Authorship LIVE with Amira Barger, Author of The Price of Nice | How to land a book deal, write with integrity, and craft an aligned life

​Join me for a live conversation with author, behavioral comms strategist, Professor, and DEI practitioner Amira Barger, whose upcoming book The Price of Nice (coming October 2025) explores how to move past superficial workplace "niceness" to create real change through a proven four-step approach.

​What you’ll learn: 

​– What The Price of Nice is really about—and why it needed to be written

​– How Amira found the right agent and publisher (without compromising her values)

​– How to position your book for wide appeal without self-abandonment

​If you’re writing something that matters, and you want to do it with your whole voice, you’ll get a lot out of this one.
