The Art of Succession · 2024-08-06 · 45 min
In this episode of "The Art of Succession" podcast, host Barrett Young talks with Peter Wietmarschen, a partner at The Author’s Voice. Peter shares the story of how he and his partners took over and transformed a self-publishing support business. The Origins of The Author’s Voice Peter Wietmarschen’s journey began about eight years ago when his mother, Colleen, took the Certified Professional Author Assistant Course. At the time, Colleen was looking to pivot from medical transcription to a new career path. She applied for and received a scholarship to take the course, which laid the foundation for their first business, Your Literary Pros. Together, they helped self-published authors with services traditionally provided by publishing companies, such as editing, book design, and marketing. In 2021, Peter and Colleen were offered the chance to purchase the courses they had once taken. Recognizing a unique opportunity, they acquired the intellectual property and began rebranding the courses as The Author’s Voice. This acquisition included not just the courses but also the established user base and reputation.
