I’m pleased to interview one of our Biz Book Pub Hub Partners. Our Hub Partners are experts who support entrepreneurs along their author journey.
Today’s guest is a powerhouse in the world of thought leadership and publishing—a true connector who helps experts transform their ideas into influential books that make a real difference. She’s built an extraordinary career as both an author and strategist, earning six traditional publishing deals, ten thought leader titles, a New York agent, and even a feature on Oprah.
She’s also a Wall Street Journal bestselling author whose award-winning networking books were licensed by major brands like Motorola and Yale’s Graduate School of Business. She founded Networlding Publishing, where she’s guided more than 175 thought leaders through every stage of writing and launching their first books. Along the way, she’s helped global companies like Cisco, Office Depot, and American Express build powerful leadership networks—and even created a thought leader podcast to amplify her authors’ visibility and success.
Her passion is helping authors leverage both their books and their relationships to create meaningful impact and lasting influence.
Please join me in welcoming Melissa G. Wilson.

🟠 Voracious Reader Becomes Publishing Pro: From childhood book lover to Wall Street Journal bestselling author, early influences can shape your lifelong career in business publishing.
🟠 The Power of Strategic Networking: Learn how partnering with corporate leaders and thought leaders can open doors for your business book far beyond what you could do solo—and the best strategies for building the right alliances.
🟠 Making Authorship Accessible: Get the inside scoop on the “33 Ways” framework—an approachable method for first-time (and reluctant) business authors to quickly write, publish, and market a legitimate, business-focused book that stands out.
🟠 Support Circles & Community: Why launching a business book is never a solo act, how to build authentic author support networks, and the proven impact of community-led book launches on long-term business growth.
