S40E1 - Accepting Imperfection

When you are getting a book ready for publishing, the first step is going to be accepting that the book will never be perfect. And then you need to accept that just because it's imperfect doesn't mean you shouldn't take steps to making it better.

In this episode, Leigh and Ley discuss some of the best ways to accept imperfection in the process yet still achieve a product you can be proud of.
