing. My book of weight loss success stories, How We Did It (Leafwood, 2011), was many years in the making. It took a year to write, I got a contract and then lost it in negotiations, the manuscript languished on my desk along with the economy, and then finally my publisher picked it up, at which point I spent another six months rewriting. I don’t really have any advice other than to persevere. And, having lost 110 pounds, you know how to do that! Good luck to you.
