I'm blogging at Literarily Speaking today with not only a cool way to promote your book, but an incentive for you as well!

When you read about your competitors in the media or find out they have been asked to speak at a prestigious event where you would be an even stronger contributor, do you feel the hairs on the back of your neck start to stand on end?

You are not alone. In fact, this is a symptom of what my friend and colleague Nancy “Broadcast Your Brilliance” Juetten calls Well-Kept Secret Disease.

Experts, speakers, and consultants who have important content to share with their clients…
